Fitzgeral batting .042! All he got out of the Valerie Plame BS was Scooter Libby! What a useless piece of Obama!

It’s the only conviction Patrick Fits Gerald can get.
He’s a fraud.

In my opinion, there are serious questions about his guilt. Maybe he was the fall guy.

Fitzie will now offer a “if you don’t appeal; we will not retry” deal.

The FBI incompetents generally use the “you lied to us” as a trap.

A weak case, intertwined defendants, confusing jury instructions, and “over-selling” the circumstances of the arrest (crime spree) overlayed by the fact the two real principals in the case (Emanual & Rezko) were MIA = odd verdict. Not surprised....it is “politics as usual” in Illinois. Fitz needs to go. He has been held up as such a great prosecutor, and he seems to fall on his face more often than not. One thing is for sure, I think I heard a loud sigh of relief from the White Crib.

Can you imagine if every politician that has lied was put into prison? We’d have to fence of Texas to hold them all!

Ridiculous waste of tax-payer money so Obama can cover his rear-end and Fitz can get another wilted feather in his cap.

One “GUILTY”, 23 hung and Fitzgerald still wants to re-try him?

What a waste of taxpayers money...

There’s NO doubt Fitzie will retry.
His pride and ego are sorely wounded
today .. especially after his drama
queen, over the top presser at the
indictment.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kuO5oUMJfTc

But the defense will also get to call
Rezko, Emanuel, Jarrett, SEIU Tom
Balanoff, maybe -0 and other IL/Chicago
thug/union elements, etc. whom they might
think is wise next time to illustrate
the true raw and rotten underbelly of IL
politics and the pay to play system embedded
there.

THE BIG FISH WERE TOTALLY EXCLUDED
from this trial .. it was a complete
farce.

Next hearing will be Aug. 26.

The US Govt wins probably nearly 99% of the
time, but NOT this time. HUGE fantastical,
Elliot Ness wannabe, imprudent performance.

Chief prosecutor says ‘we’re ready go.’

Where’s Obama funder and friend, TONY REZKO ???

LOL .. too rich for words.

One would think they would learn. Never, ever talk to the police for any reason unless you are pointing out the direction of a fleeing felon. Stupid people talk to the police. Scooter Libbey must have had some reason - he knows better.

You bet he was a fall guy. The feds jumped the gun on this one to protect Obama, Jackson Jr., and emmanuel. Politics as usual in Illinois.

Would love to hear the reaction from the White House.
