Fitzgerald Doesn’t Want to Talk about Armitage

I bet he doesn’t. And just when is the investigation of Fitzgerald for Prosecutorial Misconduct going to be announced? Millions of tax-payer dollars spent as Fitzgerald continued to “investigate” something he had the answer to within a few days of opening the inquiry in the first place. Remarkable.

Without ever mentioning him by name, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald, in a court filing Monday, argues that a jury in the CIA/Leak trial should not consider evidence concerning why he did not charge former State Department official Richard Armitage with leaking Valerie Plame’s name to reporters. It is a crime to intentionally disclose the name of a classified CIA operative…

Early in the inquiry, Armitage told authorities he was Novak’s source. Armitage said Fitzgerald asked him to not to say that publicly. Fitzgerald then pressed on with the investigation, questioning White House aides. Among them was top Bush adviser Karl Rove, who appeared five times before a grand jury before being cleared of wrongdoing this summer.

“Early in the inquiry, Armitage told authorities he was Novak’s source. Armitage said Fitzgerald asked him to not to say that publicly.”

This is demented and outrageous: as a prosecutor myself, I find what Fitzgerald’s doing personally offensive. He should be disbarred.

lawyers like Fitzgerald, and Duke Lacrosse rape case Nifong should be disbarred.

Since courts won’t act until there is a complaint, has anybody made a complaint to the Illinois Bar about Fitzgerald’s apparently frauduleant use of government time, resources, and money?
