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.
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.

Just looking at the website tells me one thing, it took all of about 5 minutes to create it. Of course. It's based on a pretty standard template you'll see throughout the DOJ. They just left off the left-side navigation.

Get real. Given that the Grand Jury's term expires next week, October 28, if Fitzgerald is planning on shutting down, why put up a website now?

I think the website has something to do with the federal Freedom of Information Act and the requests it generates. A website is a darned good way to clear the mice out of the office at very low cost.
The fact that it was done so late in the game suggests that Fitzgerald is preparing to shut down operations and does not wish to be distracted, particularly as winter closes in on the prairie West of the Windy City of Chicago, and it's vast horde of attorneys seek shelter.
