Waxman takes Fitz up on his offer

fitz dropped a little hint after the reading of the libby verdict...

[A] 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."

waxman was obviously paying attention cuz he didn't waste any time...

"Congress has a responsibility to examine the policy and accountability questions that your investigation has raised. As a result of your investigation, you have a singular understanding of the facts and their implications that bear directly on the issues before Congress," Waxman wrote.

He then asked Fitzgerald to meet with him and Rep. Tom Davis (R-VA), the ranking minority member of the committee, to "discuss the possibility of testifying before the Committee and other means by which you can inform the Committee about your views and the insights you obtained during the course of your investigation."

maybe this is when we get to find out about "sealed vs. sealed...?"
