I am afraid you are right.
“How much longer will that thing hold?”
It only has to last until Jan. 20th and then 0 makes the whole thing disappear.
I am afraid you are right.
Guys, if Barry fires Fitz on the 20th -- as is his prerogative as the new POTUS -- The Poop Will Hit The Fan here in the Chicago Metro Area ... BIG TIME.
Besides the current Blago indictment for selling Barry's Senate seat. Fitz has investigations into his administration for other corruption matters going back years. With Blago it wasn't a matter of "if" he'd be indicted, it was only a matter of when.
Fitz also has ongoing investigations into the Cook County Board (all Dems) for corruption, PLUS, ongoing investigations into Mayor Daley's administration, also for corruption. Indictments are flying right and left, and Mayor Daley is looking over his shoulder like he was Fredo Corleone. He hears the pitter-patter of FBI footsteps in his dreams and the 'movers and shakers' of City Hall are now actually shaking.
And if Barry fired Fitz it would be so 'dang' transparent. The firing could only be seen as nothing but a cover-up to protect his fellow Democrat politicians. And I don't think Barry wants to go there on day one, or day one hundred.
So IMHO Barry will HAVE to do what Dubya did with Klinton appointee Mary Jo White in NYC - leave her in the post until all investigations, trials, etc are over and everything complete.
Natch I can be wrong and you guys right as rain. But Barry's asking for BIG TROUBLE if he knee-caps Fitz. We are sick and tired of the crooked pols of BOTH parties (aka the Combine) and Fitz is cleaning it up and locking them up.
Caveat: I have no idea of what Fitz was thinking with Scooter Libby. But he is Golden here with the citizens.
