Patrick Fitzgerald—A Tale of Two Cases and a Congressman

If Fitzgerald accepts Nadlers' offer to investigate Impeachment Charges of the Bush Administration, then we all conclude that he has an agenda and wants to be a hero to the left. I can't bring myself to say, " Hillary's AG".

If that should happen, all Hell will break loose.

All the initial referral covered was the Identities Act and, possibly, the Espionage Act. One afternoon's research would have shown him neither was violated. Anything he did afterwords was a deliberate attempt to manufacture crimes out of air, something he didn't try in the Harkin case, where he apparently did his best to avoid serious evidence of probable violation of the applicable underlying statute. All of this shows he has a profound personal agenda, driven by intense ambition, the become a Clinton AG, unaccountable as Reno was, as long as he complies with and facilitates Hillary's corrupt desires and goals.

Are you a Dummie?? Your post sounds like it.

Just because Conley was at the meeting, doesn't mean he was a participant in the meeting. It's likely that he got in as some type of undercover Harkin agent. After all, he plead the fifth and did his best to obstruct the later investigation, something neither Libby nor Rove did. If he didn't have guilty knowledge, he'd have probably cooperated to protect Harkin, as Libby and Rove did to protect Bush and Cheney. Their voluntary cooperation shows, by itself, that there was a lot less chance of a violation than in the Harkin case.

Nevertheless, Fitz went on a jihad in the Palme case. That shows he's trying, unethically, to destroy the Bush administration, in the middle of a war for our notional survival, on any basis he can fabricate and expects to be rewarded by becoming Hillary's AG. Nadler's enthusiastic recommendation for him as counsel for any potential impeachment investigation pretty well blows the scam and is strong evidence that there's been some kind of improper and unethical communication between him and the Clinton camp.

After all, the Clintons try to flip anybody they can. Just look at Rush with Markie Post, David Brock with his boy friend, probably introduced to him by the Clintons, and Gary Aldrich's account of an attempted flip in Unlimited Access.

Add to this the fact that destroying the Bush administration, making the WOT unwinable, would make him the Democrat superstar who'd be first on the list to become Hillary's AG. As such, he'd have unaccountable life and death power, just like Reno, provided only that he enabled anything Hillary wanted to do. It's a genuinely terrifying prospect.

After what he's been doing to President Bush, that's like going to sleep with a black mamba, the most dangerous, venomous snake in the world.

Interception of electronic communication isn't necessary; all that's required is an interception of an oral communication with a device that passed in interstate commerce, just what probably happened here. Can't you Dummies come up with better responses??

[libstripper]

I get tires of all these hoseheads persecuting Fitzpatrick.

What kind of a vehicle do you have and how did you get the "tires?"

[libstripper]

Fitz is a single man without a family. He doesn't really need a huge income. OTOH, unlimited, unaccountable life and death power, like that exercised by Janet Reno (remember Waco and Elian Gnzales), is the greatest drug of all. Fitz is on the edge of mainlining it, subject only to the need to please Hillary.

One time I don't spellcheck...

[libstripper]

Happens to us all.

[mosquitobite]

I'll agree with that.

Nope fraid knot.

First the communications were not intercepted. The person recording was admitted to the meeting and Iowa law allowed members to record meetings. That's why the county attourny refused to get involved.

Second, sending a recording made legally across state lines is not an crime and is not prohibited. That's why the US attourney refused to get involved.

You simply can not make a crime out of this event no matter how hard you try. The entire text of 18 USC § 2511(1)(a) is available on line for your enjoyment. There is no reason to make these things up.

I get tires of all these hoseheads persecuting Fitzpatrick. They are just killing the messenger. He did his job and he also stressed Libby was innocent

Please, spare me the cheerleading. His job was to investigate an apparent "outing" of a supposedly covert CIA agent. Shortly after the investigation began, he had to know Plame wasn't covert and hadn't been for quite a while, if ever. At that point, he went and asked for the investigation to be broadened. It should have ended if he had one ounce of integrity.

>> He got his present job from Bush and the recommendation of Senator Peter Fitzgerald. If we can avoid persecuting him too much, we could run him as the anti-corruption candidate against Obama. <<

Shhh. Don't try to use logic or facts with the Patrick Fitzgerald haters. Since he's now indicted a guy who happens to work for a guy they voted for, all they can do is use the playbook of the Ken Starr haters and scream "partisan zealot!!", "witchhunt!", and "kangaroo court!!!" incessantly. It's a good thing this case didn't involve sexual behavior or they'd be calling Fitzgerald a "pornographer" next. They seem to have received their Prosecutor Smear Tactics 101 from James Carville.

The knee-jerk "defend anyone with an 'R' next to their name" crowd is making this website look more and more like a forum full of Ken Starr haters, c. 1998.
