Unlikely. Bush is already taking shots at him in front of reporters. It wouldn't make sense to do that and then hold onto him. Bush has to get rid of him now because holding onto him when the hearings start won't do anything for his position. He has to show he is changing policy and he cannot possibly hold onto these people and still change policy. That's why Rumdum is gone.
