Fitzgerald will "give direction" on the investigation (UPDATE: Fitzgerald Press Conference at 2pm )

[kcvl]

Per Fox News...

[Peach]

So we finally have a good question and Fritz won't/can't answer it.

"So we're taking the word of three reporters vs. Libby?"

[JFC]

This man is the type that would prosecute a ham sandwich.

[Eagle of Liberty]

* It is irrelevant to the case who sent Wilson on the trip whether it was his wife or someone else, so the lies that got this whole thing started don't matter.

You are correct.

WHO SENT WILSON? WHO SENT WILSON?

[debg]

I'm kinda picking up that the reporters are not thinking this is credible.

[Diddle E. Squat]

I agree with that. I don't think that Fitz is motivated by liberal politics, but of course liberals will take anything and try to spin it.

[maggief]

Those reporters look as baffled as we are. LOL

[Sam Hill]

"Libby had to know she was covert to charge him with that crime. I think...."

I thought so, too. (Probably because it's true.) But Fitz clearly thinks differently.

[Peach]

It may be irrelevant to Fitzgerald now but as soon as Libby calls Wilson and Plame as witnesses it will quickly become relevant.

Exactly!

[prairiebreeze]

Me neither, Dolphy. I wouldn't even remember my own damn name.

[SE Mom]

Yup- the press is baffled by this.

[toomanygrasshoppers]

He's so full of himself right now. He will look back on this little presser and regret it.

[abner]

All I see is the big zit trying to pop up between Fitzgeralds eyes.. Maybe that is why he is so nervous.

[irons_player]

Where's that Iraqi disinformation guy?

[afnamvet]

If he does not even know this basic question, WHY THE REST OF THE INVESTIGATION? FIND THE ANSWER TO THE BASIC QUESTION! GET THE INFO! The CIA is really pissing me off here more than anything else. If she was outed, it MATTERS whether she was COVERT or not. If she was covert, crime. If she was not covert, no crime. The CIA should be MADE to answer this simple question.

I believe the CIA may have taken the position that Plame's status is classified. This whole excercise is, IMO, a hit piece against the white house and the President.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He reminds me of someone that has no common sense, book smart maybe, but people stupid.

[BigSkyFreeper]

Watching this press conference reminds me of some nightmares I have that go in a constant loop and are hard to wake up from.

[rightinthemiddle]

These guys want to him to emphasize that the investigation is ongoing...

...in other words, they want to keep alive the "Rove could be indicted" story.

[onyx]

At least there's MEAT on a ham sandwicxh.

[Types_with_Fist]

He hasn't discovered one single substantive thing he was empowered to find out.

[Jrabbit]

That was the best question so far! The twit didn't answer...
