At 12:15 PM Pacific time, U.S. Attorney Carol Lam will hold a press conference on a “criminal matter,” according to a press release.

She’s expected to announce the indictment of Kyle “Dusty” Foggo, the former #3 at the CIA, and Brent Wilkes, a defense contractor accused of bribing Duke Cunningham and the prime benefactor of the secret CIA contracts that have landed his best buddy Foggo in trouble.

But there’s some added drama in that Lam will holding the presser, since she is one of the seven federal prosecutors forced out by the administration in December. The Wall Street Journal earlier reported that she’d ordered her staff to have Wilkes and Foggo indicted before her last day — this Thursday.
