Fitzgerald's Offfice Space & Who Gets Indicted?

TheWashingtonNote: "Fitzgerald's people said that the investigation is coming to a close and the establishment of a website going up was just coincidence. Well, news has just reached TWN that Fitzgerald is expanding not only into a new website -- but also into more office space. What I have learned is that the Office of the Special Counsel has signed a lease this wk for expanded office space. More office space needed to shut down the operation? I think not. Fitz's operation is expanding." From WashPost: "People close to Rove said he fears a perjury charge because he did not initially tell the grand jury that he had spoken w/ Time reporter Matt Cooper about Plame before her name was publicly disclosed... Rove's legal team has been engaged in a furious effort to convince the prosecutor that Rove did not commit perjury during the course of the investigation. Sources, who indicated that the effort intensified in recent wks, said Rove still did not know Weds night whether he would be indicted." Well, Toady Rove may be sweating bullets, and according to Think Progress: Time Mag’s Mike Allen on Hardball: "Fitz got some indictments from this grand jury... Fitz can now go to the targets and say, you can plead to these or I’ll go back Fri and get more. You have 12 to 24 hrs to think about it." What I think is up: There will be an extension of the grand jury or new one impaneled. A) one of those indicted now will flip later and implicate someone new and new indictments will be needed or B) there are new areas that have been uncovered during the investigation and this grand jury is burned out and Fitz needs fresh jury. We'll find out Friday.
