"Not so much is it a fake indictment as it is one that would lead to more evidence coming out of the wood work and eventually withdrawn."
Kind of like Rathergate...
Maybe someone can explain the basis of this "case" to me. Fitzgerald is investigating the leaking of an undercover CIA agent's name. Plame is clearly not undercover and therefore the law doesn't apply. He should have immediately ceased the investigation. Any lying done in the course of this investigation should not be a crime as there should have been no investigation to begin with. Why would this not be "fruit from a poisonous tree" - like an illegal search?
I wouldn't say it was akin to rathergate cuz in that example the usage of documents were just plain false.
In this example the record, as it stood the day fitzy made indictment, looked like scooter was left holding the ball. I wouldn't say that is the same as claiming fabricated documents are part of the legit record. ( yes I use legit loosely there)
So he said scooter is holding the ball and now a whole host of people with additional evidence are coming out of the woodwork.
In the respect that maybe fitzy knew there was more to the story and this was his method of 'outing' those avenues I can see your comparison to rathergate.
