Does anyone remember Fitz was supposed to have wrapped up 18 months ago?

[Justice Is Comin]

They were speculating a year and a half ago that the investigation was about to come to an end. :rofl: :nopity:

I think Colin gave them a veritable feast of astonishing and cover up information. I also don't think it can be stated enough about the interview Fitzgerald had with Bush. It was witnessed by several of his team if they ever need witnesses to what he said. And Bush had his lawyer there. His nuts are right in the cracker

WAS BUSH INVOLVED IN THE LEAK? In July 2005, the New York Times raised the possibility that Bush could be involved in the leak. “It is still not clear what the investigation into the leak of a C.I.A. operative’s identity will mean for President Bush. So far the disclosures about the involvement of Karl Rove, among others, have not exacted any substantial political price from the administration. And nobody has suggested that the investigation directly implicates the president. Yet Mr. Bush has yet to address some uncomfortable questions that he may not be able to evade indefinitely There is the broader issue of whether Mr. Bush was aware of any effort by his aides to use the C.I.A. officer’s identity to undermine the standing of her husband, a former diplomat who had publicly accused the administration of twisting its prewar intelligence about Iraq’s nuclear program.”

BUSH QUESTIONED BY FITZGERALD FOR OVER AN HOUR: On June 24, 2004, special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald and several of his assistants questioned the president for about 70 minutes in the Oval Office. Bush retained a private lawyer, Jim Sharp, for the interview. A prominent First Amendment lawyer, Floyd Abrams, said “It’s hard to believe the special prosecutor would be burdening the president with an interview unless they had testimony to the effect that the president had information.”

STARR DEPUTY SAID BUSH INTERVIEW SUGGESTED HIGH-LEVEL INVOLVEMENT IN LEAK: The New York Daily News reported, “The Bush interview ‘indicates there’s obviously a belief that the leak was at a high level,’ said Sol Wisenberg, a former Starr deputy who questioned Clinton. ‘The President usually doesn’t meet and knock around ideas with midlevel staffers.’”

1. You do remember NYT/Time fought US supreme court cases?

That accounted for almost a year and a half, right?

2. I didn't remember that. It's a shame that there was no case then

as the election would have been that much more difficult for BushCo to steal.

Maybe it would have been impossible to steal.

3. Maybe Bush is involved......

and so distracted by what's coming that he couldn't focus on.........Katrina? I think that this investigation has taken a long time because Fitzgerald has to be certain that he's got enough info to indict........I can't imagine the burden of making decisions like these; has to be monumental for Fitzgerald. When you stop to think of the scope of what the involvement may be........WOW! He's got to have a plan for the aftermath. Good thing this isn't *'s decision--aftermaths being one of his many weaknesses!

Colin Powell is not happy with what he HAD to tell the U.N......so he got even dumping every tidbit he knew as he testified...this just gets juicier and jucier! :bounce: Thanks for the post.

4. I remember hearing that Tenet was cooperating too

That's why they WH is freaking out. They have no clue what Fitz knows and doesn't know.
