Espionage Act and IIPA

* billmon makes a good case that fitz took a dive on the espionage charge.

im not sure if im just being totally optimistic - but it seems that fitz lays out the case for both the Espionage Act and IIPA very clearly in the indictment - wide enough to drive a bus through - and ive gotta imagine that he's done that for a purpose - for extra leverage over libby and/or for leverage over others.

rove's lawyers must be panicking this weekend.

the oct28 deadline was totally artificial - particularly for fitz - he played down the clock very cleverly - its a standard negotiating trick. fitz knows he can pull the trigger on any number of indictments whenever he wants.

i hope.
