The Mahablog: On the Other Hand ...

Last week, Robert Kuttner wondered why Bob Novak wasn't facing jail, and whether prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald was conducting an honest investigation.

Here's what we've learned:

First, Fitzgerald is playing it straight. Novak has apparently testified -- otherwise he'd be in jail with Miller. Fitzgerald has extensively investigated Bush officials. Karl Rove has likely testified, too.

I reasoned that Fitzgerald needn't subpoena other reporters because Novak could tell all. But after doing more reporting, I've learned that the reality is far more complicated.
