This does not answer the question. I understand the legal standard, I also understand that it is a high standard, but I don't understand why Fitzgerald doesn't step up to that challenge - given what is common knowledge. Fitzerald basically has unlimited resources to bring this case to trial. Even if he does not win the case, at least there would be a judicial record of the evidence, at least we can minimize the speculation, at least he can get the key players to testify on the stand. Perhaps we can bring closure to the issue one way or the other. The point of his investigation, I thought was to come to a conclusion. He needs to say a crime was not comitted or he needs to bring the matter to trial in my opinion. I don't think he has done either.
So you give an answer telling me about the burden of proof, but that response does not address what I want to know. I believe my question is valid and perhaps Fitzerald needs to go on record an explain why he is not going to bring the case to trial, and perhaps the public should pressure him into addressing the question.
I admit it is possible that he has given a detailed explanation and I have not read it, if so a link would be helpful, rather than telling me to stop saying I don't have a clear answer.

Not exactly hard to find Ace....unless you dont want to see it. He lied to the grand jury while they were investigating his involvement, you dont issue charges until the investigation is complete. |
I don't get it. I am asking about the crime of "outing" a covert CIA agent. Is someone guilty of this crime or not? If someone is guilty of that crime, why hasn't the matter been taken to court? If the answer is - the investigation continues - at least that is something - but it is disappointing, how much longer is he going to investigate?
