the time frame for this coming to a conclusion was not one year - it was more like one month. everyone had talked about the Fitzgerald grand jury wrapping up in October - either way.
I agree with you on the GJ timing. I was speaking more of the total package...Frist, DeLay, Rita, Plamegate, Abramoff. Who knows what may come up in the future, but I'd rather have all of this come up now rather than 2 months before elections. Some people make it like the sky is falling.
