Wasn't the grand jury disbanded on this thing?

[Chuck54]

I think Fitzgerald and Ronnie Earle are pretty close kin.

[oceanview]

not sure what this is about - maybe she is testifying about something that is putting Cooper's claims in doubt?

[oceanview]

there is another one in place.

[Chuck54]

Yeah, the old GJ was, but good old Fitz has empaneled another. Shop till you indict.

[CaptainK]

Did he impanel another one? I thought that was only speculation.

[Chuck54]

I do believe he has, or will in the near future, have a new grand jury in place. Two years and nothing, but he's still trying.

Woodward peed him off and he is mad as hell. Personally I don't think he knows what in hell is going on.

[woofie]

I think this could all be cleared up with a bit of tea and a group hug

[Zuben Elgenubi]

"Personally I don't think he knows what in hell is going on."

Well, that makes two of us.

[oceanview]

you'll see Rove called in again to testify - and again and again. that's how these perjury traps work - just keeping getting more testimony from more people lined up, bring in Rove and confront him with it each time, and when he says something that is at odds with a previous witness, get a jury that is demographically inclined to nail any republican anyway, to indict.

[p23185]

Two years and nothing, but he's still trying.

He has to keep trying 'cause Wilson is hot on the impeachment trail

joey wilson wants impeachment.

[RichardW]

If the jury is as confused as I have become they'll never unravel this thing.

[woofie]

I saw the prosecutor's statement..... it has something to do with baseball

[Mike Darancette]

Why does Rove need help? Is the WAPO trying to drum up a controversy or are they just trying to send a message to Fitzmas.

[dalight]

Time to get a special prosecutor to investigate Fitzgerald. This is lame and stupid.. and he really should be brought up on discipline for this whole fiasco.

Congress should act to put a plug in this sort of investigation.. when the underlying crime doesn't exist.. the prosecutor should have to close the case and move on.

[calex59]

Yep, that's the Dems for you, just keep plugging until you find something, if you can't find it make it up!

[jacquej]

Do we know if he has the right Novak? Maybe Fitzie has gotten them confuzzled.

[Rippin]

What does Rove need a "Defense" for? Was he charged with something?

[woofie]

Nope...but I hear rumors that he bites the heads off live chickens
