One, Fitzgerald did not bring charges against anyone for "outing" Plame. Hence, my assumption that he did not believe there was a crime involving her "outing".
Two, Fitzgerald knew who initiated the leak.

I assume I am in-part the target of this comment. Arguments for my views have been posted for all to read in several threads on this topic. I have included facts, asked questions, and have shared the basis of my opinions.
The truth is actually coming out about Bush haters as it relates to this case. In the minds of many this was some kind of a litmus test for the entire case for war and how many think Bush misused intelligence information. Many admit Libby is a scapegoat, but fail to explain how his trial conviction and excessive sentence relates to justice.

It would be nice if Fitzgerald actually answered some questions like this honestly. All we can do is speculate at this point. I think his motives were political. I would like to know what the Bush haters think about why he did it.
Ironically, if the sentence had been reasonable, Bush, in my opinion, may not have taken any action.
