Fitzgerald must indict Cheney or resign

Yesterday former White House press secretary Scott McClellan took the sand out of Fitzgerald's face. When Fitz indicted Scooter Libby, he used that famous sports metaphor of "kicking sand in his face" and obstructing the investigation. Fitz has not released any grand jury testimony because that would show that there was no sand in his face despite Libby's perjury and obstruction.

The only conclusion one can make about McClellan's disclosure is that he had already told that to the grand jury. And Fitz's failure to release McClellan's grand jury testimony seals the deal. Furthermore, Fitz did not put either Bush or Cheney under oath. In 2004, Fitz may have owed them some loyalty. Given the recent U.S. Attorney firings, he needs to "come up to the plate" to save his reputation. For his own professional integrity, he should not run out the clock. He must either resign or indict Cheney.

The statute of limitaions is 5 years for federal crimes. I believe that a sitting VP does not have the sovereign immunity that Presidents have. At a minimum, Cheney should be an unindicted coconspirator because there is no doubt that Bush is going to pardon him and many in his administration.

Plame's attorney?

I have always been suspicious of how the Rs investigate the Rs. The USA firings should tell us something about WHY we should be skeptical until we have the FACTS!

he holds no loyalty but to the law. he was appointed to chicago to go after the democratic machine in illinois but he took down the entire republican party instead and now he`s after the democratic corruption in this state.

Mr. Fitzgerald does not have the legal authority to release the grand jury testimony, other than what was used in the Libby trial. I think that simple fact alone discredits the rest of the article.

how`s that working for those two democratic senators now? goes to show that when people do not read the laws pertaining to grand juries and special prosecutors they make big mistakes...even those who write in huffington`s site

can also access the information. They are fully aware of exactly what steps they need to take. The Department of Justice has been stonewalling, and will continue to do so. The responsibility belongs to Congress.

Has his appointment expired? Does he have a Grand Jury empaneled, or can he even do that now?

to purue what he could`t. all they have to do is ask. there is nothing he can do now
