How Long Till Fitzgerald Digs Into Bush on Spygate?
With Conyers moving to investigate, and a clear violation of federal law on the hands of the Chief Executive, how long until Fitzgerald expands his investigation to include charges of illegal eavesdropping by presidential executive order?
3. There'd have to be a Plame-Snoopgate connection.
And while there very well could be, he'd have to establish that connection before he could start investigating.
I think Fitz has his hands full right now. The CIA Leak case may be leading into an investigation of the White House's abuse of pre-war intel. That's a lot to chew on.
He doesn't have carte blanche. His "charter" so to speak is to investigate "the alleged unauthorized disclosure of a CIA employee's identity." While he can also investigate efforts to impede or interfere with his investigation, he can't reach out to investigate unrelated violations of law by the executive branch.
If you had given yourself authority to monitor communications, and people like Joseph Wilson were working to put your administration in jeopardy, would you simply ignore their communications?
