Mr. Fitzgerald thinks too highly of himself....IMO.
I agree and ditto to Victoria Toensing.
His behavior as a US attorney in that presser was very unseemly, blatantly unprofessional, and contrary to what his position requires.
Just the facts, Fitzie ... that’s your job to describe, not your histrionics and emotional outburts.
Credible and respected US attorneys, are expected to be the pinnacles of professionalism and integrity.
Though he’s known as a relentness prosecutor, and he’s shown he is a bulldog, I’ve long wondered, since his behavior during Scooter Libby’s trial, if he was just a little too dramatic and overreaching and too tunnel-visioned in his methods, statements and decisions.
Inserting himself personally so cavalierly into this highly charged legal matter leads me to believe even more that he is very professionally flawed.
It’s like he bores into the scenario in his mind and works only that possibility, in addition to his inappropriate descriptives.
I also think his quirky mindset causes him to ignore other possible factual scenarios and defendants because they don’t conform to his preconceived notions.
I wonder how he could so blithely state that BHO was not involved, what with the Rezko house deal and the fact that Rezko is the close associate and long time funder of both BHO and Blago. They’re in the same machine network.
If he’s mentally eliminated BHO from investigation because it doesn’t fit in with his imagined scenario or he views him as untouchable due to his election elevation, he’s not doing his job and he’s an accessory to injustice.
I fear he’s going to gloss over the depth and breadth of the crimes here.
And if he is so misguided as to be doing this to protect a possible president-elect, as if that would be too disruptive, God help him. Nothing could be more disruptive and revolting than to give ANYone who’s possibly implicated in any way a pass.
I think he’s become destructively infatuated with his own press.
