Fitzgerald's Cover-Up

A thoroughly wrongheaded case. WSJ:
In his reply to the DJ-AP motion, Mr. Fitzgerald tries to hide behind rule 6(e) of grand jury secrecy. He claims the integrity of grand juries will be compromised by the release. But much of the material was already disclosed during the Libby trial, if not leaked earlier. And the far larger risk to grand jury integrity would be if Mr. Fitzgerald misled the courts about what he knew and when he knew it in order to coerce the two reporters to testify.
We need this matter cleared up. It is especially critical for Illinois, given the courts are practically our only recourse to clean up corruption in the state.
