When asked, Fitzgerald would not comment on whether “Official A” was Ryan.

But despite branding two of Ryan’s former top aides and his campaign committee as corrupt, Fitzgerald would not say if the investigation will eventually reach Ryan. The vast majority of the corruption uncovered so far happened under his watch when he was secretary of state from 1990 until 1998. The governor has not been accused by prosecutors of any wrongdoing in the past, and Tuesday’s indictments did not include him.
“I cannot answer that question,” Fitzgerald said when asked about any Ryan involvement. “We cannot discuss people not charged in the indictment.”

Stewart would send bills to Stanley and Doyle for bogus legal work Stewart never performed. Stanley and Doyle would “pay” for the work, when in fact they were passing along bribes through Stewart to Udstuen.
Stanley also allegedly passed bribes to Udstuen through another person, dubbed “Individual A” in the indictment, in a similar scheme. Individual A was a close friend of Udstuen’s and a social acquaintance of Stanley’s.
Very cool. Great catch.
“Official A,” huh?
Unnamed insiders have since stated that Official ‘A’ is Rove.

Fitzgerald gets A’s on everything except creativity in pseudonyms. “Official A” and “Individual A” are pretty dull compared to “Deep Throat.”
I actually think “Official A” has an appealing dryness to it.
It actually makes me think of “Hurricane Alpha.”
