Who Knew About Valerie?

Special Prosecutor Fitzgerald may go public as early as today, so yesterday he was mopping up details. And one of those details makes me think he may have a spy-outing indictment or two ready, but needs to check off a few more check boxes first.

FBI agents interviewed the Wilson's neighbors to see if any of them knew Val was a spy, according to AP. It's important for Fitzgerald to establish that they did not; otherwise his investigation could be embarassed and derailed. Imagine bringing charges against Scooter, only to find that Val bragged about her CIA exploits at the local cocktail parties!

We don't know what the FBI found out, other than one neighbor who said he didn't know Val spied. If they found any neighbors who were aware for some time of her penchant for trench coats, it would mess up the entire case.

I'm not seeing anything in these last days that justify the lefty hysteria that drives them to draw up lists of a dozen or more indictable Republicans. Maybe none, maybe one, slight chance of two -- that's my call.

If there's even one, the Dems will crow about how power has corrupted the GOP. They should look at the Clinton era investigations and resignations first. It took them less than eight years to show their manifest corruption. Some would say eight weeks, pointing to the White House travel office scandal, but I'm feeling oddly kind this morning.
