Fitzgerald Files for a New Grand Jury

The investigation into the Plame leak will, despite the prognostications of a range of commentators, in fact move forward and expand, according to today’s news that Special Counsel Fitzgerald has requested a new grand jury. According to the court filing, “…The investigation will involve proceedings before a different grand jury than the grand jury which returned the indictment”…against Mr. Libby. In addition to the information, the filing also references a change in Mr. Fitzgerald’s decision to keep documents related to the case from public access.
