Subject: the truth about Fitzgerald
Hey Bart-
You want to know what happened to Pat Fitzgerald
during the Rove treason investigation?
Nothing. Nothing at all. Fitzgerald did
EXACTLY what he was selected to do;
he let another high profile thug off the hook.
A little history lesson is in order.
Remember a couple of years ago, when the Governor
of Illinois commuted the sentences of
everybody on death row, because there had been
so many of the condemned who had been
released on a technicality... that technicality
being innocence? It turned out that a lot of those
prisoners had been tortured into confessing to
murders they did not commit. Top police
department officials KNEW or certainly should
have known what was going on, and did nothing.
The men running the prosecutors office, little
Richie Daley (the present mayor), and Dick Devine
(the present prosecutor) both KNEW or certainly
should have known what was going on, and
did nothing. The U.S. Attorney for the
Northern District of Illinois, one Pat Fitzgerald, decided
NOT to go after the torturers and the crooked
officials behind them.
192 innocent black men tortured into confessing
to crimes which they had not committed,
and Fitzgerald sides with torture cops and corrupt
prosecutors.
When they announced that Pat Fitzgerald would
be in charge of the Plame investigation,
I knew two things: One - the people in the White
House were guilty. Two - they would walk.
Pat Fitzgerald was presented as a latter-day
Eliot Ness; Untouchable, incorruptible, relentless.
That was a load of crap.
Those of us in Chicago knew him for what he REALLY
was...a cheap political hack.
Pat Fitzgerald is not the man you go to if you
want to dig out the truth...
Pat Fitzgerald is the man you go to when to want
to BURY the truth.
The prosecution rests.
Michael
