Patrick Fitzgerald is a Thug

The Associated Press this afternoon reported that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has asked federal district judge Reggie Walton to sentence Scooter Libby to 2 1/2 to 3 years on the obstruction of justice charges on which Libbly was convicted several months ago. 2 1/2 to 3 years for supposedly lying about something that wasn’t a crime, for which no one was charged, and for which Fitzgerald KNEW someone else (Richard Armitage) was responsible before anyone even asked Libby a single question, and before Libby ever appeared before a grand jury. The Libby case should never have been brought, and Patrick Fitzgerald should have folded up his tent and put his jack boots in the closet. Instead, he chose to call Libby before the grand jury repeatedly in what was a blatant perjury trap. Fitzgerald is a disgrace to the Justice Department and the legal profession.
