I believe this "new" grand jury was impaneled after the Libby indictment and don't know who long they can serve. I'm sure there is a time limit but have no idea what it is.
I worry they are from the belly of the liberal beast, DC, and as the saying goes, "will indict a ham sandwich".
I agree, because they already have (the Libby indictment). Best read on this whole "case" is at the justoneminute web site, if you haven't visited it, its well worth it.
The only thing I know about the current grand jury, is that it is handling other things, and is not just dedicated to the Libby case, as I believe the other one was. I do recall from the presser, that Fitzy said everything would be finished in a "few months", but then that was before Woodward stepped forward and said WHOAH FITZY, I was told about Plame by someone, not LIbby. Fitzy knows who the leaker is and is protecting that individual for some reason. I still don't get it; Libby being persecuted for "lies" when no crime was committed (protection of UGO for leaking Plame's name). It all boils down to the seeming fact that this whole incident is a political witch hunt by Fitzy, in coordination with Wilson and the DNC.
Oh well, if it goes to trial, I will look forward to seeing Dim Russert on the stand with video's being played of the many lies he has told on MTP, to show the jury, that Russert is the liar.
