Fitzy? You got some 'splainin' to do.

Senator Leahy is hinting that the may call him to testify before the Senate Judiciary Committee.

Fitzgerald May Testify on Prosecution of Libby Case, Leahy Says

By John Hughes
July 8 (Bloomberg) -- U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald may be called to testify about his prosecution of former vice presidential aide Lewis ``Scooter'' Libby, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said.

Leahy and Arlen Specter, the ranking Republican on the panel, indicated they want to ... quiz Fitzgerald on his handling of the case.

``I still haven't figured out what that case is all about,'' Specter said. ``There are a lot of ramifications that I think we ought to go into. Why were they pursuing the matter long after there was no underlying crime on the outing of the CIA agent? Why were they pursuing it after we knew who the leaker was?''

ONG--you mean me and Arlen Specter agree on something? And he's NOT attacking a Republican?

“U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald may be called to testify about his prosecution of former vice presidential aide Lewis ``Scooter’’ Libby, Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Patrick Leahy said.”

Well, I suppose they will be dragging out the welcome wagon and the softball questions all on our nickle.

Specter's comments make sense. I hope he doesn't get all weak-kneed when Fitzgerald testifies.

If Leahy and Spectre are involved, they’re up to no good.
