Will Fitzgerald Extend the Grand Jury?
The Wall Street Journal reports today (free article) that Special Counsel Patrick Fitzgerald could extend the term of the grand jury by six months. But there is little information other than speculation by outside lawyers as to whether he will.
The article also contains this statement.
Lawyers for both Mr. Rove and Mr. Libby said in recent days that prosecutors haven't told them their clients are targets of the investigation.
Would Fitzgerald notify the lawyers of their clients' changed status? I don't think so. Here are the rules from the U.S. Attorney's Manual on notification to targets.
