I heard this very early this morning but was waiting on Fitz's filing.
Patrick Fitzgerald's office filed a motion today seeking a 90 day extension of time to indict Rod Blagojevich. According to the motion (no link presently available):
The government has been conducting a diligent and thorough investigation in this case, but the investigation includes multiple defendants and potential defendants as well as thousands of intercepted phone calls, and additional factors warranting an extension of time (as cited in the government’s Attachment) exist. The government cannot complete its investigation and appropriately conclude the investigation within the time allowed under Section 3161(b) of the Speedy Trial Act as currently extended.
Here is Fitz's filing.
