The Man Who Could Rock the Bush Administration
Colleagues Call Patrick Fitzgerald The 'Perfect Man' For the Job

Oct. 27, 2005— Patrick Fitzgerald's team worked late into the night after spending three hours before a grand jury that has the power to hand up indictments in the CIA leak probe that could rock the Bush administration. Those who know Fitzgerald best, predict those indictments are imminent.

"He would have shut this down sooner had he known that there wasn't going to be indictments at the end of the day," said Joshua Berman, a former colleague of Fitzgerald.

Many who have worked with him describe Fitzgerald as determined, meticulous, intense — a man with a perfect memory. President Bush has called Fitzgerald's conduct dignified and acknowledged the gravity of his task.

"This is a serious investigation," Bush said.

Fitzgerald has a history of conducting serious investigations. As a U.S. attorney in New York he jailed mobsters and terrorists, indicted Osama bin Laden years before most Americans had heard of al Qaeda and now is currently also investigating charges of corruption at Chicago's Democratic city hall.

Ron Safer, a criminal defense attorney who has gone up against Fitzgerald, says Fitzgerald is fair and apolitical.

1. The MOST articulate * quote ever....

"This is a serious investigation," Bush said.


I like it. It has a noun and a verb and a subject. AND, it is relevant to the discussion. I am betting that it was "off the cuff" as well!

Bravo!!!!


:woohoo:

2. And more power to him too!

I just hope he DOES get some indictments for all his hard work! He's investigating some VERY bad men and I hope they don't "get to him".

3. The irony

Is this article saying the same guy who indicted Osama will now indict members of W's regime?

6. Apparently he's specializing in terrorists now (nt)

4. I think that how much he has worked does indicate indictments are certain

He wouldn't have investigated this long for nothing. If he found no evidence of anything, he probably would have stopped a long time ago.

5. My local news called him "Patrick Fitzpatrick" last night

Not exactly a small town media-market either.
