File it Under: ‘That Ain’t Gonna Happen Anytime Soon’

Share article:

From Bloomberg News:

July 20 (Bloomberg) — Patrick Fitzgerald won the convictions of four Osama bin Laden associates in May 2001. In March, he got Lewis “Scooter” Libby. Last week, he nailed Conrad Black.

Fitzgerald, 46, isn’t saying what he’ll do next in his career. Friends and colleagues say he probably will remain a prosecutor rather than join a law firm. One colleague says Fitzgerald’s destiny may include the top law-enforcement job in the country: U.S. attorney general.

“I think he would make a spectacular attorney general,” said former Deputy U.S. Attorney General James Comey

    Nothin against Fitz personally, but don’t be too sure Dredd. They are really slimmy, no holds barred. I’m guessing rove has now read The Art of War, and not just Machiavelli.

    Could be.

    But filing “Bush appoints Fitzgerald as AG to replace Gonzales” under ‘That Ain’t Gonna Happen Anytime Soon’ is the better bet.

    The penalty for conspiracy to commit murder was probation for this guy.

    Is a pardon on the way for yet another guilty Cheney crony who pillaged the people’s money?

    No wonder the 21 republican senators who see all this “compassionate conservatism”, think they can get away with supporting the criminal Iraq war.

    Can the president pardon an election? 🙂 …

    The answer to “they have all gone to look for america” is ‘That Ain’t Gonna Happen Anytime Soon’ …

    If Clinton, Obama or Richardson get elected, I bet that Fitzgerald would be their first choice for AG…

    Although he has a good reputation, Patric Fitzgerald is Republican-affiliated. I’m not sure that any democrat holding the office of president is likely to appoint him.
