Patrick Fitzgerald Nixed Harkin Investigation

Fitzgerald's reluctance to pursue the Harkin Tapegate scandal stands in marked contrast to his conduct of the Leakgate investigation, where he's earned a reputation as an aggressive and creative prosecutor who has pushed the envelope and left no stone unturned.

He is obviously trying to payback the GOP for Ken Starr.

[God luvs America]

another double-standard the lib-MSM will never investigate.

---and of course, nothing is going on with Chuckiegate worthy of mention by our MSM, either---

"While no one has so far ascribed partisan motives to Fitzgerald for pressing his case long after determining that Plame's outing wasn't illegal, reports that he is a Republican turn out not to be true."


I quetion this article because of this one line - I have not seen any public indication that Fitzgerald has determine there was no outing.

I've determined that - but I have not seen any official ruling.

It does begin to look that way. I hope he understands that if he brings false or trivial charges against administration figures, while giving the real culprits, Wilson and his media pals, a free ride, he may be a momentary hero to the MSM but in the long term he will destroy his career.

The media pick people up and drop them at their convenience. Ask Jim Jeffords how much good all that free publicity is doing him now.

He is obviously trying to payback the GOP for Ken Starr.

I wonder if Fitzgerald realizes he is doing Al Qaeda's handy-work (along with the MSM). How does he sleep at night?

Expect the worst.

Prepare for the worst.

Get ready to fight.

Any indictment by some lib prosecutor is an attack on you and I.

Whether it's Limbaugh, Delay, Frist, Rove, or Libby, sleazball lib lawyers who threaten witnesses and push to embarrass conservatives in the courts rather than fight in the arena of ideas or at the ballot box, we must stand firm.

Vote with your feet on election day.

Vote with your remote when it comes to news.

Stand firm and fight.

Everyone talks about targets.

The target is each and every conservative who dares to be one.

[razorback-bert]

I feel like a democrat reading about Ken Starr.

[Mo1]

Hmmmm ... Harkin and his campaign were under an investigation ?? I don't remember hearing that before

Thanks for nothing MSM

[visualops]

I think he sees this case is much more glamorous- I'm sure he is well aware of how the left will fawn all over him should he manage to bring an indictment against Rove (who is most obviously the real target, not Libby).

[neutrality]

Fitzgerald is a liberal now?

Fitzgerald is Harriet Miers.

His actions will determine his label.

[rollo tomasi]

If Plame was not a covert agent all Fitzgerald had to do was say no laws were broken and millions of dollars plus people's reputations would have been saved.

I guess DC is just operating the way that the American voters programed it to do, waste a lot of money and ruin a lot of reputations.

[wagglebee]

There's no question that Karl Rove is the target, the left views Rove as the greatest threat to liberalism.

On the other hand, almost nobody even knew who Scooter Libby was until a few weeks ago.

[Eagles Talon IV]

The key is the vote. First comes the primary process and here we want to nominate the Rep whose ideals and beliefs most closely mirror ours. But we need to vote Republican even if the candidate is not a rock solid conservative in every area. Work to change him. Letters, phone calls, whatever it takes to make him what we want him to be. Most importantly we must put them in office because a not so conservative Republican is still better then a Democrat of any kind.

[new yorker 77]

He may be trying to justify his existence.

We will find out soon if Fitzgerald is a Good Lawyer or a Good Democrat, because you can't be both.

[new yorker 77]

While at WAR, I vote Republican in the face of any liberal.

To do otherwise or to stay home would be the very definition of un-American.

[JLAGRAYFOX]

I agree one hundred percent. If Fitzgerald indicts Rove and Libby on less that ironclad and real charges, he will destroy himself overnight. He will also strengthen the conservative base of the Republican Party immensely. While the Democrats and the MSM will gloat from ear to ear, their pleasure will be fleeting at best. 2006 and 2008 will be a diaster for the Democrat party. Mr. Fitzgerald should be indicting Joe Wilson, Judith Miller and Matt Cooper for treason. These traitors along with Mr. Fitzgerald, if he indicts Libby and Rove, will be the direct cause of American military and civilians being put in further harms way, because the enemy will believe the Democrats are coming to power, and will be shouting for glee. The long term damage to the USA and the American people will be fatal, as the Democrat Party kisses up to the people that want to see America and Americans destroyed. Mr. Fitzgerald better open his eyes wide and look at the big picture!!! If he had any brains and loyalty to America, he would shut his investigation down, pack his bags and hunt another dog for his beloved "Traitor" Democrat Party. The true bottom line is: Mr. Libby and Mr. Rove did nothing wrong!!! End of story!!!
