WASHINGTONThe federal prosecutor investigating the alleged involvement of White House officials in the leak of a CIA operative's identity spent most of the lunch hour today meeting with the chief judge of the federal district court in the nation's capital, Judge Thomas Hogan.
As reporters massed outside an elevator lobby leading to the grand jury rooms, the special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, apparently slipped out a back exit to conduct the noontime meeting with Judge Hogan.
Mr. Fitzgerald declined to comment as he and a colleague emerged from the judge's chambers just before 1 p.m.
The prosecutor's visit to the chief judge could signal that Mr. Fitzgerald is seeking to extend the term of the grand jury that has been investigating the leak. Judge Hogan would need to approve any extension to the grand jury's term, which was set to expire on Friday....

Waiting til the 11th hour for an extension shows just how weak this whole thing is.

Fitzgerald has nothing. This is tantamount to an admission.
Gonzales should shut down this investigation.

An extension? Would this shyster please get the suspense over with? I know the MSM needs more rumor and gossip for filler but jeeeez.

If that a@@hole can't figure it out by now, he is one of the most lame prosecutors in history. What a pure nut case. All he is doing is keeping his name on the MSM for political or ego building.

It is possible that Mr. Fitzgerald's visit was to discuss how court personnel would cope with the indictment and arraignment of high-profile White House officials.They are positively frothing at the mouth. Here's hoping they are in for a huge letdown.

Put an end to the charade. Fitzgerald's investigation is looking more and more like an Aruba-style investigation that checks on the barn after the horses are gone. Reports about FBI questioning neighbors of Plame YESTERDAY indicate a botched investigation.

Boy, what a spectacle this is.
Just a feeling, mind you, but it doesn't look like this will end well for the White House.
I just don't see the problem here. Everybody in town knew this woman worked at Langley. Hell, even I knew and I'm not in the media any longer(thank God for that).

This is his attempt to wear down one or two people who are standing their ground. It wouldn't work for me but maybe it's his only hope.
I had understood that it has to be all 12 to vote for indictment. Anyone know if that is correct?
To: inpajamas
Good grief,how many more years does he need?

Perhaps he was meeting with the Chief Judge to say--that's all folks...I'm done and no indictments??
Works for me...

Fitzy doesn't even have a ham sandwich to indict.
Hope the Judge closes this farce now.

Inuendo, supposition, and a salivating MSM.

That's a pretty bold statement for something based entirely upon speculation. What is your interest in never knowing what the facts are?
