The most important criminal case in US history

 

 

 

" Patrick Fitzgerald has before him the most important criminal case in

American history. Watergate, by comparison, was a random burglary in an

age of innocence. The investigators prosecutorial authority in this

present case is not constrained by any regulation. If he finds a thread

connecting the leak to something greater, Fitzgerald has the legal power

to follow it to the web in search of the spider. It seems unlikely, then,

that he would simply go after the leakers and the people who sought to

cover up the leak when it was merely a secondary consequence of the much

greater crime of forging evidence to foment war. Fitzgerald did not earn

his reputation as an Irish alligator by going after the little guy.

Presumably, he is trying to find evidence that Karl Rove launched a covert

operation to create the forged documents and then conspired to out Valerie

Plame when he learned the fraud was being uncovered by Plames husband,

Ambassador Joseph Wilson. As much as this sounds like the plot of a John

le Carre novel, it also comports with the profile of the Karl Rove I have

known, watched, traveled with and written about for the past 25 years. "
