Prediction for Kushner, Manafort etc testimony

11. Patrick Fitzgerald's investigation wasn't fictional, either

The investigation into the Valerie Plane Affair was a deeply serious event. Evidence seemed to suggest that the Vice President and a close aide to the President had exposed an undercover US CIA agent. For months, there was hopeful speculation that Mr. Fitzgerald would bring multiple indictments. Ultimately, it was mostly what I've lately heard called a "nothing burger."

Your reference to a "newbie reporter" is confusing to me. The most prominent reporter involved in the story was Judith Miller of The New York Times. She was not a "newbie." In fact, she was imprisoned for contempt of court because she wouldn't reveal the source of her stories. Ultimately, I. Lewis Libby, an aide to VP Cheney, came forward and admitted that he was Ms. Miller's source.

Regardless, her veracity is questionable:

"In April 2015, Judith Miller published an autobiography in which she, according to the Daily Caller, "now concluded, after reviewing old notes, that her testimony about her conversations with Libby that led to his conviction may have been false ... Had I misconstrued my notes? Had Fitzgerald's questions about whether my use of the word Bureau meant the FBI steered me in the wrong direction?" (from Wikipedia)

However, Mr. Fitzgerald's investigation did net a prize:

"As special counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel, Fitzgerald was the federal prosecutor in charge of the investigation of the Valerie Plame Affair, which led to the prosecution and conviction in 2007 of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby for perjury." (also from Wikipedia)

Please explain your comment. Thanks, in advance.
