Is there more? What about "sealed vs. sealed"? Will Libby flip?
[Fitzgerald] said that there were no regrets about prosecuting the charges, and he described the trial as necessary because Libby told lies in the course of an important investigation.
"We could not walk away from that, it is inconceivable any prosecutor could walk away from that," he said.
He later added, "We cannot tolerate perjury...if you don't tell the truth, we cannot make the judicial system work."
no, we can't tolerate it... and, no, we shouldn't ever be forced to have to deal with perjury committed by the officials to whom we have delegated our trust...
so, is there more to come...?
"I do not expect to file any further charges, the investigation was inactive prior to the trial," the Chicago-based federal attorney who led the prosecution said. "We're all going back to our day jobs."
However, Fitzgerald did concede "If new information comes to light, of course we'll do that."
what about "sealed vs. sealed...?"
Another reporter asked whether or not the prosecution would turn over sealed files from the grand jury investigation to a Congressional investigation. Fitzgerald gave a measured answer.
"If Congress does something or not, we are not going to predict that," he said. "We will do what's appropriate."
will fitz try to get libby to flip...?
A reporter prompted Fitzgerald on whether he would scale down his recommendations for a sentence if Libby were to offer more information to the prosecution that wasn't previously known.
"They can contact us," Fitzgerald responded of Libby and his attorneys.
