39. When a NY democrat
sent Mr. Fitzgerald a letter, requesting that he provide congress with information from his investigation, he responded that there are two areas: first, the information that was already made public in the Libby trial, which congress has access to; and second, the information not made public -- which includes the investigation of people other than Libby, including Cheney -- which Mr. Fitzgerald does not have the legal authority to release. Congress has requested the DoJ release the information, and they refuse.

To get the complete FBI/grand jury investigation results, congress has one sure option: initiate impeachment, and a federal court will follow the well-established case law, and order the DoJ to turn the information over to congress.

Keep in mind that article #2 of the Nixon impeachment (never completed, due to his resignation) was based fully on his abusing the power of his office. This is exactly what Mr. Fitzgerald was speaking of when he said that there is a cloud over the office of the vice president, and asking if the public was not entitled to the truth?
