Palate cleanser: Fitzgerald to stay on as US Attorney.


An adequately sensible decision on this administration's part.

Well, this cheers me up after the last story.  Via Hot Air Headlines:

Blago, Libby prosecutor to stay on

Patrick Fitzgerald, the U.S. attorney in Chicago who brought criminal fraud charges against Rod Blagojevich, will be staying in his job in the Obama administration, even though he was appointed to the position by President George W. Bush.

[snip]

But Fitzgerald will not be asked to move on. Sen. Dick Durbin of Illinois has recommended that Eric Holder, the new attorney general, keep Fitzgerald. That suggestion was “positively received,” according to officials at the Justice Department and Sen. Durbin’s office.

Mind you, failure to do this at least would have been… remarked upon.

Wow. Let's hope Mr. Fitzgerald paid his taxes.

Heck of a thought, eh ?
I don’t know if I’m trying to be funny here either.

Think he’s gonna be set up ?
After all, he did the legal nasty to The One’s Guvn’r.

The things you think of when it comes to the world’s worst profession (politics).

Mike Rowe would do a “Dirty Jobs” segment on politics, but there isn’t enough hand sanitizer or body wash on the planet to get him cleaned after the show.

This is Good News?

I don’t think so. I think that he covered for Obama and Emanuel by prematurely sacrificing Blogie. After what he did to Scooter Libby when he knew who really leaked the name, the only place I want to see this one go is a federal prison. Creating a crime to please the liberal press is tyranny.

Don’t believe this is a good man or this is good news. He looked out for himself and not for the country.

Fitz didn't make Libby commit perjury. He didn't create that. (nt)

and sooner or later you will say something which can be construed as perjury. Have you ever, ever testified under oath in a court case? Or sat for a deposition with a poorly briefed Deputy City Attorney at your side against sixty very highly paid union lawyers/

The bastard was supposed to find out who “outed” someone whose neighbors already knew that she worked for the CIA. He knew that before he started to question Libby, so just what in the HELL do you think he was doing? And why?

when leveraged unfearing upon equal pride might just be the character cowboy that we need.
