Don't mean to be a downer, really. I was surfing, looking for Fitzgerald news, thoughts, Kremlin-watchings, etc. and stumbled over David Corn's most recent blog. Unfotunately, he paints a fairly dismal picture for the future of the criminal investigation. He basically feels like what you see is what you get with Fitzgerald and that the investigation is just about over - with Libby being the sole defendant. Don't know the degree to which he is an "insider/in the know" but he also throws in some other sources' prognostications.
This runs precisely contrary to the way I thought things might be going. Oh well.
Here's an excerpt:
I know there are plenty of people--not in the White House, but elsewhere--who are still hoping that Patrick Fitzgerald has an indictment or two up his sleeve. I've heard all the reasoning that underpins such hopes. He's building a case out from Scooter Libby; he's being so meticulous so that when he indicts Karl Rove there will no questions about the case. But, as I've noted, during the press conference last Friday, Fitzgerald sent out the vibes of a fellow who was close to the end of the endeavor not someone about to start a new chapter. A TV commentator I know informs me today that a friend of his who is close to Fitzgerald says Fitzgerald's done.
