Someone tell me- When will Fitzgerald be done

[panader0]

with his investigation of Rove? Can the convergence of a Rove indictment and the Abramoff trials happen before the 06 election? Face it, DUers, 51 million Americans are dumb. Why else would the polls keep changing? They like him, now they don't, now they do, now they don't. I haven't changed my mind about politics ever. The American dummies need big news headlines to influence their votes.

4. Fitz is a fraud!

They got to Fritz long ago. He'll do nothing in the end Libby will go free and Rove will never even be charged. It's all just a another phony Rethug horse and Pony show.

7. Oh, yeah, that's right

He's a fraud. He's spent the past two years working two jobs and zillion hour work weeks because he's just doing it to help his buddies the Republicans. Right.

Here's a few facts. Chew on these. He's registered to vote as a non partisan. He has repeatedly proven that he doesn't care what party those he prosecutes are from. If they commit crimes, he's going after them, and it doesn't matter to him how it impacts his career. He managed to secure the first indictments against a White House staff member in 130 years, for instance. I could go on and on, but we'll let the man speak for himself.

"One day I read I was a Republican hack, another day I read I was a Democratic hack. The only thing I did between those two nights was sleep." Patrick Fitzgerald, October 28, 2005

>They got to Fritz long ago.<

This just makes me furious. Have you read anything at all about this man and his career? How would you like working the kind of schedule ensuring that you have NO personal life? Do you work a job that you have to take security measures for your own safety, like not getting mail at home? If they "got to him a long time ago," he'd be sitting in a plush New York City law firm making a million a year, not working to convict those like the four people that blew up the World Trade Center the first time.

The next time you go after someone who has been praised by friends and foes alike as "incorruptible", you might want to educate yourself first.

9. Interesting....

Patrick J. Fitzgerald began serving as the United States Attorney
for the Northern District of Illinois on September 1, 2001.
Mr. Fitzgerald was initially appointed on an interim basis by
Attorney General John Ashcroft before being nominated by
President George W. Bush.

http://www.apfn.org/apfn/Fitzgerald.htm

Who does Fitzgerald report to?

Since 2002, the agency has been conducting some warrantless eavesdropping on
people in the United States who are linked, even if indirectly, to suspected terrorists
through the chain of phone numbers and e-mail addresses, according to several
officials who know of the operation. Under the special program, the agency
monitors their international communications, the officials said. The agency, for
example, can single out phone calls from someone in New York to someone in
Afghanistan.


Warrants are still required for eavesdropping on entirely domestic-to-domestic
communications, those officials say, meaning that calls from that New Yorker to
someone in California could not be monitored without first going to the Federal
Intelligence Surveillance Court.

10. And your point is?

>Mr. Fitzgerald was initially appointed on an interim basis by
Attorney General John Ashcroft before being nominated by
President George W. Bush.<

In other words, everyone currently working as an appointee is the enemy, right? Patrick Fitzgerald's friend James Comey (acting attorney general during Ashcroft's illness,) actually nominated him for his job in Chicago. James Comey was also the person who stood up to the Bush administration and refused to sign off on warrantless wiretapping in the first place. The Bushies were forced to pay a hospital room visit to Ashcroft, who also refused.

Those posting on this thread obviously haven't done their homework. Here's a snippet of the Vanity Fair article:

http://www.vanityfair.com/commentary/content/articles/060123roco02

>All of the cushy perches to which lawyers of his ilk usually parachute—the fancy law firms and large corporations—hold little appeal for him. He hasn't the stomach for elective office, and a high-level political appointment—to head the F.B.I. or C.I.A., or to become attorney general—would require a politician bold, or desperate, enough to tolerate someone clearly beyond his control.<

I'm not paying $3.95 to post the following from the New York Times, but you are free to do so. The title of the article is "Leak Prosecutor is Called Exacting and Apolitical".

http://select.nytimes.com/gst/abstract.html?res=F10612F9385B0C718EDDA90994DD404482

There are hundreds of articles online from hundreds of publications talking about the fact that Patrick Fitzgerald doesn't politicize his job. He goes out of his way not to.

There are a few political appointees among our friends. Should they quit their jobs, too? (One works for the FDA, and the other one works for the US Forest Service. I have a third friend who is a prosecutor for the Department of Labor.) They work hard. They're not getting rich. They do it because they believe in what they're doing.

12. Guilt by association?

"James Comey (acting attorney general during Ashcroft's illness,)
actually nominated him for his job in Chicago."

Explain what you mean by that?

So this is wrong....

Patrick J. Fitzgerald began serving as the United States Attorney
for the Northern District of Illinois on September 1, 2001.
Mr. Fitzgerald was initially appointed on an interim basis by
Attorney General John Ashcroft before being nominated by
President George W. Bush.

The heart of this....

The guys behind the curtains....

They said they believe?

According to several current and former State Department officials?

The State Department officials, who spoke on condition of anonymity?

The group's members included Rove, Bush advisor
Karen Hughes, Senior Advisor to the Vice President
Mary Matalin, Deputy Director of Communications
James Wilkinson, Assistant to the President and
Legislative Liaison Nicholas Calio, Secretary of State
Condoleezza Rice, National Security Advisor Stephen
Hadley and I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

James Risen Speaks....

"What you begin to realize is through intelligence officers, CIA
operatives and KGB operatives, you get a kind of sideways glance
at a stage show," he said. "They're the guys behind the curtains
or in the back row piecing information together.

"We can go for 20 years and think we know what the truth is and
then constantly be surprised because something else always comes up.
There are always layers upon layers in these spy cases, and
it's extremely hard to find the truth."

Try Before You Buy

A contract assignment allows both employers and job seekers to become
better acquainted before committing to each other on a long-term basis.
Observing an interim employee at work is far more telling than the
information acquired during the interview process. Likewise, job seekers
are able to get a better handle on whether they want to commit to the
organization for the long-term.

honesty and reputation are paramount

13. Frankly, I'm dazed

How did you manage the leap from James Comey and Patrick Fitzgerald to the WHIG group?

Are you implying that they are involved in the coverup?

If you are, I can only say that you've a very active imagination.

5. He'll Be Done When He Tells You He Is Done

And I don't mean that facetiously. I think he will make an announcement when his investigations into this matter are complete.

11. Don't count on him

He will make sure the investigation looks above board and real but as I said Rove will never be charged and Libby will be allowed to slip away and that will be the end of this. Now if this an ivestigation of a BJ by Billy et. al. then the full power of the Congress would be behind the investigation.

14. I have no idea if Fitz is gonna do it for us, but he gives me hope.

For Fitz withdrawals, I recommend low-dosage Abramoff injections.
