Waiting for the (indictment) shoe to drop
I don't think Fitzgerald would have been putting so much effort into this investigation because he needs a paycheck.
As far as the context of government action and secrecy in the name of national interest, that's a seminal point. I felt the 2000 election was the last throes of 20th century reactionary politics; and they cheated their way in! 911 threw a big old curve ball in the way the first term would have progressed (or regressed). The denouement may be belated but is likely coming as a result of the WH/admin overreaching their visions of empire.
Multiple scandals abound, but this one touching the inner workings of the WH has begun to consume so much energy (though little MSM attention thus far) that I fear if little comes of it (except the Wilson's civil suit) exhaustion will set in on the left. It happened after the '04 election. Now there is another head of steam to "get the bastards".
Watergate redux? But will the politicians, most of whom have been neutered or coopted, be part of a sea change, call for change, or simply try to ride the tide in a way that preserves their own viability?
One last fuzzy thought: Why is it that the humans we call politicians have yet to recognize that acting and speaking from a sense of honesty is not only the right thing to do but, I think, prevents catastrophe in the long run? Maybe they're the ones who are captive to the paycheck, ethically and financially bought and sold.
