Well, well, well. I admit, I love reading Froomkin's column every day. Today's has a very interesting development:
Special prosecutor Patrick J. Fitzgerald has just launched his own brand-new Web site.OK, OK, we won't read anything in to this. Sure we won't. This is like when your parents put the really big present under the tree.
Could it be that he's getting ready to release some new legal documents? Like, maybe, some indictments? It's certainly not the action of an office about to fold up its tents and go home.
Fitzgerald spokesman Randall Samborn minimized the significance of the Web launch in an interview this morning.
"I would strongly caution, Dan, against reading anything into it substantive, one way or the other," he said. "It's really a long overdue effort to get something on the Internet to answer a lot of questions that we get . . . and to put up some of the documents that we have had ongoing and continued interest in having the public be able to access."
OK, OK. But will the Web site be used for future documents as well?
"The possibility exists," Samborn said.
OK, OK, we just want to read the indictments here next week. Because that grand jury expires one week from today. Please, please, please....
