What's All The Fuss About..?
Lawyer love The Fitzgerald file...
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is engaged!
It's over for all those single femmes in Chicago and Washington, D.C., hoping one day to snag bachelor Fitzgerald, 46, who turned female heads while spearheading Washington's CIA probe and the Scooter Libby trial.
One of the nation's most eligible bachelors and one of People magazine's "Sexiest Men Alive" plans to marry a Head Start teacher from Chicago named Jennifer Letzkus, 34, whose family hails from Decatur.
And it was the Washington Post that got the scoop.
"We are obsessed with him," said scoopster Amy Argetsinger, who printed the zinger in Thursday's editions.
"We are so happy for them but we want to respect their privacy," said Peggy Letzkus, Jennifer's stepmother, who is married to Jennifer's dad, Gerald. The couple lives in Decatur, where their daughter may tie the knot in a small, private ceremony this spring.
Randall Samborn, a spokesman for Fitzgerald who helps maintain a lid on his boss' obsessive privacy, chuckled at how long it took us to find out.
"Several of you reporters have known for a few days," he told Sneed. "I'm surprised it took so long to come out."
• • Background: Letzkus, who was described as a former investment banker and a marathon runner, was formerly married to Chicagoan Jeremy Crisup in 2001 and divorced in 2004. She also reported a burglary based on forcible entry to her apartment in 2006.
Chuckle central: Fitzgerald, who has a terrific sense of humor, has handled his share of personal teasing since coming to Chicago . . . but check out this excerpt from the "The Little Pink Clubhouse" blog about his engagement.
"Patrick Fitzgerald is engaged. This is the worst day EVER!
"Ladies, the day we've dreaded is here. Bring your own Kleenex. This will be legendary!
"This calls for chocolate, more chocolate, and chocolate after that! My heart is BROKEN. He's supposed to be pining away for ME, and he gets himself engaged to some gorgeous marathon running, Head Start teaching, former investment banker? How can this BE? She sounds like she's just perfect for my heartthrob. [sob! sob! sniff!] Congratulations, you two. I hope you'll be blissfully happy together.
"In the meantime, I'll be cleaning out the chocolate supply in a three-state area!"
I couldn't have done it without everyone's help - it was love at first sight - my color coordinated suit and tie caught Jen's eye and according to her...I had her at "doh!" ;)

Fitzgerald closes case of unmarried prosecutor
By Jeff Coen and Tara Malone
Tribune staff reporters
October 19, 2007
Sorry ladies, Chicago's ranking crime fighter is off the market.
Less than two years after making People magazine's list of the sexiest men alive, it was revealed Thursday that U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald is engaged to be married.
Fitzgerald's pairing with investment-banker-turned-Head-Start-teacher Jennifer Letzkus was a surprise to many who think of the hard-charging prosecutor as having little time for a personal life.
At 46, Fitzgerald is 12 years older than his fiance. Letzkus, sometimes known as "Jenni," lives near Fitzgerald in Lincoln Park.
"Don't overlook the mature apple," said Barbie Adler of Chicago-based Selective Search, a firm that helps professional men find mates. "The fact he waited could be a great thing. He got to know himself and know what he is looking for."
It's not like Fitzgerald was just hanging around, directionless, never really finishing anything.
Since being appointed to serve the Northern District of Illinois in 2001, Fitzgerald has put fear into the hearts of Chicago's corrupt politicians, rogue cops, mobsters and white-collar crooks. This year, the prosecution he led saw Vice President Dick Cheney's former chief of staff, I. Lewis "Scooter" Libby, convicted in the CIA leak case.
His work ethic is legendary, with some suspecting he is awake and in his office at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse 22 hours a day.
Maybe that didn't leave a lot of time for love to bloom.
"People may have said he will be the eternal bachelor, but the flip side is he spent so much time with his head down, focused on his career that he might be in a good place to pull back and devote attention to a new chapter in his life," Adler said.
People magazine listed Fitzgerald in its "Smart Guys" category on the sexiest list in 2005, reminding readers he's been called "Eliot Ness with a Harvard degree" and picturing him in a purposeful walk with a trench coat draped over his arm.
"You are commanded to testify to your incorruptible appeal and unfathomable lifestyle," the magazine wrote.
Northwestern University law student Shira Weissman heard Fitzgerald speak at a public-interest law forum at the Chicago campus last year. She knew beforehand his reputation as one of the Chicago's best catches.
Hearing him speak, Weissman said she understood why.
"You just look up there and think this is one hot-shot litigator. He can take down anyone," Weissman said. "And he's very good looking."
But Fitzgerald has never even been nominated for the bachelors list in Today's Chicago Woman magazine, said its founder, Sherren Leigh.
"I don't think in Chicago he's on the single-woman's radar screen, or the single man's," Leigh said.
Many close to Fitzgerald declined to comment Thursday, saying they know how important Fitzgerald's privacy is to him. The U.S. attorney's office made no official statement, offered no details about the couple's courtship, and would only confirm the news of the engagement.
Fitzgerald and Letzkus plan a small, private ceremony, said Randall Samborn, Fitzgerald's spokesman.
"She'd better be good to him," said Judy Markey, co-host of the Kathy and Judy Show on WGN radio.
Markey called herself a great admirer and added that the impending wedding proves Fitzgerald is "not an automaton."
"But it's not like I was planning to date him; he's too smart," Markey said. "Oh, yeah, and I'm married."
There was no word from the U.S. attorney's office that Fitzgerald -- with vigorous investigations running at City Hall, in state government, in Cook County government, inside the Chicago Police Department and against the Chicago Outfit -- would be taking more early evenings to spend time with his soon-to-be wife.
Most who know him said Chicago should continue to wait for him to make the next big case.
Famous for stashing socks and underwear in his office, Fitzgerald may want to adjust some of those habits, Adler cautioned.
But Leigh said any career woman should understand a demanding job like Fitzgerald's.
"When a successful woman is married to a really successful man," Leigh said, "you have a beautiful sounding board for your own work problems."
Sherren Leigh could not be more wrong.
The River Shannon, Cleveland, Armitage...what could be more perfect for Fitz?

Fitz's old girlfriend, Bridget Hughes, is now a Cook County judge.
As I was watching Plame, and having met Letzkus, I was struck by how similar they are: smart, hardworking, knock-out blondes. And the age differences b/t the guys and gals are about the same (13 1/2 v 12 1/2 years). Fitz learned something during his investigation ;).
So if Letzkus got divorced in 2004, when did they start dating? You know it's all going to come out.

Oh, by the way Patrick, I walked right up to the private detetective and smiled, he didn't have the right girl- I don't dance I sit and talk politics. I hope the best for you. Remember what Laura Bush said, it is a scentence.

You take care, the two of you.

Prayers to you, CJ and all those in California and Mexico border. Shame on "20/20" trying to make NOLA look bad. People see through that crap now and the chaos they strive to create. Firefighters and our troops deserve America's thanks and not to be used as pawns for evil.
Just gotta wonder after all the corruption and evil going on in this country...don't you? What is that lady's name? Kay Bailey something?

James Thompson got his law degree by doing a "special project" for Fred Inbau a professor at Northwestern U.
There are alot of whispers about 'how' they met and 'how' Inbau mentored James R. Thompson.
The special project that earned Thompson his law degree, that gave him the 'credits' to graduate Northwestern Law School was: changing the sex laws, specifically the sodomy laws. James R. Thompson [along with Abner Mikva] sat on Judge Austin's Sex Crimes Committee which helped promulgate the Model Penal Code in the 50's. Thompson was supposedly a student, but he was actually a Kinsey lobbyist.
That's why lawyers and judges genuflect to James R. Thompson.
Dawn Clark Netsch, former legislator and Northwestern U. law professor often said that James R. Thompson was her 'TEACHER' which was odd, since she was technically Jim Thompson's teacher and he supposedly was her student.

Inbau archives
"...relationships often developed into friendships is evidenced by the greeting cards and personal letters exchanged between Inbau and these students and colleagues. "Judges and Justices with whom Inbau corresponded between 1982 and 1996 included David Souter, Antonin Scalia, Clarence Thomas, and John Paul Stevens."
Page 3, paragraph 4. [Northwestern University Archives, Evanston Illinois, Fred E. Inbau, (1909-1998) Papers, 1930-1998, Series 17/28, boxes 1-21, including two half-size boxes and one slide case.
DHB Execs In Deep - Forbes.com
http://www.trentonian.com
"CENTRAL ISLIP, N.Y. (AP) - Two former top executives of the leading supplier of body armor to the U.S. military were indicted today on charges of insider trading, fraud and tax evasion in a scheme that netted them nearly $200 million, federal prosecutors said.
David H. Brooks, 53, the former CEO of DHB Industries Inc., and Sandra Hatfield, 54, the former chief operating officer, were charged in a superseding indictment with manipulating DHB's financial records to increase earnings and profit margins, thereby inflating the price of DHB's stock.
"Corporate executives who line their own pockets at the expense of their shareholders flaunt the responsibilities they owe their companies and the investing public," U.S. Attorney Benton J. Campbell said in a statement."
I wonder what the general public thinks about these corporate execs. only getting slaps on the wrists instead of prison time like the rest of the general public? Walk the walk.
