Now, Don't Get Your Hopes Up, But . . .

. . . this can only be viewed as a good sign: Special Counsel Patrick J. Fitzgerald has just launched his own web site.

I really doubt he would do something like this unless he's planning on indicting a few people in the very near future. As Froomkin notes:

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."
