Where is the expression of disappointment? Where is the questioning about how (it appears) that Mr. Fitzgerald has either been out-foxed, or has somehow dropped a very big ball.

To me, big deal he’s going after corruption in Chicago. He has muuch bigger fish to fry in Washington, DC and his performance is one big fat let down.

Am I the only one?

Yep, same nutcase Byrne. Just goes to show that even a blind pig can sometimes root up an acorn from time to time.

Sorry, I’ve got nothing more profound than that. :-)

In the last few weeks, his assistant US Attorney, Shapiro, has been handling the press conferences instead of Fitz on corruption and other crimes in Chicago. Maybe Fitz is attending to other matters.

I believe Fitz is an honest man, but he’s there to enforce law, not fix the political problems of the US. If you are unhappy with the way government runs, then you need to do something. Run for office, call your local officials, get on government committees, write your newspaper. It’s not easy. I know first-hand that those in power at any level will try to beat you down. Been there, done that. I won a few battles, but the price is high. Fitz has undoubtedly received a lot of battle scars … unless you’ve been personally involved in fighting for people to have a say in how government runs, criticism of Fitz rings a bit hollow.

We (the West) are – indeed – fighting a brutal enemy. As I wrote on numerous occasions, I am in favor of an aggressive policy towards terrorists and regimes that support them. But, while fighting against this brutal enemy we should not let go of the la…

July 6, 2006 — In Addington, CIA LeakGate Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has likely met his match. Addington never liked independent counsels let alone special prosecutors. The mere fact that Fitzgerald was threatening the unitary executive would have prompted Addington to pull out all the stops. Therefore, it should come as no surprise that Addington likely interfered in the Fitzgerald Grand Jury process. The word in Washington is that Fitzgerald was told an indictment of Rove would go no where since Bush plans to place Libby’s name on the next Christmas pardon list. Libby was indicted for lying to a Grand Jury. With a pardon of Libby, Fitzgerald would have been hard pressed to bring a case against Rove or Addington’s alter ego, Cheney. Chicago’s crime fighting Eliot Ness met his match in native Washingtonian J. Edgar Hoover. In Washington’s Addington, Chicago’s Fitzgerald has witnessed history repeating itself.
