They allude, they say, sources are telling them that Scooter Libby has already been indicted and that it\u2019s been sealed, and other work is being done to get closer to other figures. That\u2019s in the Los Angeles Times today. There are also profiles. I have one here from the Associated Press on the special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald. It says: &#8220;A man who has been bungee jumping even though he doesn\u2019t like heights, federal prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald will go to great lengths to challenge himself&#8230;. As the hard-driving son of a Brooklyn doorman jets between Chicago and Washington, he\u2019s fast becoming one of the country\u2019s best known federal prosecutors&#8230;. Fitzgerald says he grew up as part of &#8216;a typical Brooklyn, Irish-American group of guys,\u2019 but he also attended a small private Catholic high school where he studied Latin and Greek&#8230;. Matthew Piers, an attorney who has gone up against Fitzgerald, says he\u2019s overzealous. Piers represented Enaam Arnaout, the head of a defunct Muslim charity whom Fitzgerald charged with funneling aid to al-Qaida. He said Fitzgerald, using an old photo showing Arnaout with bin Laden, hyped charges against his client as fear swept the country after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The head of the defunct Muslim charity made a last-minute deal to plead guilty to defrauding his donors which was not what he was originally charged with. He is serving 11 years.&#8221; So the son of a Brooklyn doorman. It\u2019s not a very extensive profile, but most of the profiles that we\u2019ve had of Patrick Fitzgerald have raved about his raging independent status, his apolitical nature, his hard-driving style.<\/p>\n<p>Chuck Schumer said, &#8220;He\u2019s a prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor,&#8221; and I must tell you &#8212; I didn\u2019t share this with you, but when I heard Chuck Schumer say that he\u2019s a prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor, I have to tell you, a red flag went up. First, how would Chuck Schumer know? What is it? How does Chuck Schumer know about this guy, number one, and number two, what does he know about him that would make him say, &#8220;He\u2019s a prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor&#8221;? It leads me to believe that Schumer may know more than we do. He may know what\u2019s coming down here. I mean, it\u2019s clear that the Democrats and the left want as many in this administration indicted as possible because they think that will create another Watergate and it will paralyze the Bush administration and perhaps even lead Bush to resign. So when Schumer is out there saying, &#8220;He\u2019s a prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor,&#8221; what does he know? Well, what it means is, Schumer is saying, &#8220;This guy\u2019s unassailable.&#8221; Schumer is saying, &#8220;He\u2019s beyond criticism.&#8221; A prosecutor\u2019s prosecutor means: &#8220;Don\u2019t criticize him. Don\u2019t go down that road. This guy is flawless! This guy is perfect,&#8221; is what Schumer is saying. Well, okay. All well and good, but how does Schumer know this? Who does Schumer know that knows Patrick Fitzgerald? Does Schumer know Fitzgerald? I don\u2019t know any of this, but I mean, what does he know to come out with this, particularly in this political climate? It seems to me that Senator Schumer may know something that we don\u2019t know and he may like what he knows, and therefore he wants to go out and provide cover for the special prosecutor because he knows what\u2019s coming. I mean, I didn\u2019t share that with you when that happened, but that\u2019s the red flag that went up immediately when I heard him say that.<\/p>\n<p>END TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: The Los Angeles Times has an interesting story today about the CIA leak investigation.
