Reply #2: He was given "all the authority of the Attorney General" [View All]

On December 30, 2003, Fitzgerald was appointed Special Counsel (under Department of Justice regulation 28 CFR Part 600) in the Plame investigation. Through this, Fitzgerald was delegated "all the authority of the Attorney General" in the matter. In February 2004, Acting Attorney General Comey clarified the delegated authority and stated that Fitzgerald has plenary authority. Comey also wrote "further, my conferral on you of the title of 'Special Counsel' in this matter should not be misunderstood to suggest that your position and authorities are defined and limited by 28 CFR Part 600."<10>

I'm just wondering did he use the power that was given him
if he did then he was limited in his power

but if he didn't
then why didn't he?

because Waxman is really showing that a very bad man is left in the whitehouse and all the evidence was at Fitzgerald's fingertips

Fitz knew the Justice Department was investigating him

Abramoff pled guilty on January 3, 2006, to three criminal felony counts in a Washington, D.C., federal court related to the defrauding of American Indian tribes and corruption of public officials.<1> The following day, on January 4, he pled guilty to two criminal felony counts in a separate federal court, in Miami, related to his fraudulent dealings with SunCruz Casinos.<2>

On March 29, 2006, he was sentenced to five years and 10 months in prison and ordered to pay restitution of more than $21 million. His prison sentence was the minimum permitted under a plea bargain with federal prosecutors, in part because of his purported cooperation in the federal investigation and also because over 100 influential political allies—some very recognizable names in American public policy—wrote the sentencing judge on Abramoff's behalf, urging leniency. In October 2006, over six months after his sentencing, he was ordered by a federal judge to report to federal prison by November 15, 2006.

And one wonders that Fitz had the log books which showed Abrahmhoff going to the whitehouse often???

Its just amazing how in two big investigations that Rove was connected the Justice Department could never nab him
Dang Rove is good
