Fitz states investigation is officially over--(inactive)

[dogday]

There are no more pending cases, but if something comes to light, he won't hesitate to prosecute....

[itsmesgd]

1. If Libby should flip and come out with some info, he'll start back up

[dogday]

You know he opens the door for that possibility... eom

[crispini]

7. "If Libby and his lawyers want to pursue any other options they can contact us."

haha. Interesting.

[BuyingThyme]

2. Insanity.

[dubyaD40web]

3. Damn!

Come on Fitz!

[zanne]

4. So the Plame leak will never be investigated.

And Libby's lawyers will put off sentencing until Bush can pardon him. It's always a good show, and that's about all.

[Genealogist]

25. Plame leak

And I distinctly remember Bush saying that whoever leaked her name would be punished!!!! ... This is from someone who professes to be a Christian ... and one of the commandments is "Thou shall not lie...." Someone asked me if Bush was such an idiot, how did he get re-elected...and this was from someone who voted for him...duh....

[KittyWampus]

35. The Plame Leak should be investigated by Congress. So to say it 'will never be' is premature

especially since new developments may occur.

[Connie_Corleone]

5. The Democrats in Congress needs to go after Cheney.

They have to take over now.

[Robbien]

10. Yeah right

Don't hold your breath waiting for them.

[chelsea0011]

6. Unlike Ken Starr, he won't be running up a bill unless something else

comes forth.

[Jacobin]

11. I think the evidence from this trial

opens up lots of lying by Cheney, does it not?

Must we worship Fitzgerald, instead of holding him up to standards of mortal men?

[cui bono]

24. Fitz isn't an Independent Counsel so I don't think he has that option anyway.

[Jacobin]

8. He's satisfied with one scape goat?

:thumbsdown:

I'm not

[Cerridwen]

9. Inactive - not over

He made a point to say inactive.

[dogday]

13. True he did say inactive, and he left the door open

that in the future he could pursue more if evidence comes to light....

Will edit it for accuracy...

[Crabby Appleton]

23. and that they're all going back to their day jobs

[ChairmanAgnostic]

12. he also said if the defense lawyers have a proposal

he will listen, as always.

That could open a whole can of skinky, smelly, festering, dead, rotting, worms.

[global1]

14. Fitz Really Didn't Say Officially Over - He Said 'Inactive'.......

I think he left the possibility to reopen. Hope Scooter sings and I hope that the Dems in both the Senate and the House open investigations now. Hope Cheney is lawyered up. Not.

[myrna minx]

21. He also stated that he would cooperate with Congress if there

was any need for that. I want to know if he a adjourning his Grand Jury.

[Garbo 2004]

26. It's a regular grand jury, not a special grand jury, it serves until its term is up. n/t

[myrna minx]

27. Thanks. I was mistaken. n/t

[riderinthestorm]

15. The Wilsons civil case is ready to blow, don't forget that.

There is going to be a slew of more information "coming to light" in the months ahead.

Besides, I believe Mr. Libby is going to provide Fitz with some more things coming into the "light" as well.

[berni_mccoy]

16. He's putting up a smoke screen

I doubt it's over. It's going on and others will be punished for their treachery to the U.S.

[dogday]

17. Just said Plame's relationship with CIA was classified

on it's face of the original indictment...

[GOTV]

18. What's the point of announcing that the investigation is "inactive"?

What does that mean legally?

[Mrspeeker]

19. Really cause I can come up with a bunch of other cases!

Of course he wont be assigned to them, the show is over pack your bags and the checks in the mail!
Way to go, we needed a fall guy and we got it, now the American public can think they have a functioning democracy again, and the fat cats stay fat...Fucking Sweet

[dogday]

20. He left the door open for any evidence that might

come to light to be prosecuted....

[GOTV]

28. And what are the odds that an "inactive" investigation brings new evidence to light?

I think this is over.

Scooter is all we're getting and he's not even guilty of the leak.

[emulatorloo]

30. depends if Scooter (or anybody else) brings in new information

EOM

[Mrspeeker]

32. This was all just another show

When brought to light, its what it is

[emulatorloo]

36. IMHO at lot depends on Mrs. Libby -- I get the feeling she is pretty upset

and if I were her I would not want my husband to take the fall for Dick Cheney.

[dogday]

37. It is the Assistant to the VP of the US breaking the law?

It is the jury thought he was the fall guy for Cheney? That is what it is....

[leftofthedial]

22. the repuke plan worked again

by this time next week, the MSM will be telling us how the Libby conviction PROVES that the bush cabal is innocent of outing Plame

[emulatorloo]

29. He qualified the statement -- no new charges unless they receive new information EOM

[dogday]

31. Does he know something we don't?

He infers and opens the door to new evidence coming to light, like there is more than we can see... Makes you think...

[Emit]

33. Key words -- if Congress requests an investigation... n/t

[ncrainbowgrrl]

34. Actually- it said that that THIS investigation is over.

That doesn't mean that any OTHER investigations are over.

Like those of anyone else- say someone who convieniently happens to have a blood clot
