Reply #33: You know, I admire John Dean

[Missy Vixen]

but this is an unfortunate comment.

>He said that Fitzgerald's investigation was like the first Watergate investigation in that it was too narrow, and bound to only get a few minor fish.<

John Dean should know that the charges are narrowly drawn so it's possible to get a conviction. Libby's defense attorneys have already attempted the greymail crap; everyone else is going to try the same thing.

Nobody knows what's happening in the investigation for the simple reason that if Bush ended it (and gosh, there's a shock,) it's evidently illegal for Patrick Fitzgerald to comment. There's also the added idea that many in the US Attorney's office may be on vacation this month, most of Washington is on vacation this month, and he has a few more things on his plate in Chicago. (Hollinger and Lord Black come to mind.)

In the meantime, I am still,
