Trick or Treat!
Hopefully it will be the Fitzmas present we have all been hoping for.The WaPo is carrying this report from Reuters:
Fitzgerald is expected to give final notice to officials facing charges as early as Monday and may convene the grand jury on Tuesday, a day earlier than usual, to deliver a summary of the case and ask for approval of the possible indictments, legal sources said. The grand jury is to expire on Friday unless Fitzgerald extends it.It's beginning to look a lot like Fitzmas.

While Fitzgerald could still charge administration officials with knowingly revealing Plame's identity, the lawyers said he appeared more likely to seek charges for easier-to-prove crimes such as making false statements, obstruction of justice and disclosing classified information. Fitzgerald could also bring a broad conspiracy charge.
Fitzgerald has sent several signals in recent days that he is likely to bring indictments in the case, lawyers say.
