CIA leak prosecutor sees new grand jury proceedings
By Adam Entous 3 minutes ago
Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in court filings that the ongoing CIA leak investigation will involve proceedings before a new grand jury, a possible sign he could seek new charges in the case.
In filings obtained by Reuters on Friday, Fitzgerald said "the investigation is continuing" and that "the investigation will involve proceedings before a different grand jury than the grand jury which returned the indictment" against Vice President Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby.
Fitzgerald did not elaborate in the document. For two years he has been investigating the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity. The grand jury that indicted Libby expired after the charges were filed late last month.
President George W. Bush's top political adviser, Karl Rove, was not indicted along with Libby. But lawyers involved in the case said Rove remained under investigation and may still be charged.

Unbelievable. The new Javert.
Indictments will come just in time for either the 2006 or 2008 elections.
Think he'll call on Woodward to disclose who his source was?
A face-saving measure by Mr. Fitzgerald. The case against Libby is absurd. He was commissioned to investigate whether there was a leak of classified information in the outing of the Plame dame. There wasn't. That should have been the end of his investigation.
Reckon he's trying to stay in business as long as Ken Starr did?... Seems you can't get them out once appointed.
I think he's got egg on his face.....
Why isn't Woodward made to tell and prove who told him?
Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in court filings that the ongoing CIA leak investigation will involve proceedings before a new grand jury, a possible sign he could seek new charges in the case....For two years he has been investigating the leak of covert CIA operative Valerie Plame's identity.
The only reason I don't oppose the "independent prosecutor" concept is because most of the time, they are directed at agents and operative of FedGov, and time spent harassing their own is time they won't be spending harassing the rest of us.
From my reading of the law, this entire investigation should have taken at max two weeks.
I'd like to see Fitzgerald prosecuted for wasting the courts time on this nonsense.
Two years and $70 million and all he got is one guy who alledgedly lied to him about a non-event.
Maybe it's time to start burning some cars over here...
Chris Matthews just had an orgasm. He's devoted more time to this (get Bush agenda) than Greta did on Aruba.
Fitzgerald: "Mulligan"
