LIBBY WAS JUST AN APPETIZER. CHEF FITZGERALD WONT SERVE THE MAIN COURSE UNTIL FEBRUARY 2009.

Fitzgerald doesn't have to rush this prosecution. He's putting them on slow boil and come January 2009, Bush will lose his pardon power. Libby was indicted in October 2005, but the trial ends in Feb 2007. Extrapolate that 16 month timeline to future indictments and you'll start to see who the top chef really is.

Alot more information came out during this trial under oath. The sand thrown in Fitzgerald's eyes is being washed away. The next round of indictments may be coming, but there's no rush to judgment. Let the man do his job slowly and thoroughly. Let all the flavors steep into the stew.

Fitzgerald has spent so much less of the taxpayers' money than many recent Special Counsels (or Independent Counsels) while still managing to do a very efficient job as US Attorney. They have nothing on this guy. He was appointed by the Bush administration.

When the Bush cabal gets desperate as the noose tightens and the calendar brings the shadow of January 2009 closer, they may try to fire Fitz. But see my previous article on Fitzgerald wearing two hats. Bush can easily fire Fitz as the US Attorney for the District in which he presides, but Fitzgerald also wears the hat of "Special Prosecutor" investigating the Bush administration.

Trying to remove that hat will be a much different legal and political animal.

Should Fitz obtain prosecutions for Espionage after Bush is out of office, will the next (democratic?) resident of the White House offer to go down in history as the only Preseident ever to pardon Espionage?

The plot thickens. Be patient.

FITZ!
