Maybe a freeper can ferret it out for a scoop, LOL.
I'd like to know what Fitz is charging per hour for his own work. I'm not talking about the hundreds of thousands he's spending of taxpayers' money.....I'm talking about what HE is earning personally.
Also, how much is he paying his staff and what is the total so far. I'm talking about personal wages.
I'd also like to know the total so far for Fitz's personal expenses.....and for the personal expenses for his staff. Travel, hotels, meals, gasoline, car rentals, you name it....I'd like to see it.
This running legal account of Fitzgerald's is indeed a mystery in the sense no one is reporting on it. I hope some newshawk or newshen will go after it.

Does Patrick Fitzgerald Get Two Salaries?
He has two jobs.By Daniel Engber
Posted Friday, Oct. 28, 2005, at 6:12 PM ETThis afternoon, Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald announced the indictment of I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide. Fitzgerald also serves as a U.S. attorney based in Chicago, and his office is prosecuting the former governor of Illinois. Does Patrick Fitzgerald get two salaries?
No. In December of 2003, the U.S. Attorney General's Office appointed Fitzgerald to be the special prosecutor for the CIA leak case that led to today's indictment, but that doesn't mean he left his job as U.S. attorney. Since he was already on the government payroll--making $140,300 a year--he wasn't eligible to receive any more money for the additional work. To handle both jobs, Fitzgerald--or "Fitzie," as he's known to friends--shuttles to Washington, D.C., from the Windy City, where he spends most of his time.
Also, how much is he paying his staff and what is the total so far.
I'd also like to know the total so far for Fitz's personal expenses.....and for the personal expenses for his staff. Travel, hotels, meals, gasoline, car rentals, you name it....I'd like to see it.
A Tough Investigation Is Also Praised as NonpartisanFor breakdown, see GAO reports, for example ...By Peter Slevin and Carol D. Leonnig

Monday, October 24, 2005; A03Known for convicting Sheik Omar Abdel Rahman in the 1993 World Trade Center bombing and for compiling the first criminal indictment against Osama bin Laden, Fitzgerald is an Irish doorman's son who attended a Jesuit high school, then Amherst College -- where he was a Phi Beta Kappa mathematics and economics major -- and Harvard. ...
While supervising at least four lawyers and an FBI team in the leak case, Fitzgerald jetted between his downtown Chicago office and borrowed space at 1400 New York Ave. NW, not far from the courthouse where the grand jury meets most Wednesdays and Fridays. In its first 15 months, the investigation cost $723,000, according to the Government Accountability Office.
