That’s why I call Valerie Plame the Poster Girl of witch hunts. Everything in her name reveal could have been resolved within days. Instead, Patrick Fitzgerald conducted a multi-million dollar, multi-year politically motivated witch hunt investigation when the perp was known to him from the get-go.
Not only did Fitzgerald know it was Armitage within days, but he told Armitage to keep quiet about it so he could continue the witch hunt for years after he knew.
