Most of us were led to believe that Fitz was going to wrap this up a year ago. So what happened? Why the delay?
My guess is that during the course of his investigation he uncovered something alot bigger than what he initially expected and needed more time and the testimony of Cooper and Miller to put a bow on it. What could this something be? First, I don't believe he really needs Miller to testify to Rove's involvement or perjury. He has that. I think he knows there is a conspiracy and he already has enough on her to tie her to it. He is going after much bigger fish. So there must be something only she can confirm that would help seal his case on officials at the highest level of the the government, perhaps even Chimpy and Dicky. Why? Because no judge would put a journalist in jail unless the information they were wihthholding was absolutely vital to proving a very very serious crime. Clearly whatever the crime or crimes Fitz is after falls in that category which means it has to be something much greater than perjury.
So that brings us to Cooper. We all know that he falls in a much different category than Judy, who is probably in this thing up to her eyeballs and trying to save her own ass as well as a whole bunch of other folks. So what did Coop have that Fitz needed? And why was he stonewalling the Grand Jury? Cooper must be an important link in corroborating the identity of all of the conspirators. It can't be just Rove that they are after. I think Fitz had Rove early on. After all he called him to testify before the Grand Jury three times. Coop knows something big and it goes beyond what is included in his emails and notes. That is why Fitz wants his testimony. I think Time knows this to and was hoping against hope they could get Coop some slack by appeasing Fitz with the emails and notes. Cooper is probably scared shitless because he knows something that could blow the doors open. And he probably fears retribution to himself and his family. So what does Cooper know? It must be big or the judge again would not have threatened to put him in the slammer. I think alot of what happens in this case may well hinge on not only what is included in his notes and the emails, but what he knows and what he tells the Grand Jury. If Fitz is the prosecutor I think he is, he probably has some kind of legal leverage against Cooper that might encourage him to sing like a canary. We shall soon see.
One thing appears certain - this case has dragged on because people very high up are deeply involved and are being protected. But just like any conspiracy (Watergate is a great example), once it starts to unravel the whole thing blows wide open. We won't have to wait much longer to see if this happens. There will be indictments - on whom and - for what, is now the sixty four million dollar question.
