Fitzgerald to get a new Grand Jury.
From Bloomberg, Woodward Role Alters CIA Leak Timeline, May Not Undermine Case:
Washington Post journalist Bob Woodward's disclosure that he learned the identity of an undercover CIA agent more than two years ago adds an unexpected new element to the indictment of Vice President Dick Cheney's top aide without greatly altering the substance of the case...From ABC News' The Note, The Fitzgerald investigation:
"The impact on the case is probably minimal," former Deputy Attorney General Eric Holder said. "The question before the jury will be whether Libby lied, and whether or not Bob Woodward had a conversation about Plame with another source doesn't have a great impact on the determination the jurors will be making."
Prosecutors deposed Woodward in anticipation of presenting that evidence to a new grand jury, according to a person familiar with the situation. And that is exclusive new news, courtesy of Dow Jones.
The Journal also floats the possibility that the Woodward and Novak source is the same person.
