The Fitzpatrick "Indictment Pool" Thread -- Make a Prediction

The effort is very simple. Pick the time (within 60 minutes)

If you don't think there will be indictments, shame on you, er...I mean, just don't respond.

This is just a pool for believers in Saint Pat and a modicum of justice.


My date: Tuesday, October 25th, 2005 at 9:00AM Eastern Time Zone


Winners will have the exclusive right to link to their message on this thread and brag ad nauseum as to their predictive abilities.

12. I know, I assume we have a covert agent here and the indictments
are dated 9/24. That little slip of the keyboard just let us in on the BIG SECRET!

6. Fitz will release the Indictments on Wednesday, 10/26 at 10:00 AM
In time for the noon news.

The MSM will pick it up on Friday 11/4 at 4:30 PM and bury it underneath the hurricane cleanup and upcoming Harriet Miers confirmation hearing stories.

FAUX will replay the Clinton deposition in the Paula Jones case :eyes:

28. Something to keep in mind
The grand jury does the indicting, not the prosecutor. According to info on a couple other threads, this grand jury usually meets on Wednesday and Friday, although with next week being the expiration of their term, usual procedure might change.

I also wonder if the pool is for the time of the indictments or the time of the announcement of the indictments.

In the other pool that was started last week (sorry, I can't find it now to give a link), I had yesterday but that was before we knew about Judy Miller's new-found "Wife works at Winpac" notebook. Right now I think Fitzgerald is waiting on forensic analysis of that suspicious notebook and that's the current hold-up; feel free to consider that a far-out speculation.

I'll brag ad nauseum if my predictions from early June in this thread come true:

32. Wow, this thread faded fast
A lot faster than the previous thread last week. I wonder why. Maybe most would-be predictors predicted last week. Maybe people aren't feeling confident now. Maybe they just don't like the prizes you offered?
