USA Fitzpatrick failed to convict Blagojevich on 23 of 24 multiple counts. But not to worry. Fitzpatrick succeeded in convicting Blagovich, and destroying his reputation and career, three years ago with a vicious press conference -- and without having to bother himself with due process and trial by jury. Oddly, the same Fitzpatrick was scrupulous in avoiding trial publicity in the Scooter Libby case.
