Sen. Schumer says they are thinking of calling Patrick Fitzgerald in for questioning

While talking about the Scooter Libby commutation on Face the Nation, Sen. Schumer said he talked to Pat Leahy about calling Patrick Fitzgerald in for questioning about Bush and Cheney because they didn’t talk to him in the grand jury setting about the Plame/CIA leak. All legal scholars weigh in please. Can he call Fitz since Bush/Cheney weren’t under oath?

Schumer: I’ve spoken to Sen. Leahy about this and what we’re thinking of doing is calling Patrick Fitzgerald—the prosecutor before us….and he might have some very interesting things to say.

1. They should have called him in the day after Libby's commutation.

3. YES!

Call in Fitzgerald. I am sure he wants to talk about this. I bet he's bursting at the seams to talk about that private meeting that wasn't under oath and wasn't in front of the Grand Jury.

Let's air that laundry. How's your schedule Monday look for you Fitz?

4. The best part of the "meeting"

>that private meeting that wasn't under oath and wasn't in front of the Grand Jury.<

Bush and Cheney insisted that they not be under oath. IIRC, they also insisted on being in the same room together for questioning. What they did not realize is that any statement made to a federal prosecutor while he or she is conducting an investigation is considered "under oath".

Maybe we're looking at more perjury charges, hm?

5. Democrats have gotten good at "thinking of" and "planning to ", haven't they?

Certainly this merits a few more recs?????

8. In responding Fitz would have to 'fish or cut bait' --would be a worthwhile endeavor...n/t
