It's not going to be today....
I hope I'm wrong but I've read in several places that the Grand Jury meets tomorrow, not today. I don't see how any indictments could be issued without the GJ meeting.

There's only two possibilities for it happening today:

1) The GJ already issued the indictments on Friday (unlikely)

2) Fitz will ask for a special meeting of the GJ today. I think we would know about it by now if that were happening.

Without one of these two events, I don't think there will be any indictments today. Tomorrow looks more likely. I would think the announcment would be shortly after the GJ meets tomorrow.

1. Supposedly Fitzgerald asked the GJ to convene today
which would be out of the ordinary for him to do that and is the reason many of speculated that something would happen today.

3. I read that too, they were meeting Monday and Tuesday.
I would think that he would want to give himself a couple of days of leeway in case something weird happened.

12. don't you think it would be widely reported if they met?
I would think Raw Story would be all over it. Or at least one article we could reference. So far I've only heard that someone mentioned it on DU...

13. Not today, according to MSNBC
David Shuster was at the courthouse this morning and said that neither Fitzgerald nor the grand jury was there today. He said some lawyers had speculated they would meet today, but that wasn't the case.

2. I'll put some coffee and sandwiches out for him.
I'll see his sleigh with eight tiny law clerks and check under the tree for indictments.

4. I don't think we'd necessarily know about a special session

considering how well-shielded the grand jury proceedings have been...

8. Most likely tomorrow or Thursday
Grand juries like to get together and socialize a bit to say goodbye on their last day. But it's not uncommon for a grand jury to issue an indictment at 4 pm on their last day.
