looseheadprop (95) — in this case, I wonder two things: was the Aragoncillo situation a put-up, a method by which the OVP attempted to obstruct justice by removing evidence while stroking the Arroyo administration…or if not a put-up, could there be evidence gathered by the FBI that Fitz could use in the investigation and prosecution of the CIA Leak case? Food for thought.

Yes they can. You have to represent the info to the new grand jury. If you have ever heard the term “spin off case”, it’s when you discover evidence of a crime while investigating another crime.

If you have never seen the Victory of Samothrace at the Louvre, in Paris, the way you come upon it is much like Fitzgerald’s investigation: climbing a long staircase, suddenly, you look up and there,looming overhead, this incredibly glowing, as if lit internally by a mysterious light, Nike. One simply gasps in awe at the beauty of the sculpture. And, you have a moment of artistic truth. It is one of the greatest artistic statments of ancient Greece. Might Fitzgerald be creating, for us, one of the defining moments in our Constitutional history?

Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg said Tuesday that a Republican proposal in Congress to set up a watchdog over the federal courts is a “really scary idea.”

Ginsburg told a gathering of the American Bar Association that lawyers should stick up for judges when they are criticized by congressional leaders.

“My sense now is that the judiciary is under assault in a way that I haven’t seen before,” she said.”…………..

Both people were granted anonymity because their publishing companies have signed nondisclosure agreements about the content of the proposal.

The leak of Ms. Wilson’s name, which first appeared in a column by Robert D. Novak, the syndicated columnist, produced a full-scale Washington scandal. Investigations are continuing into the identity of the person who told Mr. Novak, and possibly others in the media, about Ms. Wilson.

The January 2006 issue of Vanity Fair has a David Margolick-written lengthy look at Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. The more I read it, the more I liked Fitzgerald and his values and actions.

And that isn’t solely because he refuses to be intimidated by the ‘vanity fair’ of the Bush Administration.

Patrick Fitzgerald will not be sucked into the Bush/Rove/Cheney vortex and could care less what Bob (Savin’ My Ass) Woodward, Victoria (damn, where’s my White House talking points memo) Toensing and Judith (I know Ahmed Chalabi and Patrick Fitzgerald can’t hold a candle to his truthiness) Miller have to say about him.”………….
