Fitzgerald In The House

Special prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald is at work this morning. And the grand jury commences at 9:00 a.m.

The buzz enamanating from the White House and from Republicans this morning is softer than last night, when the internal scuttlebutt was that a major White House figure -- perhaps in the Vice President's office -- had been notified about a pending indictment.

A sign of the times: indictment talk was the currency of conversation last night at the Republican National Committee fundraiser. [MARC AMBINDER]
