Fitzgerald must make people like you shake in your booties…

Fitzgerald's tendency to invoke the laws against lying comes from two things, colleagues say: the particular way he uses grand jury testimony when he conducts an investigation, and his deep-seated aversion to being lied to.

He uses the grand jury as an apparatus to seek the truth. When people are not truthful … he believes those people should be punished."

The perjury rap was "like using tax prosecutions for Al Capone," said Matthew Piers, a Chicago lawyer who represented a defendant Fitzgerald prosecuted for perjury after an investigation into possible terrorism.


A lot of people felt that way about the bill Clinton conviction as well.
