Dissing Fitzgerald & Prosecutorial Politics
By Robert Parry
November 24, 2005

"When special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald’s investigation into the outing of covert CIA officer Valerie Plame is debated on TV, one of Fitzgerald’s fiercest critics has been Joseph diGenova, who is described as a former independent counsel himself.

At times diGenova has been remarkably strident, sounding more like an angry defense attorney for George W. Bush’s White House than someone who could have plausibly worn the title “independent” when he investigated an alleged abuse of government power by George H.W. Bush’s administration a dozen years ago."

This is the lawyer who's a regular on Sean Hannity and Laura Ingraham's radio shows and is on the board of the Heritage Foundation's Benghazi Accountability Coalition. The Coalition called for President Obama's impeachment.
Both him and his wife,right wing lawyer Victoria Toensing ,were responsible for making sure Ken Starr got leaked the information he wanted leaked and had a very,very close relationship with Starr.



Here's an interesting article about their legacy of dirty tricks and known lies:

Right wingers to the core,involved in GWB's administration up to their elbows and used right here on DU as a source because of their deep hatred of the Clintons.

There is nothing about promoting right wing sources that is contrary with their mission to destroy the Democratic Party.

This OP posted earlier today was about the same c-span program.

I guess even esteemed journalists don't have a clue when it comes to Joe and Victoria. At least she had the good sense to delete it once called on it.

We are being gaslighted these days. No one will acknowledge that they rec’d up DiGenova. I am being told it never happened. The Fox News “progressive” bullshit is not going to work on DU in 2020 as far as I am concerned.
