BREAKING: FITZGERALD CANCELLED GRAND JURY MEETING TO GO AFTER LORD BLACK
Edited on Thu Dec-15-05 06:30 PM by Halliburton
<snip>
As of Tuesday evening, Fitzgerald had intended to meet with the grand jury Wednesday, but on early Wednesday morning, Fitzgerald received word from his staff at his Chicago office that he was needed to deal with the Conrad Black case, attorneys familiar with the case said. In addition to serving as a Special Prosecutor in Washington, he remains the U.S. Attorney for Northern Illinois.

<snip>
Late Tuesday evening, RAW STORY received word from two attorneys close to the CIA leak case that Patrick Fitzgerald intended to meet with the grand jury Wednesday morning to present the recently obtained sworn testimony from Robert Luskin, Karl Rove's attorney, and Time magazine reporter Viveca Novak. Attorneys say Fitzgerald still intends to brief the grand jury on these matters.

2. Can you imagine...........
........ what life is like for Patrick Fitzgerald?

He's good, but he has to have the most spectacular - and trustworthy - staff working for him here and in Chicago. Never in my life have I known of any prosecutor so laden with HUGH cases, doing such an exemplary job.

He's a hero.

3. Meanwhile, his team is also prosecuting former Gov. Ryan
while investigating Mayor Daley (and taking down his cronies one by one) and the present (Dem) governor.

9. I hope Fitzgerald stay well and healthy. Now that Black
is about seven eighth's history. I hope Fitzgerald can devote the time to go after junior and his crime cabal, full steam a head.

23. Oh I agree
Imagine what it would be like if he did have a wife and kids. My dad works a lot and he's just an engineer. I couldn't imagine having a husband or father who is a big time attorney like he is. Wow.

I'm not sure, but there's a shiny $20 bill that says he's going to Starbucks sometime in the next 48 hours. :evilgrin:

Annces, welcome to our membership! We have a meeting coming up. Two topics: "Superman or Dragon Slayer?" and "CIA Leak Case Explained In Baseball Analogies".

I think Beausoir is in charge of refreshments. :evilgrin: Cat_girl is in charge of the slide show. FreedomAngel will be her usual sweet self ;-). I'll lead the meeting.

See you there!

14. Being a Canadian who despises Black as much as I despise
Bush and his cabal, I can only be VERY thankful it is Patrick Fitzgerald leading the investigation into the scumbag Black's criminal enterprise! It was a bonus Fitzmas gift to see him add RICO charges today, could happen to a more appropriate vomit-inducing maggot (Black), imo.

17. CRAP! - So Now Rove Probably Makes It Through The Holidays
They're certainly going to take a couple of weeks off for the holidays, so there might not be enough time to indict him this year. Scumbag should not be in his position.

18. I like Fitz's crummy wrinkled schoolboy shirt collar. It shows he's
a serious bloke, and not a dandy.

22. Hope Fitz Comes Back Before Dec. 31th....
Is everyone certain they're really trying to keep him busy elsewhere, to divert him from the Fritzmas?

25. You would think
the executive branch of government involved in espionage against the US and the unprecedented implications would remain the front and center case.
