In a Justice Department chart sent to the White House in 2005, Plamegate special counsel Patrick Fitzgerald -- who is also the U.S. attorney for the Northern District of Illinois -- was ranked among prosecutors who had "not distinguished themselves."
As the Washington Post reports this morning, that ranking put Fitzgerald somewhere in between "strong U.S. Attorneys ... who exhibited loyalty" to the Bush administration and "weak U.S. Attorneys who ... chafed against administration initiatives, etc."
