Fitz said what..IF? Get the hell out of here....did he?

Yep - here is his exact quote (TiVO):

"I will say this. Mr Libby is presumed innocent. He would not be guilty, unless, and until a jury of 12 people came back and returned a verdict saying so. BUT IF WHAT WE ALLEGE IN THE INDICTMENT IS TRUE, then what is charged is a very, very serious crime that will vindicate the public interest in finding out what happened here."

He said this right after the stuff about banning someone from baseball, and sand in the umpire's eyes. (rolling my own)

This is terribly confusing....if he wasn't done investigating, then why charge Libby now? I'm just befuddled.

He want say whether she was covert. Well, isn't that the whole damn point?!!!

...BUT IF WHAT WE ALLEGE IN THE INDICTMENT IS TRUE, then what is charged is a very, very serious crime that will vindicate the public interest in finding out what happened here."

There's the bottom line. He wants to be 'vindicated' before the public and if he make his charges stick, the people will be happy to pay for this travesty.
