If I understand you, your point is that the fact that McClellan says that George W. Bush "knows" that Rove was not involved does not mean that George W. Bush knows that Rove was not involved.
Perfectly true. That's why I wrote "Scott McClellan says that George W. Bush knows..." rather than "George W. Bush knows..."
But you also wrote "How long has George W. Bush known that Karl Rove was not involved--and thus also known who was involved?" I don't think the "and thus..." follows.
