It’s all over but the — jailing? A report today from Murray Waas, a longtime investigative reporter, suggests that Patrick J. Fitzgerald, the special prosecutor investigating the Valerie Plame/CIA leak affair, recently informed a federal court that his investigation has been “for all practical purposes complete” since October 2004.
In this account, all he’s waiting for is the coerced testimony of New York Times reporter Judith Miller and Time magazine’s Matthew Cooper. They have been under contempt charges for months and may be sent to jail soon if they continue to refuse to testify before a federal grand jury.
Waas, writing at The American Prospect's Web site, said he found Fitzgerald’s statement in court papers the prosecutor filed on March 22, but which went unreported.
