Fitzgerald news on AAR

[FreedomAngel82]

The rumor of S&B guy replacing his boss isn't too big of a deal. According to someone who's speaking on "Majority Report" the public pressure and news paper editorals really have an impact and keep them on their toes. They're not as independent on public opinion. Fitzgerald is on a modle of his own and he's very independent. Tune in now if you want to hear more. :)

1. I Wonder if This Was Done Intentionally

by his boss.

Could it have been a move to diffuse any potential bad PR of Fitz and his boss being close and personal?

Or could this be a Fly Trap for Administration?

TREASONGATE: The US Attorney General's Office AND President Bush Have NO LEGAL AUTHORITY To Remove Patrick Fitzgerald As Special Counsel
The Attorney General, Acting Attorney General or any other officer of the Department of Justice has NO LEGAL AUTHORITY to remove Special Counsel Fitzgerald from the Treasongate investigation or prosecution-- AND -- President Bush does NOT have the legal authority to fire Patrick Fitzgerald in his capacity as "Special Counsel".

Analysis of federal law (involved with both the appointment of -- and authority granted to -- Special Counsel Fitzgerald), Comey's press conference of December 30th, 2003, and Decision B-302582 (September 30, 2004) issued by the Government Accounting Office, leads to the following legal conclusions:

1. James Comey, in his capacity as Acting Attorney General, with respect to the Justice Department's investigation into "the alleged unauthorized disclosure of a CIA employee's identity" (hereinafter "Treasongate"), delegated his plenary authority to Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, pursuant to 28 U.S.C. 508, 509, 510, and 515, conferring upon him "all of the authority of the Attorney General" thereby transferring his status as Acting Attorney General, in this matter, to Fitzgerald."

3. I hope they can't get rid of him

Do you think they would've gotten rid of him sooner if they could?

[H2O Man]

4. Right.

Getting rid of Fitzgerald wouldn't change things now. It's way too late for that.

Things are good.

5. or y did'nt they get rid of Fitzie sooner?

I am trying to decipher the CS stuff which is a study unto itself but macullum cannot fire him .. so can't bushfraud..

CS says the law of the special counsel or whatever his exact title is states Fitzie has to stay and even bush is not above the law.
.My spin is poppy o gets the S&B mccollum in there to do damage control and impede it as much as legally and of course otherwise possible..


DUNNO??
