It was indicated, however, that PATRICK Fitzgerald was a Republican when he was splashed across all of the papers at the beginning of this thing. There is no party affiliation as related to voter's registration in Illinois, which I think is his official residence as he IS employed in an official capacity here. You guys really play with the sematics. no–not at all.

According to the Washington Post, he registered to vote without party affiliation in both New York and Illinois. Therefore, Patrick Fitzgerald is not registered to vote in Illinois as a Republican OR a Democrat. He may have changed his status to unaffiliated. Perhaps you're confusing him with Peter Fitzgerald (no relation), former Republican senator from Illinois? Heck, I will even trust Huffington Post on that before you:

Seriously. Do you understand that someone claimed that Fitzgerald gave “NO QUARTER” to Karl Rove? That means Rove would have been charged regardless of obstruction of justice. Criminal conspiracy, most likely. But, keep in mind, this is just about Karl Rove. Established DoJ policy would have precluded indicting a sitting President or Vice President in any event. Even I know that without attending law school. P.S. to “Moderation”:

If he truly believed that Valerie Plame was covert (and it looks like he did) and he had confessions from several administration officials, including Karl Rove, that they had outed her, then why in hell didn't he try any of them for treason. One has to remember that Fitzgerald is a RepubliCON appointed by Bush. I believe that the Bush Crime Family either has something on him or made him an offer he couldn't refuse to go after Libby only. They couldn't get away with whitewashing the whole thing, so they chose Libby as their sacrificial lamb. I still say that the fix was in with Fitzgerald.
