Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has just launched his own brand-new Web site.

Could it be that he's getting ready to release some new legal documents? Like, maybe, some indictments? It's certainly not the action of an office about to fold up its tents and go home.

Fitzgerald spokesman Randall Samborn minimized the significance of the Web launch in an interview this morning.

"I would strongly caution, Dan, against reading anything into it substantive, one way or the other," he said. "It's really a long overdue effort to get something on the Internet to answer a lot of questions that we get . . . and to put up some of the documents that we have had ongoing and continued interest in having the public be able to access."

OK, OK. But will the Web site be used for future documents as well?

"The possibility exists," Samborn said.

Among the documents currently available on the site:

Lefties are ecstatic about it. But speculation about this is premature. And if Fitzgerald is going to address the implications of this, well... Click through to WaPo article for link to Fitzgerald's site.

Just looking at the website tells me one thing, it took all of about 5 minutes to create it. I wouldn't be jumping around like the Washington Compost is about it.

To be a successful liberal prosecuter today, you got sell, sell,sell! I can't wait until he starts hawking the merchandise.

Actually, its not inconsistent with that action at all, when you consider the barrage of criticism, complaining and slander the office is going to face, from those like the Washington Post, if it has decided to decline to indict anybody.

No Problem. Doesn't look very exciting though.

uh, isn't this the website of the office of the Special Counsel

Could it also be, though, where Fitzgerald will post some sort of a clearing house for information to keep the left wing media at bay and clear up many of their false allegations?

Isn't facinating how this article is almost lustful in hope? When it comes to DemonRats and the media trying to get a Republican, there's usually a lot of premature speculation that occurs among them.

[Shermy]

Those two documents have been on other web sites for a year and a half.

[ClaireSolt]

It is all about Miller and Cooper testifying.

Of course. It's based on a pretty standard template you'll see throughout the DOJ. They just left off the left-side navigation.

what was it that justice thomas said ? electronic something.

Remember that Ken Starr had a website, and look where it got him.
