Bout time someone said it! IT IS A BUSH VICTORY! The Dems and Leftists were aiming for the BIG FISH (Rove, Cheney, Karen Hughes, Bolton & even BUSH) but got nothing but Libby!
It's not over yet. He'll charge Rove before he's through.
It's not a Bush Victory it's a national disgrace.
This high-powered prosecutor has spent two years and over $700,000 taxpayer's dollars to investigate "the outing of a covert CIA agent." It should have taken about twenty minutes to determine that she was not a covert agent. A couple of hours if somebody were out of the office at the time.
This is like investigating a murder where the supposed victim is alive and well, sitting at home watching coverage of the investigation, and the DA never bothers to find out if the "victim" was ever attacked much less dead.
Don't forget they are STILL AIMING FOR BUSH, and have not given up!!
What upset me is that some on our side like to spin this endlessly and try to make all the doom and gloom from it and that President Bush is in big trouble, blah, blah, blah…. Instead of looking at it as a “victory” for us and an “utter defeat” for the left and their media whores. The Left and their media were waiting for their great Fitzmas gift, a nice big car (Rove) and all what they got is a matchbox (Libby) and Libby was charged on things not related to the “Leak itself”.
Rove is safe for now, but maybe not for long.
Peter Fitzgerald's day job is U.S. Attorney for Northern Illinois. He has been rooting out political corruption in Illinois for a few years now and has been spectacularly successful. In the "Safe Roads" scandal, he started out with a truck driver and a entry-level clerk in a Secretary of State's Drivers facility in 1997. Sixty seven indictments and 59 convictions later (so far, that is), he has the ex-Governor of Illinois in the dock for racketeering and conspiracy. It's blown up the Illinois Reflublican party and is a major factor in why Barak Obama sits in the Senate.
More recently, he's started out with a few low level people and contractors in the City of Chicago, and is climbing the ladder. Daley is visibly sweating, saying he knew nothing about how people who supported his administration got sweetheart deals leasing trucks to the City. But more and more of his people are finding themselves answering subpoenas and looking at indictments. Stay tuned.
Fitzgerald is no hack. He is doing a fabulous job of cleaning the Augean stables of Illinois politics. He is feared in Springfield (the state capital) and in Chicago. I was against his appointment for this job because I was afraid it would interfere with his efforts in Illinois. didn't want him taken out of Illinois. Fitzgerald gets the bottom people first, convicts them, and them offers them a break if they turn in their bosses. You've seen it a million times on Law and Order, NYPD Blue, etc., etc. But he gets the documentation to back it up and make the witnesses credible. He gets convictions. Rove's legal troubles aren't over; they may be just beginning. Indicting, trying, and convicting someone like Libby first and going after the higher ups later is exactly his MO. It may take him 3 or 4 years to get to Rove's level, but he's go the patience.
If you want to look up what Peter Fitzgerald has been doing in Illinois, search on "Fitzgerald Safe Roads Illinois" and "Fitzgerald Hired Truck Illinois".
It's a victorious battle for the MEDIA! They defined it, demanded a special prosecutor and worked overtime in their
normal lying mode to try to get what they wanted. so far they've not gotten Rove but hold on. We have got to figure some way to get the truth out after they spout their bile.
They've not got quite the power of a decade ago, but still are able to select the stories to make heroes of democRATs and defame conservatives.
