Is there going to be another Fitzgerald filing today?
I thought I heard something like that on Countdown last night. Couple of hints from yesterday's Times:

"With more filings expected from Mr. Fitzgerald, the prosecutor's work has the potential to keep the focus on Mr. Bush and Mr. Cheney at a time when the president is struggling with his lowest approval ratings since he took office."

"Mr. Fitzgerald said he was preparing to turn over to Mr. Libby 1,400 pages of handwritten notes - some presumably in Mr. Libby's own hand - that could shed light on two very different efforts at getting out the White House story. One effort - the July 18 declassification of the major conclusions of the intelligence estimate - was taking place in public, while another, Mr. Fitzgerald argues, was happening in secret, with only Mr. Bush, Mr. Cheney and Mr. Libby involved."

Did I hear Countdown right?

2. NBC says yes...

http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/3626796/

<snip>

NBC's Joel Seidman advises to expect another court filing today by lawyers for former Cheney chief of staff Lewis "Scooter" Libby in response to last week's filing by special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald, and that the response may result in further questions about the White House's activities around the time of Ambassador Joe Wilson's criticism of the Administration's WMD-based case for going to war in Iraq.

3. There's rumor of a filing anyway.
I don't expect another bombshell out of Fitzgerald.

4. I have a feeling that last weeks filing by Fitz was a set up for ...
something coming down the road. I don't know what or how but I just get this feeling Fitz is trying to manipulate someone.

8. None but Fitz strikes me as poker player.
He's trying to get someone to incriminate themselves or someone else. I don't see why he would file something unless there was some gain of some kind for his case.

10. I have felt the same way all along.
I believe that he has known most of the truth for quite some time.
But he is carefully matching wits with his prey. And I do believe
it is beginning to work. I can tell you one thing for sure,
there is a great deal going on behind the scenes!

9. Will they post the 1,400 pages of notes that they're going to provide
Libby with copies of?

Talk about a data-mining bonanza!

11. doubtful, only the actual motions. jusdgments ect.. make it to print
this is a site that holds all Federal Documents, civil, criminal, bankrupt. ect.... So they only put the filings, motions, judgments ect.. on the site, probably to keep the data down, also I think that those pages that you are referring to would be classified as evidence and that would be stored and resourced through other avenues.

Just my opinion ;)
