Fitzgerald gets new grand jury in leak case

[KipWellsFan]

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald said in court filings that the ongoing

CIA leak investigation will involve proceedings before a new grand jury, a possible sign he could seek new charges in the case.

 

In filings obtained by Reuters on Friday, Fitzgerald said "the investigation is continuing" and that "the investigation will involve proceedings before a different grand jury than the grand jury which returned the indictment" against Vice President

Dick Cheney's chief of staff, Lewis "Scooter" Libby.

I know this was a big deal on Friday and people were getting excited again at the prospect at more indictments

 

But didnt Fitzgerald say at the one press Conference for the Libby deal that the investigation wasnt over and that we would need a new Grand Jury because the other GJ had the be released form the duties because they just ran out of time

Yes, there is a seated grand jury ready to hear evidence. And Woodward was deposed Mondey I think, so once the new GJ gets read in on all of the past GJ testimony I'm sure they will be presented with the Woodward deposition as a starting point.

The British press is saying that tomorrow's NYT is going to break a story confirming that Hadley was in fact Woodward's source as had been widely speculated last week. The story is from Michael Smith of Downong Memo fame.

 

If Hadley has testified before the First Fitz GJ then obviously he did not reveal his contact with oodword in this issue. That's a purjery indictment right there regardless of whether his lawyars weasel him out of the leak rap on a a legal technicality.
