They being Fitzgerald?
The prosecutor who went tooth and nail after Bush and Cheney and Libby?
And Bush can just call an independent prosecuter and tell him to hold off?
Are you missing a /sarc tag?
No, I agree that Fitzgerald probably is a partisan Dem. But it is obvious that Bush in particular and the GOP in general felt it would violate their “gentleman’s agreement” if they revealed anything about Obambi - such as his corruption, his associates, doubts about his citizenship, and even his middle name - and they conducted a campaign that shied away from all the unsavory things about the annointed Great Leader.
The details in this case must have been known earlier, but I would suspect that Fitzgerald - who is partisan but also wants to get his man - was told to wait until “the people had decided.” And now it’s almost too late.
