Reply #30: I've Seen This Man Up Close...At Work

[KharmaTrain]

In 2000 I served on a Federal Jury...a straw gun buyer case which Fitz was handling. Here was a man who looked you in the eye, spoke it straight. He said that his responsibility isn't to bring a prosecution unless he is fully convinced the prosecution will end up with a conviction...that there's more than enough evidence to surpass reasonable doubt. He runs an extremely professional department that has gone after Democrats and repugnicans...those deserving and have broken the law.

Sorry, no free passes just cause someone has a (D) after their name...especially someone who has demonstrated the same arrogance and hubris along with the corruption we're seeing play out here.

So he wasn't aggressive enough in the Plame case? And you could have done better? That he could have indicted Rove and gotten a conviction? Even worse, how about a half-ass prosecution that would have led to an acquittal...or even better, boooshie pardons Rove and helps him avoid not just this prosecution but other ones.

If Obama regrets renaming him, it's because Obama fucked up...and if anything I see Obama encouraging Fitzgerald to get to the bottom of this latest mess.

In the end, it's not what Fitzgerald says that matters, it's what 12 jurors do, be it a Grand Jury or Trial jury...and the case put in front of them.
