Patrick Fitzgerald is a Justice Department prosecutor responsible for the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's Chief of Staff Lewis 'Scooter' Libby. Fitzgerald heartlessly made Libby a political prisoner, sentencing him to a round of golf in a hellish, extra-minimum-security gulag. He appeared live via tape delay from the previous Friday's press conference on the October 31, 2005 edition of The Colbert Report to answer Stephen's questions and to help Stephen show other reporters how to get the job done.
