[Meanwhile Fitzgerald lied to the public and congress by continuing the investigation long after the facts were known so he could trump up some phoney charges and continue to bill the government millions of dollars.]
Yep. Fitzgerald is just like Nifong...drunk with power and stupidity. These DA's aren't really pursuing justice. What a sham.
Fitzgerald isn't stupid--this is helping the liberal agenda, to discredit the Iraq war by getting a jury to accept Joe Wilson's version of reality (about Saddam's efforts to get the bomb).
The case boils down to Russert's word about what was said in a long-ago conversation vs. Libby's, and all the prosecutor has to do is to persuade 12 liberals to believe Russert over Libby.
