question: can fitz delivery indictments AND extend the grand jury?

[unblock]

or are indictments necessarily the last thing a grand jury does?

i would think that there would be many prosecutorial advantages to handing down indictments while still keeping options open on other charges and/or other targets.

1. He certainly can extend

It would be interesting to see how this plays out.

2. My grand jury did.

We indicted at the end of our 6-month term, changed our name and kept going for 2-1/2 more years.

3. Yes and yes. May justice prevail!

4. I don't think he can do both. I also do not think he's going to

extend the GJ. Disturbing as the MSM is most of the time, they do have access to a lot better legal minds than mine. Last week they all were saying they didn't think Fitz was going to extend the GJ because he hadn't filed any requests yet.

I don't know anything about these requests, but it sure sounded like he would have to allow a little time to get one authorized. Time is running out, the web site's up...naw, we'll hear something in the nest day or so.

5. I've been wondering the same thing

it's reassuring to hear he can, I don't want to see a player slip the noose.

7. In other words, can we have our Fitzmas pudding, and eat it too?

I'm guessing no. Because if there's one thing old sayings teach us, is that you can't "have" something and "eat" it at the same time! :shrug:
