When does a prosecutor announce indictments? Right after the vote?
I heard the next meeting of the GJ is to be Wednesday. I know this investigation is close to conclusion. If a vote by the GJ is taken on Wed. would Fitz announce the indictments right after that, or do prosecutors wait for a few days?

I'm pretty familiar with the judicial system, but I know very little about GJs.

1. Could they have already voted for indictments?

2. I thought Gonzalez had to OK the indictments first?

3. Gonzales is out of the picture.
When Fitz was appointed, he was given the powers of an AG, so he doesn't report to anyone.

5. Gonzales has recused himself from the Rove/Plame case.
