right but fitz may have to move on. he waited to long to drop the other shoe. anything he does now will stink of cya and abuse. woodward has already set the tone. his remarks about fitz being a loose cannon are just the beginning. remember you do not get a second chance at the king. he is no longer of any use to the faux coup plotters. he looks like a light weight.

I agree. I was referring to his own personal instincts and desires compelling him to want to fight it out. He may not be allowed to. I have no doubt that over the next several days frenzied consultations will be occurring "at the highest levels" of the Iron Triangle cabal about how to proceed. If they conclude that the risk of blowback is too great they may just cut Fitz loose. My gut instinct is that Colin Powell is involved in this mess, and probably Hillary Clinton (via Mandy Grunwald) as well. They can't allow that to come out.

The sad irony is that no matter what Fitzgerald was promised, even if he wins this case and Hillary Clinton becomes President, then Jamie Gorelick will be the Attorney General.
