1. God I hope not!

[still_one]

2. maybe from his Chicago job, but NOT special prosecutor

incidently, I do NOT see anything on Yahoo, which is what the caller referred to

[DrJackson]

3. Neither do I

Yahoo and CNN are not reporting this as far as I can tell. I'll keep hunting, by I truly hope I don't find anything...

[still_one]

you won't

4. It's his boss, Coney, who stepped down.

And he appointed his own replacement, who sounds like another bulldog, to replace him, so Fitzgerald should still have a highly supportive boss.

[applegrove]

8. Wasn't Coney part of the cabal? If he is who I am thinking of...

this is good news. Dam I'm just not good with names.

[moc]

15. If you mean "part of the cabal" as in a neocon, no

Comey was/is not a neocon. Actually, the best thing that ever happened to this investigation was when Ashcroft recused himself and Comey appointed Fitzgerald.

[applegrove]

19. Okay then this resignation was expected. Someone is to replace

Fitzgerald's immediate boss (Ashcroft & New AG were both recused as his immediate boss). The question is who will replace this guy.

5. Nothing on Google news.

And there would have been a press release.

6. nothing on google news nt

[Cocoa]

7. he's in the middle of ten zillion major investigations

he's in a dream position for a U.S. Atty, going after Rove, George Ryan, Mayor Daley among other lesser scumbags.

ie., seems doubtful he'd sell out for some boring corporate job.

[Zorro]

9. McDonnell-Douglas doesn't exist anymore

Boeing bought it years ago.

[applegrove]

10. A prosecutor would be dam bored with corporate work.

[Scout1071]

11. I'm going to have to throw a BS flag on this one.

I would find that extremely hard to believe.

[SoCalDem]

18. Here ya go, Scout :_)

[Whoa_Nelly]

12. This sounds absurd, especially considering

Fitzgerald is the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.

[Me.]

13. They Must Have Been Referring To Comey

who was Fitzgerald's boss, who has been retired to be replaced by Margolis. And I believe the job is with Lockheed. Better fact checking needed here.

[Neocondriac]

14. It hasn't appeared

on the AP wire yet!

[Alizaryn]

16. Whew !

[cascadiance]

17. This is actually a repeat broadcast...

I'd heard this same broadcast a few days ago (last week I think). Note that at the beginning when he introduced Becky Lourie, there was no indication of Cindy Sheehan being back at Camp Casey, when in fact she got back yesterday.

Ed later comes on to say that it was Fitzgerald's boss that resigned. If there'd been much to this, we'd have heard about it last week.

20. Welcome to DU, now time to learn one of our procedures...

... called auto delete. Edit your post and change your title to auto deleted and erase all the message text.

Otherwise this bit of false info will start riccochetting all over the blogosphere...

It was Fitzgerald's superior who quit the DOJ for private practice, not Fitzgerald.

21. Thanks for the info n/t
