Breaking News

This just in. No, not that Harriet Miers withdrew her nomination for Supreme Court (that's so this morning).

The news is that there is no news to report on the Plame Leak case. For a truly humorous take on this, the Daily Show provides it's version of Breaking News!

As the Ladies who Lunch already know (via The Washington Note), word is that Office of the Special Counsel has signed a lease this week for expanded office space across the street at 1401 New York Avenue, NW. This follows news from the Note that Fitzgerald's Office has started a new website: US Department of Justice, Office of Special Counsel.

Also, if you're really into the gossip end of the story, The Raw Story is reporting that at least one indictment has already been obtained and that the "prosecutor has obtained new information from officials targeted in the leak probe, who are now interested in entering into plea discussions . . . [and they] have agreed to enter into last-minute plea negotiations with Fitzgerald in exchange for providing testimony that could result in criminal charges being brought against additional officials inside the White House."

Sounds like Fitzgerald has become fond of D.C. and wants to hang around for a while longer. Stay tuned.

UPDATE: Not so re: the new digs for Fitzgerald. See Retraction: The Washington Note. I guess that's why they call it gossip.
