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

[onyx]

LOL! He's clean cut looking. And youthful. Works in his favor.

[cardinal4]

Kind of anticlimatic, really...

[Congressman Billybob]

Yes, the press is beginning to see Fitzgerald as obsessive, like Bogart as Captain Queeg of the USS Caine, fumbling with his ball bearings as he comes apart in public.

Will this press conference end before the actual trial is over?

[tobyhill]

Sounds like he never had any outing charge from the beginning but was stretching this out to nail someone on something else.

[Diddle E. Squat]

But as it usually happens with the left sooner or later, Moran's quesion was an overreach that completely backfired. Fitz's answer shot the air out of their "It goes much deeper about the war/forgeries/Halliburton" nonsense.

[abner]

All I can see is that zit, or whatever it is between his eyes.

Same here... and blah, blah, blah!

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

He is not making sense.

[maica]

Fitz is NOT saying that Plame was or was not COVERT when Libby outed her. Libby is not being charged with this. So, the CIA is not allowed to tell what her status was? Interesting.

CIA CYA

[Mo1]

How does Fitz kow the reporters gave him the "straight story"?

That's the 64,000 Dollar question

[Eagle of Liberty]

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.

That is my problem. Classifying the status NOW means nothing. Everyone knows who she is. Whether she was COVERT at the time or not is meaningless in the present time as far as the CIA and their work is concerned. SHE IS OUT. Anyone that dealt with Valerie Plame as a COVERT know who she is now. Anyone who dealt with Valerie Wilson know that she once was Valerie Plame. We already know that she WAS COVERT. We now want to know when. Giving that info does not bring harm to her.

This press conference is going on an hour!

He thinks he's kind of cute and clever. Not!

[Sacajaweau]

Abe probably started this line when his business was slow. It's called "convincing argument".

[tiredoflaundry]

lol

[PhiKapMom]

Interesting take compared to some other comments.

[hugorand]

Keep him talking ...

My thoughts exactly. I can't believe all of the information he is throwing out there. Does he think he's trying the case now?

[weegee]

The woman who wrote the legislation will be on Sean Hannity's radio show this afternoon (just announced).

His show in broadcasting the press conference live (already in progress).

[onyx]

He should have called this presser quits 15 minutes ago.

[Protect the Bill of Rights]

Fitz is wrong. I wasn't scared. Were you?

[maggief]

Can you picture that grand jury listening to this crap for two years?
