Waxman and Fitzgerald's gameplan.

Last night a little shiver went through the threads in reaction to the letter sent by Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald to the Honorable Henry Waxman, Chairman of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. Apparently, there was some confusion stemming from Chairman Waxman's letter of March 8th(PDF) inviting PatFitz to come in for a chat and people thought that meant Fitz was going to testify tomorrow.

No, my little chickadees, that's not how it works.

You see, our big guy is a real honest to gosh professional prosecutor. That means he is hemmed in by all sorts of restrictions on his conduct. Among those restrictions are two that deserve mention here and both form the underpinnings of the letter which Fitzgerald sent in reply to Chairman Waxman (PDF).

This is an excellent read. IMO, Fitz and Waxman are on this...BIGTIME!

1. Thank you for this...

I have faith that Fitz wants what's best for America. He knows the ins & outs of how to get the necessary work done.

I hope that it can be done with some alacrity.
