Has Fitz keeping the GJ open till 2005 made it WORSE for the Shrub cartel? |
|
If they had come in with indictments in '04, then maybe they would have gone lighter on them... but with the absolute ARROGANCE and STUPIDITY shown since 11/04, his "political capital", and everything else that has come out... could this have made them way more critical? more likely to name Shrub & CrashCart as un-indicted co-conspirators? more likely to, ahem, 'Drop the Hammer' on them?
I know we've been waiting with bated breath.. but in this case was patience a virtue???

1. I think Fitzgerald will stick to the facts he has |
|
and the reason he waited till now was for Miller's testimony which he felt would fill in a few spaces. What took the time was waiting for the Supreme Court decision about the reporters. Waiting until now and today's political climate has nothing to do with guilt or innocence.

2. Think Miller's testimony was needed to kill WH "a reporter did it" spin. |
|
I think that Fitgerald just wanted to put a big huge road block in front of that line of defense.

3. Agreed. But the trials will make a good lead-up to 2006 campaign season. |

Don't you think?

4. no way. He is too much of a pro. |
|
I understand the question, but, we have some here who question his professionalism and the fact that he was appointed by the GOP. At the other extreme, people wonder if hd is playing games for maximum impact.
NEITHER OF THE ABOVE.
He is a pro, he is working up a serious case, and the facts make the case, as applied to the law.

6. These things take time. |
|
This is a very large investigation with tentacles reaching all over. One does not jump the gun on these things. In Watergate, the grand jury didn't hand down indictments until March 1, 1974, almost two years after the break-in. That was with a cooperative legislative branch and press.
In the current political environment the situation is entirely different today. With no help from congressional hearings and without any help from the press, Fitz has been totally on his own. In fact, Congress and the press have been actually impeding the investigations by their total lack of willingness to broach the subject. It's like a cone of silence is covering the nation.
Fitz and the grand jury need our help here, and our patience.
