Wilson/Plame Civil Lawsuit a sign that the Federal Investigation is over?

[Postman]

Or is it irrelevant?

I'm wondering why they are going after Cheney, Libby, et al now..

Why didn't they do this earlier? Do they know that the Fitz Investigation is not going to go anywhere so they filed a civil suit?

1. I believe it was always their intention to wait

2. The statute of limitations runs out midnight tomorrow.

I think that's very relevant to any assumptions made.

3. linky for statute or explain it a little more

I wasn't aware of a statute for filing a civil suit on this.

Thank you in advance

it's a civil-suit statute of limitations question.
Recognize tomorrow's date?
