Perhaps…

“Special prosecutor Fitzgerald did, of course, have a duty to keep his investigation secret during grand jury proceedings, according to the rules. He did not have the power to order witnesses at those proceedings not to disclose their testimony or tell what they knew. Instead, Mr. Fitzgerald requested Messrs. Armitage and Powell to keep quiet about the leaker’s identity–a request they understandably treated as an order. Why the prosecutor sought this secrecy can be no mystery–it was the way to keep the grand jury proceedings going, on a fishing expedition, that could yield witnesses who stumbled, or were entrapped, into “obstruction” or “lying” violations. It was its own testament to the nature of this prosecution–and the prosecutor.”

The prosecutorial misconduct of Fitzgerald is well established by several legal experts. A lawyer herself, Clarice Feldman of American Thinker wrote a letter in 2006 to the Office of Professional Responsibility citing several points of his conduct.

Perhaps it’s time the DOJ took a real look into Patrick Fitzgerald’s conduct during the Plame Game. If every a case of prosecutorial misconduct occured there is more than enough evidence for it.

UPDATE: If this is what passes for a snappy comback from the Fitzgerald adoring left - he’s screwed.
