WBBM-TV: Feds may indict Blagojevich (Illinois Governor!)
UPI ^ | 9/25/08

CHICAGO, Sept. 25 (UPI) -- U.S. federal agents say they have enough evidence to indict Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich for fraud and conspiracy, WBBM-TV, Chicago, reported Thursday.

The CBS-owned station also said an indictment of Blagojevich, the first Democrat elected to Illinois' governorship in 30 years, was "not imminent."

Neither the FBI, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald nor Blagojevich's office had any immediate comment on the report.

Fitzgerald's office said June 30, 2006, it was looking into "very serious allegations of endemic hiring fraud" in the Blagojevich administration.

Comment from Barack Obama;

"This is not the Rod Blagojevich I knew."

I think Barry’d better call Ray Nagin and see if he has any extra unused buses. Barry’s is stuffed.

Don’t think that DU will be writing any new tribute hymns to Fitzgerald this time.

Mr. Obama will say: “He was a typical Polish person...under the bus with him!”

Man, that’s some kind of BIG bus. More folks under that bus than there are Carter’s Little Liver pills!

Well, if they have the evidence, then why are they talking about indictment and not actually doing it?

John Doe would be crying to attorneys by now.
