Patrick Fitzgerald



Patrick Fitzgerald
Patrick J. Fitzgerald (born December 22, 1960) is a lawyer in Chicago, Illinois. He joined, as partner, the Chicago office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher & Flom as of October 29, 2012.[1] For more than a decade, until June 30, 2012, Fitzgerald was the United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois.[2] As special counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel, Fitzgerald was the federal prosecutor in charge of the investigation of the Valerie Plame Affair, which led to the prosecution and conviction in 2007 of Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff Scooter Libby for perjury.[3][4]

As a federal prosecutor, Fitzgerald led a number of high-profile investigations, including ones that led to convictions of Illinois Governors Rod Blagojevich and George Ryan, media mogul Conrad Black, several aides to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in the Hired Truck Program, and Chicago detective and torturer Jon Burge.

Note: Daley calls Blagojevich 'cuckoo'

As Gov. Rod Blagojevich attempts a last-minute media blitz before his impeachment trial, Mayor Richard Daley is offering a one-word summation of the governor's behavior.
Today the mayor puckered his lips and in a high-pitched, sing-song voice used the word "cuckoo" to describe Blagojevich.
It was the second time in four months that Daley sang like a fake bird poking out of a clock when asked a question about Blagojevich.
Since the first "cuckoo" proclamation last September, Blagojevich has been arrested on federal corruption charges, impeached by the Illinois House and called to stand trial in the state Senate.
Blagojevich is calling the trial a sham, saying it's an attempt to get him out of the way so state lawmakers can raise taxes. At his news conference today, Daley was asked about that.
"I said 'cuckoo' once, I'll say it again," Daley said said. "Cuckoo."
As the media and his staff laughed, the mayor smiled and walked out of the room, ending the news conference on that note.
Back in September, Daley sang "cuckoo" to the media when asked about Blagojevich's claim that CTA President Ron Huberman was being dishonest about the financial impact of the governor's mandate of free rides for seniors in an effort to justify fare increases.
