Why Was Plamegate Prosecutor Fitzgerald at Office of Bush's Personal Lawyer Friday?

Good question. From Josh Marshall at Talking Points Memo:

Anyone have any insight on this graf from 'Libby Charged' article in today's Times?
    Mr. Fitzgerald was spotted Friday morning outside the office of James Sharp, Mr. Bush's personal lawyer. Mr. Bush was interviewed about the case by Mr. Fitzgerald last year. It is not known what discussions, if any, were taking place between the prosecutor and Mr. Sharp. Mr. Sharp did not return a phone call, and Mr. Fitzgerald's spokesman, Randall Samborn, declined to comment.
Remember, in his capacity as president, Mr. Bush's lawyer is Harriet Miers, the White House Counsel. This is his personal lawyer. In fact, I believe Sharp was hired particularly for this case.
