"The left would have been better off if Fitz issued a report"

He couldn't. GJ proceedings are secret.

He may not be able to reveal details of the proceedings but he could lay out the issues - make a statement. Restate the law and say how serious it is. Say how "high officials need to be careful with classified info." Much of the press conference was a morality play anyhow. He could write a book. Everybody else does. Write a novel or fictionalized account. He could leak. Everybody else does. The weak indictment is going to backfire on the left and the MSM.

Rush has always said the left especially the MSM will regret they pushed for this investigation and that is likely how this will pan out.

"GJ proceedings are secret."

But he did issue a report it is in the guise of an indictment. He did indict but the indictment was for lying. If he was only supposed to reveal proceedings pertinent to the indictment he had no business mentioning the so-called outing. It is part of the proceedings but not part of the charge. No body was indicted for outing but he had plenty to say about it.

Following this precedent he could have indicted a ham-sandwhich then went on to describe what they learned in the proceedings.
