Raw Story Reports That Fitzgerald Has Made Up His Mind

Raw Story is reporting that Fitzgerald has decided to seek indictments in the TraitorGate Scandal:

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has decided to seek indictments in the outing of CIA operative Valerie Plame Wilson and has submitted at least one to the grand jury, those close to the investigation tell RAW STORY.

Fitzgerald will seek at least two indictments, the sources say. They note that it remains to be seen whether the grand jury will approve the charges.

Raw Story is also reporting that Fitzgerald will probably not seek indictments that assert officials leaked Valerie Plame's name illegally. The sources say that "he will focus charges in the arena of lying to investigators."

This will certainly upset folks like Senator Kay Bailey Hutchison, who thought it was just fine to pursue perjury charges against Bill Clinton for lying about consensual sex but who is against perjury/obstruction-of-justice charges for folks who lie during an investigation of the outing of a covert CIA operative working on WMD proliferation issues during a time of war.

I have this to say to Hutchinson and folks like her:

Silver bells, silver bells
It's Fitzmas time in the city
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring
Soon it will be Fitzmas day!
