In Chicago, Mr. Fitzgerald has been relentless and aggressive. So far, he's garnered 19 guilty pleas in a probe of Daley administration corruption that dates to 2003.

And the trial of former Gov. Ryan is scheduled to start in September, the highest-profile case in Operation Safe Road that already has netted 73 convictions with no acquittals.

1. I told you Fitz was good!

I sure hate to thank Ashcroft for ANYTHING, but THANKS John, for appointing Fitz to the Plame investigation. Even though we know you didn't mean to.

3. Ashcroft didn't make the appointment. He recused himself,

leaving Comey to appoint someone. "Someone" turned out to be Fitz. Just goes to show how all hell can break loose when you delegate something.

8. But Comey gave Fitzgerald a narrow scope. It was understood that

if Fitzgerald exceeded his scope, he could be fired.

Now, Comey is resigning. What is up with that?

5. Ashie didn't appoint Fitz...

He had to recuse himself. John's deputy (Come?) appointed Fitzgerald, who was the deputy's friend. And now the deputy has given a letter of resignation.

Summer TV is about to get a lot better, just like it did in 1974.

9. Yea, and so are the conversations on DU!

I LOVE DU, and I spend WAY too much time here, but sometimes, when nothing major is happening, things get a little weird. It's been busteling for over a week now, and I'm sure it's going to get a lot hotter!!!!

I just bought a case of beer and some popcorn. LET'S DO IT!

7. If I had this man after me, I'd have nightmares every night

Especially if I was GUILTY! I should send a jpg of Fitzgerald to Rove and Libby every day, to help them visualize their futures. :evilgrin:
