Fitgerald wasted millions on the Plame investigation and the Libby trial. He would not get my vote for most effective US Attorney.

ace....sometimes, you really..... kindly support your "wasted millions" statement.
The CIA leak investigation, compared to any past investigation that you can name, cost almost NOTHING. Show us facts that support an argument that the entire expenditure of the government on the CIA leak investigation, was more than only Libby's defense costs, to date.
The CIA asked for the investigation. Bush's atty. general, Ashcroft, recused himself, because the CIA wanted a serious investigation. Ashcroft authroized the #2 at the DOJ, James Comey, to appoint a special counsel. Show us even one example of Patrick Fitzgerald not acting in an ethical manner in the investigation, in the trial, or in his prior professional, or non-professional life.
Show us how Patrick Fitzgerald erroneously came to be named "special counsel" in the investigation, where he wasted money, and what he should have done, instead of indicting Libby, when Libby claimed, under oath, that he first heard about "Wilson's CIA wife", from Tim Russert, vs. testimony that the grand jury heard from Russert, Judith Miller, Ari Fleischer, Matt Cooper, Armitage, and from Karl Rove.....or.....please stop doing this....
