Theory: What if they got to Fitz?

[Stanchetalarooni]

What if they made him an offer he couldn't refuse?

[foreverdem]

1. I don't think he'd be interested

The only thing he's interested in is justice and the truth. I don' think he'd be interested in any "offer" they would make to him.

[durrrty libby]

7. If that happened…..it would mean all hope is lost and....

I’d probably jump off a bridge.

[Alamom]

2. Not gonna happen....

[AlCzervik]

3. Fitz isn't Ken Starr.

[Norquist Nemesis]

4. Just not seeing it

Fitzie is a rare breed. The highest of ethics and integrity.

There was some chatter about Bush nominating him as a judge. He probably didn't make the cut simply because he IS ethical and apolitical.

5. What If Octopi Fly?

This guy is a pro and he likes his work. Now, his whole professional reputation is based upon being a giant killer. He's not going to sell-out.

Besides, he's already indicted the CoS of the 2nd most powerful (in theory) person in the world. What possible good would it do to try to buy him off now? It would be far too late.

If he has the evidence, he'll indict. Getting the evidence is likely the hardest part given the criminal mentality of this crowd in the White House.

14. It is not possible for Octopi to fly.

Perhaps it is highly improbable that Fitz could be bought off. Or threatened off.
But it is possible.

[ProfessorGAC]

17. If, If, If, If, If, If, . . .

Positing a hypothetical that could POSSIBLY happen, no matter how improbable, without any context to support such a supposition is no more valid than wondering what would happen if an octopus learned to fly.

22. Asking hard questions is all. It is not easy.

I have worked with all manner of child abuse, incest. To shy away from asking hard questions is unconscionable and immoral. A

[Lochloosa]

23. Octopi can fly....evidence below

[Doctor_J]

6. If he were "touchable", they wouldn't have howled so loud

when he got the job. I just don't think this guy is interested. The only thing I worry about is, if he was being threatened by the BFEE, to whom could he turn for protection? FBI? No. Secret Service? No. Their reach is very long.

[AnarchoFreeThinker]

8. well, here's the theory that makes me think it's time to stop posting

theories, even though I'd just started a new thread on a theory. I hereby retract.

[Stanchetalarooni]

9. I just finished watching The Godfather with my 17 yr. old son.

Towards the end the godfather is lamenting that his son Michael had to get involved in "the family business" at the shoot 'em up level.
The Godfather says that he had hoped to have had his son enter "the family business" as a Governor or Senator where one didn't have to be a trigger man....less actual blood on ones hands.

10. THEORY: What if the MOON was made of DELICIOUS ICE CREAM?

Fitz has a record, and an impeccable one. Do a little research.

ON EDIT - spelling as usual

[Stanchetalarooni]

13. The moon being made of ice cream is not possible.

Getting muscled in politics is.

[JuniperLea]

11. I doubt it

But that's not saying he wouldn't take his time and have that type of conversation with BushCo, even if only to gather more information he could use later. Fitz seems to be a very, very patient man who is open to listening and exploring all possibilities before he acts on anything.

I think it would be ultra cool if he were listening carefully and taking notes to be used later in other indictments:)

12. Theory: Some here might consider the wisdom of switching to de-caf

:donut:

[arwalden]

19. They Need To Switch SOMETHING...

... that's for sure.

[havocmom]

27. Oh, Allen, you always have JUST the right picture

Thanks for much needed giggle!

[npincus]

15. surely you jest.

[Stanchetalarooni]

21. I try to never ask questions about impossibilities.

However, as a social scientist I am compelled to ask hard questions about probabilities.
It may be highly improbable that he took any offer of reward.
It may be highly improbable that he would succumb to threats.
However it is not impossible and hence my question.

[H2O Man]

16. Silly. n/t

[Gregorian]

18. They don't need to if they're listening in on his phone calls.

[NJ_Lib]

20. By each and every account, Fitzy is a stand-up guy...

... A rare breed who is not impressed by wealth and power, only American justice... His Ma should give lessons...

[Beelzebud]

24. Or maybe a lot around here are victims to ENDLESS speculation!

From reading this site the past week, you'd think Fitzgerald was superman, and Rove was some evil mastermind genius.

Frankly i'm fucking sick of the whole speculation game. We'll know when we know, and until then, everything else is just bullshit.

[madrchsod]

25. ya right...

[theboss]

26. Ah, jeez

Jason Leopold writing a factually incorrect story logically leads to Patrick Fitzgerald being corrupt.

That makes perfect sense.

[symbolman]

28. Not impossible

suppose you found one of your pets dead on your step? That's how the Mob operates.. remember the Horses head in the guy's bed?

I knew some wiseguys in Chicago and the pet thing is a cute warning they use - as far as I'm concerned Bush and CO ARE the Mob.

Remember all those Media folks getting anthraxed?

It's all on the table with these monsters..

[Skinner]

29. Locking
