4. Remember: Fitz is staying within "four corners" of indictment |
|
This means, that with further investigation, we may well indeed see further charges against Libby, on top of charges against other players.
Anyone who thinks there will not be charges directly concerning the leak itself may be prematurely placing a wet blanket on this affair.

perhaps only indicting Libby today Fitz gives the * admin a false sense of security that this is it - and then...
WHAM!
Probably wrong but a girl can dream

32. Patience, dear heart. That's partly because he's still working. |
|
Judge by the quality, not the quantity, of the output we've seen thus far. 5 counts on the VP's chief of staff isn't small potatoes.

I agree.
But how much further can or will he go?
I have read so much about all of the POSSIBILITIES of where this could lead -- the forged memo -- the whole thing -- but they remain simply that.... possibilities.
I'm happy, but I am kind of wiggly in the middle. I'd like to see the Augean stables cleaned out, top to bottom.

That perjury/obstruction isn't what he was tasked to do.

12. The reporters are doing far better than I expected and Fitz is correct |
|
to play it so close to the vest.
I realize it is frustrating, but...
The reporters are asking questions that Fitz can't answer. Legally can't answer. That isn't because they are out of practice, they are asking questions they know their readers/listeners want answered. They are putting questions out there for people to ponder. Which is a very good thing!
Fitzgerald is doing the appropriate thing by staying strictly within his jurisdiction and responsibility. By refraining from extraneous comments he avoids accusations of political motives.
The unanswerable questions and non-answers are exactly what we want to hear.

22. Yep, plus as an added political benefit, |

it means no cable news bloviating speculation is beyond bounds. It's what they do best, and Bush is going to hear it for two years.

Talking about how serious these charges really are. Mostly we learned about the tone of the investigation. "Serious serious serious."

It is clearly not over but Fitz definitely said that "most of the work is done." To me that means that he's just going to be wrapping up.

47. think of it as a software project. The first 90% takes 90% of the time. |

The remaining 10% also takes 90% of the time. Never done on schedule. ;-)
