Rest assured --while we all speculate, Fitz(special prosecutor)

[ncteechur]

knows that Plame was a cover NOC. He knows who had security clearance to what info. He knows what her job entailed. Has she had to testify as to the nature of her work? Has Wilson testified?

1. I would feel more assured if he hadn't been put there by

John Ashcroft's DoJ. :(

2. Was he a US attorney prior to Bushco?

3. Federal prosecutor in Chicago? I think. nt

4. I think he was appointed by Poppy.

I've also read that he ripped some Pub official completely apart last year or the year before. It was posted here on Du a few days ago. I think he takes his job very seriously and doesn't seem to be partisam.

It was Pub Gov. George Ryan that he brought down. Here's a link to the story.

Do a Google on Patrick Fitzgerald wins or Patrick Fitzgerald George Ryan and you'll see nothing but glowing praises for this prosecutor from all parties and all levels of the justice system.

If anyone can get this illegal crowd in the WH, it sure sounds like he the you want to do the job.

5. He's only 44 now.

He would have been 21 at the oldest when he was appointed by Poppy Bush.

Doesn't seem likely.

6. Check my edited post. I put a link to one article on him. n/t

7. I read that Rove did not have security clearance

to know of Plame's status. Is that correct?

[napi21]

8. I don't know. I never read that. I would think it was not true because

a bunch of Dems have been screaming for Rove's Security Clearance to be suspended. Why would they want it suspended if he didn't have a high one already?

9. Rove got a promotion

this year. Last year he was a personal advisor to Bush.

10. You may be right that his clearance was increased with the promo

I just don't know. I've heard several talking heads on cable news ask what clearance level Rove had, and no one seemed to know.

I'm sure Fitz knows! We'll just have to wait and see.
