How can Fitz say "Go back to our day jobs'?
Someone leaked Plame's identity. Libby is guilty of perjury. Who is guilty of the leak? ( Like we don't know)The real criminals need to be charged. How can this investigation be over?
How can bush pardon Libby? I remember him saying how he would fire(or was it more?) whoever was responsible.
Does anyone have the text of his comments?

1. This doesn't pass the smell test.
These cretins get off Scott free once Jr pardons Libby.

2. Well, it's just speculation
but mabybe this "mafia" has more reach than we think - i.e. - Libby IS the fall guy. Take it any higher and heads might roll but probably not the ones you think. Does Fitz have family? Is he willing to risk them? Who would be?

3. Fitzgerald expressed frustration at the indictment press conference
That the perjury, lying to investigators & cover-ups made it very difficult to get to the bottom of anything.

4. classified information is a problem.
There is not one chance in hell the supremes will force Bushco to hand over the documents that would be required to prosecute on the underlying crime. It took Fitz nearly 4 years to get all the NON classified documents he wanted for THIS because Bushco worked the system of laws governing evidence in a criminal case.

Should Congress choose to impeach or should the Plame civil case go forward the laws governing evidence are different and there is a possibility that more documentation can be pried out of Bushco's hands.

5. Because Fitz opened the door for Congress to get off their lazy butts and start
investigating. That's the next step in all this, or we can wait another 3 years for another minor indictment.

6. Impeachment is the people's only avenue to justice.
So far, justice is being blocked by both parties. It's probably related to someone's political campaign for president.

  The only way that chenybush is going to be impeached, and it ain't all bad, is for the impeachment demand to rise from the people. The real criminals, or I should say, the rest of the criminals, have to include the entire bloc of conspirators: those who carried out the actual, first person leaks plus the ones who set it up and directed it-Rove, Cheney, Bush (maybe,)scooter, Ari F., and others.
  Political language is often used as much as a tool or motivator as it is for communication. Nancy Pelosi's scorned "off the table" comment may well have been an effort at long-term piss off; a way to get us rabble rousers to put on some high volume pressure instead of bitching and waiting for the "leaders" to do it.
  The majority of democrats, sans newbies, have spent a dozen years under the whip, frustrated at every turn, called every emotionally charged name in the book, and forced to eat that shit, managing to score a hit every now and then and awaiting a time to swing into action.
  As any grunt knows, idleness-especially forced idleness-is no way to be in shape for the next mission. Moving out at peak efficiency is still an idea, not a paradigm.
  Barring a self motivated few, the democratic leaders have no shining goals, overarching directives to aim for. They are used to being kicked around and and only allowed to play wherever the big boys said to; they may be ruined forever and need to be replaced.
  We have some leaders with no followers and a bunch of followers with no leaders.
Avoid disappointment, anger and outrage-don't expect original, authentic, or courageous thinking from them.
  The leaders (followers) have to have a directive, a big club-the leadership and enforcement must come from us. Loud. Get angry. Get moving. We have to supply enough strength, push, grease, goose and piloting to fill in for everybody.

  If you stand up and take a stand, about twenty percent will be with you, more or less, twenty will resist and there's sixty in between that you can move, mostly, to take a stand and make a choice.

  It's time.
