9. There may be more indictments
but some of them will depend on events that are yet to happen.

If a fed prosecutor encounters any lying or obstruction when he's preparing for trial, he asks a GJ to indict the person in question.

I also believe that Fatboy Rove may yet be indicted based on things that have already happened.

I'd like to mention something interesting about a federal appeal I saw once: a lawyer had been convicted of a federal crime. He got some jail time, and appealed in an attempt to reduce the sentence (or to eliminate the jail time altogether). When the appeals had run their course (the feds answered his counsel's briefs, of course), and the smoke had cleared, the lawyer ended up with a LONGER jail sentence than he had originally been given.

Don't mess with the fed criminal prosecutors.
