Patrick Fitzgeralds Legacy: Letting Rove And Cheney Go
In the Plame case, Fitzgerald prosecuted Libby, then-vice president Dick Cheneys chief of staff, for perjury and obstruction of justice related to the leak of Valerie Plame Wilsons identity as a covert CIA operative. But he stopped short of charging Cheney or top presidential adviser Karl Rove both of whom had been targets of his investigation.
Fitzgerald was appointed as a special prosecutor in late 2003 to investigate the July 2003 leak of Plames identity, which came during a White House effort to discredit her husband, former U.S. Ambassador Joe Wilson.

I hope not too, but I think the state courts are going to be the ones to bring trump down.

the less confidence I have that anything new is going to happen. My guess is that sometime before the next ice age, Mueller will wrap up his investigation and file a report with Congress. And that's all that will happen.

had been locked up. I learned my lesson about expecting too much from special prosecutors.

of these investigations ... if the power brokers want it so.
