Published reports says key witnesses in her alledged insider trading case are re-interviewed.

A published report Tuesday said federal investigators are again turning up the pressure on the possible insider trading case involving lifestyle diva Martha Stewart.

The New York Daily News reported two sources familiar with the probe as saying several key witnesses have been asked to re-answer questions in recent days by investigators in Manhattan United States Attorney James Comey's office.

That indicates that Comey is preparing to make up his mind whether he will file criminal charges against Ms. Stewart, sources told the paper.

Shouldn't be long now..

Too bad Comey isn't this tenacious with Pardongate...

[Wright is right!]

If she'd just come clean instead of clintoning...this would have been over months ago with a small fine.

Can't wait for a potential live trial of Martha doing Clintonian obfuscating..

Martha is in hot water with a pinch of salt.

I don't think they ever seriously wanted to pursue that mess.

Not a good thing ping!

Yep, six months more, tops. It never moves like you'd hope it would.

I still have questions about the FDA employee who initially let the info on the drug "slip".

Who did Martha murder?

Prosecute Malvo and Muhammed.

Prosecute Kenneth Lay, Ted Kennedy, and Jimmy Carter.

Leave Martha alone.
