The original grand juries are long gone. Fitz got his ham sandwich/Libby indictment right at the expiration of a previous grand jury.
By the way, I imagine that when Judge Walton reads editorials like this one he just shakes his head and wonders what he has to do to keep his own reputation intact and not let Fitzgerald drag him down. It's a full time job for Walton, and I am sure he doesn't want it.
Is the judge allowed to read editorials covering cases under his jurisdiction? I know next to nothing about the law, so sorry if this is a dumb question.
You are right Lancey, the original grand jury did indict LIbby, then that gj expired. Fitzy then went to another gj just so he could keep open some aspect of his "investigation". I would agree with the poster who said poor Walton, reading an editorial like this must make him worry. Fitzy has made a fool of himself, and he is making a fool of Walton as well. The liberal biased media against the administration, and Fitzy goes with the media. This case should be dismissed, Fitzy should hang his head in shame.
