WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 - The special prosecutor in the C.I.A. leak case returned on Wednesday to the federal courthouse for an initial session with a new grand jury in the criminal inquiry.

The prosecutor, Patrick J. Fitzgerald, declined to comment on the nearly three-hour session. It was not clear whether he presented any evidence to the panel.

It was not publicly known why Mr. Fitzgerald met with the grand jury on Wednesday, but it is possible that he used the session to familiarize the grand jurors with the evidence.

He has not, for example, concluded his inquiry into the activities of Karl Rove, the senior Bush adviser. Mr. Rove, who testified on four occasions to the previous grand jury, has been under scrutiny over his belated recollection of a July 2003 conversation with a reporter for Time magazine about leak-related matters.

1. Could Fitz be asking them for indictments at this time?

Is this likely?

Some have speculated that R*ve will be indicted before the end of the year.

Fitzmas during the holidays.

2. He doesn't work in a hurry like that.

Patience will be rewarded.

Oh, how I relish the thought of more indictments.

Go, Mr. Fitzgerald, go.

5. "It was not clear whether he presented any evidence to the panel."

Really? He spent three hours with them. What are we suppose to think?--"We're going to go around the room and I want each of you to tell us your name and a little about yourself!"

on edit: OK, so what does he do with the rest of the 2 hours and 45 minutes?

6. Baseball analogies!

>OK, so what does he do with the rest of the 2 hours and 45 minutes?<

I'm kidding. :woohoo:

There were many briefcases full of evidence that made their way into that jury room. He didn't bring the stuff over there for no reason. Something's up. He also didn't visit those folks a scant two and a half weeks before Christmas for no reason. We'll see if the Luskin/Novak depositions are a missing puzzle piece.
