Fitzgerald May Seek Legal Case Against Cheney
Marcy Wheeler, the preeminent Plameologist authority and author of Anatomy of Deceit: How the Bush Administration Used the Media to Sell the Iraq War and Out a Spy, believes that the work of Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is long from over.
In the interview, she revealed that she believes that Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald will press forward with his investigation, and that his ultimate target is Vice President Dick Cheney: “I’m not entirely convinced that Fitzgerald’s done. I used to be conservative on that, believing that he was done. But there are little snippets of hints that he’s not.â€
Wheeler continued:
… “I think Fitzgerald clearly wants Cheney and he’s not the kind of person who rests on his laurels after getting one conviction. One thing I can say is I don’t understand why Eric Edelman wasn’t called and that may be something he kept in reserve. I don’t understand why Jenny Mayfield wasn’t called, that may be something he kept in reserve.â€
MSNBC’s David Schuster mentioned this point in a report he filed Monday night on Countdown with Keith Olbermann on the same network.
“Legal sources confirm to MSNBC tonight that if Libby is convicted, prosecutors are expected to attempt to revisit Libby’s vague testimony about Vice President Cheney,†Shuster said. “The idea is that prosecutors would seek to flip Libby to get at suspicions about the Vice President.â€
“Prosecutors are still seeking to pursue Cheney in the overall investigation,†he added. [emphasis added]
Looks like the hunter has become the hunted.
