1. don't get your hopes up |
|
yes, I do think there will be indictments, but before it goes to trial they will be pardoned
This is why WE MUST TAKE BACK CONGRESS in 2006 or it is lost for a long long time

This, however, is all the more reason for him to be quiet and careful. From my vantage point, I think he's doing this all very well.

Building a solid case against a vast criminal organization takes oodles of time. I am far more encourged by the fact he's taken so long to get this far than I would be had this information come out immediately.
The only reason we know any of it at all is because those bits of information are so solid, public exposure doesn't threaten them. Have patience for what else is hidden in there.

6. If he's smart, he'll press for indictments NOW |
|
before Roberts can taint his witnesses in bogus Senate hearings, and before his term runs out in October. I'll bet he's got more than enough to get convictions on Rove, Libby and Novak--he's just pushing as aggressively as he can to see how much farther the conspiracy goes. I still think the big fish is Cheney.

7. Don't rush the wheels of justice. Theu turn slowly but surely. |
|
You don't really want Fitz to rush his conclusion. It's much better to be right and sure than fast and miss something.
I trust Fitz. He's a real hard a** attorney who doesn't seem to care about party, prominence or money, just about securing justice.
It's likely not to extend beyone Oct 1st. This already August, so we're only talking about 2 months! We've waited for 2+ years, we can last another 2 months!

10. Bush won't even need to pardon them all |
|
The courts have been completely locked down by the Federalist Society. The judges will just dismiss the charges.

11. Fitzgerald convinced a judge, who was trying to create new law .. |
|
... to shield Cooper and Miller, to issue an opinion and a ruling that required them to testify.
He did so because of the enormity of the 'national security' breach Fitzgerald was already able to present to the court before February, 2005.
With all we now know, that we did not know in Jan/Feb 2005, we can expect the case Mr Fitzgerald has assembled is going to be devastating.
If I were Bush, Cheney, Rice, Gonzales, Feith, Perle, Wolfowitz, Rove, Libby, ......, you betcha I'd have a bunch of big-buck lawyers on retainer.
Peace.

13. Remain open to the possibility that nobody (important) broke the law |
|
Because right now nobody, not even Fitzgerald, knows who - - if anybody - - did anything illegal.
He could come to the end of his investigation and determine that no laws were broken.
He could end up indicting one or two (relatively) low level CIA officials.
He could decide that Bush's involvement (if any) was not criminal or even unethical.
And even if Fitzgerald finds that Bush and/or Cheney broke the law, it will take time and a hell of a lot of effort to impeach them. And what will impeaching them get you? President Dennis Hassert. Unless, of course, Bush pulls a Nixon first and trades a pardon for landing us with President McCain. Or Frist.
Be open to all possibilities, and know that victory does not usually come in one complete package. Otherwise you'll ruin your health.

16. why wouldn't Fitzgerald know if anyone did something illegal by now |
|
He's probably getting everything in order, but knowledgewise he's got to know a lot already
