Why does the stinking media think they need answers during an on going Federal case
If your called to answer questions in a Federal case or you think you are the scope of the investigation the last thing you want to do is talk to ANYONE in the media. I saw Tweety's last show on Friday saying Emmanuel needs to talk to the press and stop being quite and this will continue to dog him until he answers questions. Who the hell do they think they are demanding someone answers questions in a Federal Investigation.

2. Journalists push for answers; it's their job.

3. I agree. While it may be the politically expedient thing to do, it may
not be possible, considering there hasn't been an indictment handed down as yet. The media wants things done at their 24/7 speed, but right now, it may not be something that they can give any details about.

5. It's not like they did this during the Plamegate case
Double standard. White president involved in outting a CIA agent, look the other way. Corrupt governor from the same state as the Black president, hound the black president for eternity.

7. Isn't it interesting how "closed lipped" ole Fitz's investigation was of RoveCo, yet leaks are being
reported about this prosecution every damn day.

Fitz reminds me of Neidermeyer from "Animal House." Serving his Masters within Opus Day and the Ruling Elite of the GOP.

8. For the same reason that we demanded answers during
the Valerie Plame exposure (Rovegate), Abu Graib, and every other Bush scandal that was under investigation.

We demanded answers. Why can't they?

9. They are just trying to make someone look bad so they can
manufacture a nontroversy.

The same when they hound the cops when there is a killer out there. Anything to make it harder for the cops to do the job and drag out and increase their chance to exploit the story.
