- Fitzgerald may be called to testify about Libby case
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  Leahy added that this was "a blatant way of guaranteeing that Scooter Libby would not talk about the things that were done, you know, some of the misleading information given out by Vice President Cheney and the president. They led us into this war in Iraq, and they bought his silence. I can understand why the prosecutor was so angry about it."

- Bush commuted Libby sentence without consulting Justice Department, Fitzgerald
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  "For the first time in his presidency, Bush made a decision to commute a sentence without going through a process of running requests through lawyers at the Justice Department," the Post alleged. "He also did not ask the chief prosecutor in the case, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, for his input, as routinely happens in cases routed through the Justice Department's pardon attorney."

- Fitzgerald Says Plame Was a Covert Agent
  Posted by Jeff from Feeds.feedburner
  In new court filings, Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald has finally resolved one of the most disputed issues at the core of the long-running CIA leak controversy: Valerie Plame Wilson, he asserts, was a "covert" CIA officer. Fitzgerald cites Wilson's covert status as part of his argument, advanced in two strongly worded memos filed in recent days, that I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, should be sentenced for up to three years in prison.

- Fitzgerald: No further investigation planned
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  Fitzgerald's comments on the rights of reporters and confidential sources are important to note: "What was unique about this case...the reporters involved were not just getting whistleblower tips, it was not whistleblowing, they were not reporting something that otherwise would not have been heard, they were potential eyewitnesses to a crime," he explained.

- Shuster: 'Prosecutors still looking for ways to pursue Cheney'
  Posted by Jeff from Rawstory
  Unless the Judge sentences Libby immediately, sends him to prison pending appeal...he'll just wait for Bush to pardon him in two years and serve no time. Unless Fitzgerald can get Libby to spend days behind bars, he's not going to have much to get him to flip. But good luck to him...
