Plame Grand Jury Adjourns

UPDATE:

Jeff over at the Bernoulli Effect has a great post on Fitzgerald and why we should be confident he will not be trying to create the case for leftwing conspiracists – per his friend Andrew McCarthey. This is a more good news in my opinion.

END UPDATE

Well, that was short – half a day.

The federal grand jury investigating the leak of a CIA officer’s identity met for three hours Wednesday with Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald and his deputies, adjourning for the day without announcing any action.

After the grand jury left for the day, federal prosecutors conferred for about an hour in the grand jury area of the federal courthouse.

There was no word on whether Fitzgerald planned to make any announcement or when the grand jury planned to meet again.

Most of the interesting tidbits from the day can be found in this earlier post I have been adding to all day. Interesting point here

Fitzgerald and the grand jurors entered the courthouse around 9 a.m. EDT, with just three days left before the jury’s term is set to expire. The timing on any decision is uncertain, however. It is possible for Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan to extend the life of the grand jury at Fitzgerald’s request. Such a step would be taken in secret.

Well, until Friday anyway.

Hat Tip to our reader Ordi!
