Strange.

[H2O Man]

I didn't think that the grand jury normally met on Thursdays. But at the top of the hour, a reporter on MSNBC said they were supposed to get together today. Did she make an error, did I hear her wrong, or is today a little different than other Thursdays? Could they be preparing something?

If I were a progressive journalist in the Washington area, I think I'd take a stroll in that direction.

[crispini]

1. Eeee!! eee! EEEE!

Somebody please throw a bucket of cold water on me.

[Walt Starr]

2. This Grand Jury has previsouly only met on...

Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.

Is Fitzgerald in town by any chance?

[Connie_Corleone]

3. Maybe it was a mistake.

They meet on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays.

Of course, I won't complain if they are meeting today, if you know what I mean. LOL.

[H2O Man]

12. Of course

they usually don't have to contact targets. Even if they are meeting today, it doesn't mean any public announcements will come. Be nice to have a good journalist to keep us informed.

If I were a progressive reporter, I know I'd go by that court house, and watch who comes and goes. Might be something very interesting going on today.

[mod mom]

4. I read earlier that Wayne Madsen said today. I thought it was MWF also.

[notadmblnd]

11. it would be nice, if events that were written about earlier today

were to occur. I not mention anything specific, I'll just keep watching and listening.

[McKenzie]

5. Damn! Indictment Fever breaks out en masse n/t

[Walt Starr]

7. Only if Fitzgerald is in D.C. today.

I'm seeing if I can find out whether or not he's in his Chicago office...

[Boredtodeath]

6. Yesterday, reporters were saying Friday

I heard it several times on the TV that they GJ wouldn't meet again until Friday.

Not that we can rely on a reporter getting a story correct..........

[Cults4Bush]

8. Oh boy we need a confirmation on that... wrong or right?

If she's right what does that bode if anything at all.

[Walt Starr]

10. If she's right it could mean a lot of different things, but no indictments

if Fitzgerald is not in town.

If they are meeting and Fitzgerald is not in town, absolutely no chance of indictments.

If the are meeting AND Fitzgerald is in town, possibility of indictments.

[Cults4Bush]

20. Thanks Walt that was what my mind was trying to sort out.

Nothing but pins and needles here.

[seshers]

9. Please can anyone confirm this

I will leave work immediately

[tex-wyo-dem]

13. Can't find any reference to this on MSNBC or CNN. (n/t)

[Lone_Star_Dem]

14. I love the suspence... I really do!

I've really gotten into the Fitzmas spirit. I'm poking and prodding the sealed gifts under the tree. Shaking them to see if they rattle, even sniffing to see if they pass the smell test.

I think the most tantalizing part of this holiday season is that I don't know for sure what day Fitzmas falls on. I was originally guessing tomorrow, but know it may not happen until next week.. or even not at all. I hadn't even entertained the idea that it may fall on a day I wasn't expecting.

[H2O Man]

16. The public announcement

may likely be next week. But there are other activities that will have to happen before then. I believe that those who will be indicted are notified before the public announcements. I'd be keeping an eye out for who leaves the building, and where they go.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

18. If I only lived near there

I'd be camping out across the street with my thermos and my lawn chair. Just like in the old days waiting for tickets to go on sale for a big show.

[crispini]

17. Me too.

It's really sort of fun. We should have a surprise holiday EVERY year! Just sort of randomly pick a day -- keep it secret -- and then drop all kinds of hints about it -- and then one morning you wake up and SURPRISE!

That would be wickedly cool.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

19. Now there's an idea!

Can we prosecute evil politicians each year on our special day? Hmmm, please, can we? :bounce:

[annabanana]

21. I like it.. what should we call it

National Indictment Day?

[kohodog]

22. Think any deals are being cut today?

Anybody who can plead down to a misdemeanor probably will in exchange for information. Fitz will need plenty when these cases go to trial.

Whenever they may be announced, it certainly appears we are in the endgame.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

32. I think it is probably too late for deals.

I think it is probably too late for deals. Fitzgerald probably has all he needs.

[Lone_Star_Dem]

23. Or maybe... Retribution Day?

Either way, it sure would change the way politics are played out in this country. :D

[nookiemonster]

24. LOL! I'll call Hallmark post haste!!

eom

:)

[rucky]

26. Five years of it! n/t

[AlCzervik]

15. Their next meeting would have normally been on Friday so this could

be big if it is true.

[Scout1071]

25. They have been mtg on Wednesdays and Fridays until now.

Strange days indeed. Most peculiar mama, whoa!

[Oilwellian]

27. I heard on the news ....

The grand jury met yesterday and just sat and waited. Perhaps Fitzgerald spent the day dotting his "I's" and crossing his "T's." If he's looking at 22 files, perhaps it took longer than expected to get everything in order for the GJ.

[crispini]

29. Wow. GJ met yesterday and just SAT?

I hadn't heard that. Must mean Fitz is really thinking hard about what to do.

[H2O Man]

30. Possibly

Fitzgerald was meeting with two other people while the grand jury waited.

[NoBushSpokenHere]

31. Plea bargaining? n/t

[earth mom]

28. The suspense is killing me. eom
