Getting to Rove through Libby

murray waas throws a bit more weight behind what many of us have suspected...

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald delayed a decision on whether to seek criminal charges against Karl Rove in large part because he wants to determine whether Lewis (Scooter) Libby, the former chief of staff to Vice President Cheney, can provide information on Rove's role in the CIA leak case, according to attorneys involved in the investigation.

patient... methodical... devastatingly thorough... completely professional... and not a partisan bone in his body...

Katy Harriger, a professor of political science at Wake Forest University, who has authored two books on special prosecutors, says that Fitzgerald's open-ended case on Rove is no different from what any ordinary prosecutor would do with any defendant. "It is fairly routine that you are not going to be clearing someone until you hear from a central witness, even if it means [that it takes you] two years to clear your other case before you hear them."

beginning with the press conference, patrick fitzgerald immediately moved to the top of my present-day list of heroes... yeah, i wish he was moving faster but i would much rather he do his job accurately and well...
