I think you are whistling past the graveyard, Tom. Fitz isn't done and it should be interesting to see why he is now moving in the direction he is moving...Time will tell. I know you somehow consider yourself expert on this entire matter (why, I can't guess), but you still have not answered why this new unindentified source did not go to Fitzgerald sooner? To say the conversation was "casual" just doesn't cut it. If it was casual, it could have been even more important because it went right to the heart of the defense - "everyone knew". Casualness doesn't allow someone to decide it is not relevant. It could be MORE relevant. And they held out against the instructions of their boss, the President No, whoever Mr. or Ms. new person is made a concious decision not to go to the prosecutor with useful information. They talked to someone about relevant matters in June 2003. Couldn't be more relevant. I think Fitz is not going to stand around and now have people who decided on their own volition that something really didn't need to be revealed earlier start coming forth and tossing out tidbit by tidbit little morsels of information. He is an agent of the court and he is going to exercise his authorities. Unlike you, I've actually prosecuted cases. I think the announcement today should send chills down the spines of officials in the White House who didn't follow the President's instructions to cooperate fully. And, of course, none of us, none of us, know everything that went on for the past two years. Maybe this "tidbit" closes some other loop in Fitzgerald's case. We will have to wait and see. By the way...do you ever change your mind based on new information or are you just lockstep with GWB, Mike Brown, Harriet Miers come hell or high water? Do you not see any irony in your quote as regard yourself: "The hopelessly entrenched are doomed never to learn from their mistakes." I'll make you a little bet...Fitz is a long way from done and there will be more for the White House to fret about in the months to come.
