I'm thoroughly confused now and don't have any idea how this is going to turn out. I wish Fitzgerald would be disbarred for this travesty of justice he has pursued.
Fitzgerald is a disgrace.
He knew, or should have known, on Day One and after a couple of phone calls that no crime had been committed in the "leaking" of CIA desk jockey Valerie Plame's name.
We also know now that Fitzgerald found out very early on that it was Armitage who was the initial source of the "leak". Yet Fitzgerald wasted millions of taxpayer dollars by continuing an "investigation" into an alleged crime he knew never happened, until he was finally able to grab what Mark Levin referred to as "low lying fruit" - - a crappy, shaky, irrelevant indictment of a lower level guy that arose only through the process of the investigation. And Fitzgerald only came up with this silly "low lying fruit" indictment in order to justify his costly, drawn-out, pathetic "investigation".
Justice Department corruption doesn't get any worse than Fitzgerald unless you count Judge Walton, who was apparently too much of a coward to laugh Fitzgerald and his crappy indictment out of his courtroom.... on Day One.
