Prosecutor Meets With Chief Judge
Could Signal That Fitzgerald Is Seeking Extension


WASHINGTON—The federal prosecutor investigating the alleged involvement of White House officials in the leak of a CIA operative's identity spent most of the lunch hour today meeting with the chief judge of the federal district court in the nation's capital, Judge Thomas Hogan.

As reporters massed outside an elevator lobby leading to the grand jury rooms, the special prosecutor, Patrick Fitzgerald, apparently slipped out a back exit to conduct the noontime meeting with Judge Hogan.

Mr. Fitzgerald declined to comment as he and a colleague emerged from the judge's chambers just before 1 p.m.

The prosecutor's visit to the chief judge could signal that Mr. Fitzgerald is seeking to extend the term of the grand jury that has been investigating the leak. Judge Hogan would need to approve any extension to the grand jury's term, which was set to expire on Friday.

7. Possibly seeking advice about indicting the VP

A US Vice President can be indicted while in office, but it is still a momentous step fraught with many national ramifications. Anybody would want to be able to have a sounding board for such an important decision.

Don't get your hopes up, but be prepared for highs and lows. Consulting about extension of the grand jury or empaneling a new one is the simplest explanation, but I think he can easily enough do that with his powers and may have done it in the past with this jury.
