Prosecutor in CIA-Leak Inquiry
Meets With Grand Jury, Judge

Special Prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald met with the grand jury in the Central Intelligence Agency-leak investigation for three hours, starting the process of seeking indictments against White House officials.

After meeting with the grand jury yesterday, Mr. Fitzgerald met with U.S. District Judge Thomas Hogan in his chambers for 45 minutes. The meeting could be significant because prosecutors need to hand up indictments to a judge before they are sealed or publicly released. Judge Hogan has been the principal judicial overseer of the case.

The grand jury is scheduled to meet again Friday, the final day of its term, raising the scenario that Mr. Fitzgerald won't announce charges until then. Alternatively, Mr. Fitzgerald could announce some charges today and the rest tomorrow.

1. Plus, Fitz apparently just signed a lease on a larger office space in D.C.

2. Check out the pics in Stephanie's thread from earlier:

The first pics shows Fitz leaving the courthouse emptyhanded and the last one is of Fitz entering the courthouse. He must have delivered the judge his copies of the indictments.

5. Another reason for meeting with the judge that I heard mentioned today

is to schedule a meeting with the GJ tomorrow, which is out of their normal scheme. To change the GJ schedule requires approval of de judge. Pretty sure I heard this as one of three potential reasons why Fitz met with Hogan today.
