Karl Rove has a Terminator on his azz

[Aplomado]

I just got off the phone with a friend of mine, a veteran investigative reporter, who in turn said he recently talked to one of his old editors, who covered Patrick Fitzgerald when he was an assistant U.S. attorney going after mob guys in New York. So my friend asked him what he thought of the guy.

"Fitzgerald is a prosecution machine," the old editor said. "When he wants somebody, he goes after them with whatever he's got. If he can't make the case he started with, he'll figure out what you did do and hit you with that. He's relentless, and he doesn't give a flying fuck about the press or the First Amendment. He'd throw us all in jail if it would help him make his case." "

I'm reminded of the scene in The Terminator, where Reese -- the hero who's come back from the future to protect Sarah Connors -- tells her:

"Listen. Understand. That Terminator is out there. It can't be reasoned with, it can't be bargained with. . . . And it absolutely will not stop. Ever. . . . "

1. That is my impression of the fellow as well.

Welcome to DU, Sir.

2. The subject line fooled me!

I thought that Arnold Schwarzenegger had come out against Rove when I read it! It sounds like Fitzgerald is pretty tenacious!

4. He Is, Sir

Here in Illinois, he ruined the state Republican Party: it may take them a generation to rebuild for statewide races....

3. My faith in the rule of law was shattered on 12/12/00. Maybe Fitz can make

a believer out of me again.

And welcome to DU!

5. I'd prefer Fitzgerald as "Michael the Archangel" who cast the devils

into Hell.

Justice should be tenacious and ruthless to thugs like Rove, et all.
