Fitzgerald started his "investigation" and directed it specifically against White House when he knew from Day One who talked to Novak and that statute did not apply to Valerie Plame. He asked (threatened) people not to talk about their real "involvement" in the case to keep confusion going in order to entrap the ones who were not "involved" in the "leak", and thus also kept Wilson's and Dems lies and accusations going.
Nifong, OTOH, didn't know at first whether crime was committed, only had a flaky victim/witness in the beginning, yet he kept going and then started to lie and cover up when it became obvious that his "case" was falling apart.
Conclusion: Nifong has nothing on Fitgzerald. Conclusion: Both should be disbarred, but it is Fitzgerald who should be made an example of abuse of prosecutorial power run amok for political and personal gain.
Fortunately, both of them failed to be successful in their cover ups. When appeals court overturns Libby's conviction whatever is left of Fitzerald's legal career will be over. He might as well then find a safe Democrat district and be a "Congressman for life" and continue to mooch off the taxpayers for the est of his miserable life. Worked for Clintons.
I agree with you. My post was merely to point out the prosecutorial misconduct that occurred in both cases.
And thanks for the clarification and elucidation of the difference between the two prosecutors. I learned from your post.
Thanks again. ‘Pod.
