WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald said he will have to bring more information before a new grand jury in the CIA leak probe, adding that his work is not complete.
In a new court filing, Fitzgerald said sensitive information from his investigation still needs to be protected, especially since proceedings will involve a different jury than the one that indicted former Lewis Libby, chief of staff for Vice President Dick Cheney.
The panel hearing that part of the inquiry expired that day.
Fitzgerald does not say that new charges definitely will be brought. Instead, the filing discusses what rules govern disclosure of information to the media regarding evidence in the case against Libby.

COLIN POWELL
NRO suggests that it may be Walter Pincus who is in trouble for false testimony this time.
The great irony is that Libby will probably get sprung because of Pincus (of all people) and Fitz has to subpoena him because Woodward has made the whole thing so public. Remember-behind every federal crime, if followed to its logical source, is a lying liberal.
And Fitz's "investigation", at this point, consists of reading blogs and MSM for clues. Your tax dollars at work.
Fitz's "work" won't be over until after the 2006 or perhaps even the 2008 elections.
Woodward has said "a former SENIOR member of the administration"..
It's POWELL - I would bet my left arm on it.
He has been a Woodward leaker for years....
Were I Libby's Lawyer I would enter a motion for dismissal based on the fact that Fitzgerald withheld exculpatory evidence from the GJ baring that push for a quick trial. Don't let Fitzgerald use the new GJ against you.
IIRC a grand jury is used for two purposes (1) A GJ can compel testimony that an investigator cannot and (2) return an indictment against an individual (ham sandwich). I think that using a GJ to compel testimony against an indicted person is reprehensible since there is no cross examination allowed.
No, sorry, this has been reported a couple of times today.
Check other posts. It's Ari Fleischer. He didn't do it on purpose.
Fitzgerald wants a mulligan.
May this time he'll actually put Joe Wilson before the Grand Jury .
I see. I don't care if it's my post or not, my point was that it's a breaking news development .. FReepers are starting to get home from work.
Of course he needs to continue. How else is he going to get such a good retirement?
GIVE FITZ NO MORE $$$'S...THAT'LL SHUT THIS INSANE INVESTIGATION DOWN, THAT'S INVESTIGATING A NON-CRIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
B-I-N-G-O!
What 'bout RUSSERT? I think he's another perjurer...
The posters to this thread need to understand the following.
Fitz's wants to be the AG for the USA. If he can bring down the current adminstration, he will be number one in the eyes of the democrat party.
Now do you understand??
