Springfield, IL—The Barack Obama Whitewash is in full swing and US Attorney, Patrick Fitzgerald is currently in the Tank for the President-elect. My sources in Chicago claim Fitzgerald is now looking out for Obama’s interests. The deal has already been made.
Now Fitzgerald has made quite a mess and before it’s all over whistleblowers within his own office may spill the beans. The only way out is for a real sweetheart deal where Governor Rod Blagojevich, shuts up, resigns and escapes prison. No hearings, no trials and no risk of exposing Obama or his minions to sunshine.
The lawyers for Tony Rezko are also in on this deal making that’s not about cooperating with testimony but silence.
Defense lawyer Ed Genson already knows that Fitzgerald does not want the information Blagojevich can provide about major corruption that extends straight to Obama and several members of his team. The goal is to discredit and silence Blagojevich while getting him out of the way.
Illinois cannot impeach anyone without affording them Due Process under our Fifth Amendment. That means Blagojevich has the absolute right to subpoena witnesses, the right to confront and cross-examine accusers.
Blagojevich also has the right to all related e-mails; phone records reports prior to any hearing. Despite posturing to the contrary they know that.
Nobody goes to jail and they all will live happily ever after…

LIST OF PEOPLE SO FAR BEING PROTECTED FROM SUBPOENAS

The first reason why none of these people even want to be subpoena is because they will be UNDER OATH when testifying.
But why would the U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald not only request that Gov. Blagojevich's request for these subjects to be subpoena be denied but also state it would jeopardize the current criminal case against Blago?
Something is very strange here. First you have Fitzgerald jumping the gun and exposing this investigation against Blago and rushing to indict him before Blago even ever accepts a bribe or complete an act that he was bribed to do.
There can only be one reason why this is all going on in my mind. U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald was protecting the first elected black president from participating in a criminal act that the wiretaps were reflecting was going to occur. Plain and simple. U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald fully knows what would of happened if Barack Obama was indicted and never sworn in as US President. Massive urban rioting that would of ran into billions of dollars of destruction across America.
There is no other reasonable explanation for all of U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald actions in this criminal case. The Feds and FBI never expose an investigation till they have you committing the alleged criminal act in full on wiretaps or video surveillance. Unless a course their is a planned murder involved. And even then the Feds have f..'d up in the past and allowed people to be killed during an investigation. Sometimes by negligence and sometimes by looking the other way. December 29, 2008 12:49 AM

The world famous Shave checking in there. I am impressed. But I also agree with crime fighter and shaved. The fix is in. And Obama is in this as deep as Blago.
~~My tinfoil hat must be on tight ‘cause this is making some sense .. PING!
Obama’s going to have to give Blago a presidential pardon or Fitz is going to have to find some way of dropping/blowing the case. Blago isn’t going to settle for anything less than clear skies and the cushy job/payoff he wanted in the first place.
That, or an Arkancide.
And under the circumstances, there’s no way that can be done without looking rotten and suspicious as hell with the whole world watching.

Fitz is derelict if he indicted without his case ready enough for this.
He’s either incompetent or something else..
That is hardly the Patrick Fitzgerald that I have read and heard about for years, to my understanding.
I have to ask myself how much more are the American people going to take? This is an expression of the absolute contempt that politicians have for the people.
It is as though they are saying that they do not care how unbelievable the B.S happens to be, we can’t do anything about it. I hate to say it , but they may be right.
I’ve always felt he’s a bulldog, but one who’s quirky and flawed .. gets a scenario in his head and works to make the outcome conform to his imagined script/motives.
There’s just something a bit off about him .. and proven again in that presser, where he totally overreached his ethical boundaries as a US Atty.
Fitzgerald or the other g-man in his press conference indicated that they were trying to get the Tribune to hold out longer, before running the story.
That was corroborated by a subsequent report.
Keep your coon-skin on, Star!

I would tie his overt characterization of Blago's sleaze to his repeated pleas for people in the know, to come forward. I believe that is a good sign for Fitz's intention.
Also, his clear reluctance to be shown as clearing Obama in the big presser.
Shucks, Kass even likes him.
LOL .... my coon-skin?
It was the “Lincoln would roll over...” etc., totally beyond the fringe comments he made .. characterizing them with bias, which is extremely unseemly and inappropriate for a US Atty, who is just supposed to lay out the facts.
Blago’s lawyer can challenge those descriptives legally, I think .. if it ever gets that far. That is poisoning the jury pool.
Yeah .. but I’m also suspicious of the Trib ... all of sudden they had to have this story out now, and told Fitzie so he could pull the trigger BEFORE the bigger fish got implicated?
Before the election, I can see. Not JUST after.
The Tribune is pretty nasty; surely not above suspicion, when it comes to collaborating with liberal pols. I have a story or two that I could tell....
Who’s sources?
Short of killing Michelle at the inauguration on TV in front of a national audience of witnesses, this Dem House & Senate will never impeach a Dem President. And it’s doubtful that even then there would be an impeachment.
What subpoenas did Fitzgerald deny?
The One will pull it off which sucks big time. Urgh!
Many of us were saying that this was going nowhere within hours after Fitzy blew the case by going public.
