Fitzgerald calling Conyers....come in Conyers... [View All]

[Truth2Tell]

Am I the only one who finds it a tad interesting that Patrick Fitzgerald keeps slinging inflammatory new charges at VP Cheney, even as the Libby trial winds down and his investigation is apparently "over"?

Yesterday Dan Fromkin chronicled some of the material references to the VP contained in Fitzgerald's most recent filing to the court in the Libby matter. Keep in mind this filing is meant to be in regards to the LIBBY SENTENCING, not Cheney in any direct way. Yet Fitzy seems to deliberately drop in all kinds of Cheney bombs:

The investigation, Fitzgerald writes, "was necessary to determine whether... any of those who were involved acted at the direction of others. This was particularly important in light of Mr. Libby's statement to the FBI that he may have discussed Ms. Wilson's employment with reporters at the specific direction of the Vice President."

- snip -

"...there was reason to believe that some of the relevant activity may have been coordinated, and where there was an indication from Mr. Libby himself that his disclosures to the press may have been personally sanctioned by the Vice President."

Sooo, I'm wondering if Fitzgerald isn't sending a message to Congress: "Yo.. Look over here! I've got the goods... but you need to ask me for them.... Please.."
