Well, hubby says that all he can remember is the Fitzgerald was appointed by Clinton and worked as assistant U.S. Attorney under Mary Jo White, a rabid Democrat, and maybe he assumed he was also Democrat because of that.
Your source seems to be more believable.
Fitzgerald is careful to be apolitical in his targets and his public life alike. He registered to vote as an Independent in New York, only to discover, when he began receiving fundraising calls, that Independent was a political party. He re-registered with no affiliation, as he did later in Chicago.
He spit fire last year when reporters asked whether the racketeering indictment of Muhammad Hamid Khalil Salah, a fundraiser for the Islamic militant group Hamas, was timed to boost President Bush's reelection campaign. The case was trumpeted first by Attorney General John Ashcroft.
"I am not running for an election. I'm not part of a political party," Fitzgerald said at the time. "The election is irrelevant to this case. The reason we brought this case now is we're ready to proceed."

The article is DEFINITELY worth reading ..The Prosecutor Never Rests
I've read a lot about Patrick Fitzgerald and his character, and if someone committed a crime, whether God forbid in the White House or not, I feel pretty confident that he'll find out .. I just pray it's no one in the White House.
