The Washington Post is all excited because Patrick Fritzgerald, he of the Wilson affair fame, got rated. Wow. Dan Eggen and John Solomon report:
U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald was ranked among prosecutors who had “not distinguished themselves” on a Justice Department chart sent to the White House in March 2005, when he was in the midst of leading the CIA leak investigation that resulted in the perjury conviction of a vice presidential aide, administration officials said yesterday
The ratings were done by one DOJ aide, D. Kyle Sampson.
Two facts.
One, Sampson rated all ninety-three United States Attorneys. As Fritzgerald was one of the ninety-three means, he got rated. So the fact that Fritzgerald got rated means nothing, nothing at all.
Two, the ratings, such as they were, were entirely the product of one person, Sampson, and there is no evidence they represent anything more than Sampson’s opinion, such as it was. So Sampson had an opinion and so he expressed it. So what!
So to the WaPo, as Clara Peller might say: “Where is the news?”
