79. I agree, Fitzgerald used ONLY what was needed to prosecute
his case against Libby and kept everything from the wider investigation out of the hands of the defense team and those who would be MOST interested to know what else Fitzgerald discovered during the investigation. Fitzgerald has not said the investigation is closed, the only comment he has made on this is from his press conference announcing the indictment of Libby:

MR. FITZGERALD: Let me answer the two questions you asked in one. Okay. Is the investigation finished? It's not over but I'll tell you this -- very rarely do you bring a charge in a case that's going to be tried and would you ever end a Grand jury investigation. I can tell you the substantial bulk of the work in this investigation is concluded. This Grand jury's term has expired by statute. It could not be extended. But it's an ordinary course to keep a Grand jury open to consider other matters and that's what we'll be doing.

This quote can be found on page 5 of the pdf numbering.
