Did Obama Fail Ethics Requirements of Illinois Bar?
A federal source of mine with ties to Chicago says that FBI agents had enough to prosecute corrupt, helmet-haired Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich back in June, when he was already engaged in some of the blackmail and extortion alleged by the FBI affidavit and other documents associated with his arrest and prosecution.
The source says that the FBI was suddenly ordered by the U.S. Attorney's Office--and I believe that order came from the top, ie., U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and Justice Department officials in Washington--to hold off on doing anything until after the election, so as not to hurt Obama's White House bid. Here's what my inside source says.
I know for a fact FBI Chicago had enough to indict Blagojevich in June. They were 2 weeks from indictment in June based on cooperation and testimony at the Stu Levine trial. Levine was Tony Rezko's bud, fund raiser for Blago, and our President-Elect.
I wonder what took them so long? My guess is when it started to look like a lock for Obama's nomination by the Dems, someone at the U.S. Attorney's Office put it all on hold, so as not to spoil "The Annointed One's" shot.

Now, THERE’S a shocker. /sarc
Not surprised at all.
Let’s just hope it backfires by allowing the sale of the century to develop.
So, who will be the first to file a grievance against attorney Barack Obama with the appropriate Illinois authorities? Remember, there’s precedent for something like this. There was that certain Democrat President who lost his law license over lying under oath. ‘Memba him?
The shocker is that Hillary’s renown opposition research team didn’t uncover this.
Remember, Nixon was forced to resign because of a cover-up after the fact. He never authorized the Watergate break-in.
No, everyone else is......LOL!
There was apparently a number of crimes Blag was committing. The attempted selling of Obama's seat was just the latest.
I think I know some attorneys that are going to get fired on Jan 21.
Gee...I’m shocked. Funny how Lawrence Tribe indicted Cap Weinberger days before the 1992 election that deliberately aided Clinton.
You can always count on Fitz to aid his Democrat heartthrobs.
And its not too hard to imagine the campaign to sell the seat starting in the summer in anticipation of an Obama win.
You probably have it right. This last bit of corruption simply made it easier to hide the truth of the delay.
(from the Watergate hearings) Senator Howard Baker (R) TN: "What did the President know and when did he know it."
And its not too hard to imagine the Obama campaign was tipped off about the Blago Senate seat auction.
I have a dumb question...
If Fitz didn’t want to hurt Obama, why release the tapes of Blago swearing about Obama?
Why wouldn’t he release a damning tape of Blago talking about something else?
A/ Fitz thought the tape of Blago saying Obama wouldn’t play the game would make Obama look innocent?
B/ He wants to hurt, or at least own, Obama?
C/____________________?
Ha! The MSM took Nixon out. They will never surrender one of their own. Look at Clinton. There were calls for him to resign. The MSM propped him up over and over again. There is strong evidence that Clinton RAPPED someone. The MSM deliberately let him skate.
I would have asked Obama if the SS ever told him during his briefing if Blago was going down.
Does anyone wonder if there are tapes of Obama’s team talking/negotiating to/with Fitz. Fitz may retire a very wealthy man.
You also have to wonder if Fitz was doing the slow-roll on pressing Rezko on a plea-deal for turning state’s evidence. Imagine what that guy has on various “people/messiahs in high places”.
Wouldn't it have been easier for Tribe to indict Weinberger if Tribe had ever been a prosecutor?
If we had a free, honest and legitimate media this would have been disclosed prior to the election. Reszko is throughout the Federal Complaint - and Obama had dirtied himself with Reszko so frankly if Obama wasn’t in the middle of the whore house, he was guarding the door, and shagging a few bucks for every john.
What is the harm of a media that is in the tank - you are now looking at it - a hideous surprise, you get a Blago, showing up like a hard lump on the testicles, strong arming a female hospital administrator and cursing like a Gambino captain making his collections. So ugly and so wrong, and so Democratic and so blind, and the citizens of Illinois now know how Kitty Genovese really felt that night.
This should have been exposed years ago by a true media - and would have saved a lot more people. Lies kill.
So, here we go again.
Maybe the source said it, maybe not...
Damned if I know.
Burned and chastised by the slapdown they received from SCOTUS over the birth certificate imbroglio, the wacky wing of FreeRepublic seizes upon the next available conspiracy theory which they can clutch to their breasts....
He ain't human, I tell ya...
I was here when he came out of the space ship.
I saw him with my own eyes...
The appearance of being totally unhinged doesn't augment anyone's credibility.
I think the period of time when hillary sat down with obama right before she dropped out went like this. She knew she couldn’t take him out and win, even using her dirt on him, so she says to him..I am going to get a choice job for me , and a lot of my friends, or I take you down with me...
I still can’t believe she gave up her shielded job as senator for a tough one like secretary of state.
We all know the clintons goals, they just take some CREATIVE routes to get there sometimes !
No kidding? I knew he played the saxophone atrociously, but not that he rapped as well.
I wonder if Bush and his inner circle were unaware of this potential disaster for the Obama campaign? Seems difficult to believe that they had no idea of what was taking place.
While I am at it, I’ve seen little evidence over the last 4 years that Bush had any interest in seeing a Republican win the 2008 election. You know, what bully pulpit? You’d have thought there wasn’t even a Republican Party based on his behavior.
Gee, what a surprise.
Just so I'm completely clear on this....
Are we saying that he "rapped" someone over the head, as in hitting them?
...Or are we saying he chanted a "song" about b-itches & ho's while scratching vinyl records at someone?
Actually the delay was a fair thing to do. Unfortunately that knife doesn’t cut both ways. Just ask the former or about to be former Senator from Alaska about that policy.
Fitz should have been indicted for not naming Armitage as the leaker in the Plame thingy. He’s a phony bustard.
I hope Blago holds out to the bitter end. Let the DRats have a little internal nukular implosion that they so very much deserve. I hope Blago takes down the whole house of cards on his way down. Go out like a fighting Serb Blago...
feces.... meet fan!
“Actually the delay was a fair thing to do.”
In what way?
He could be silenced before that happens.
Actually, I believe he had one too many “P”s in that “RAPPED” word. I think he was referring to the crimes committed against Juanita Broaddrick, against that poor girl in Oxford England, and perhaps others.
You’re not accusing Clinton of being a rappist are you?
The good news is that you are not holding your breath.
Jr doesn’t have a law license, he gave it up in early 2008 and Michelle gave up hers even earlier. So much for filing charges against an attorney. I’m surprised Debbie didn’t know this before she wrote the article.
bttt
You've seen the original birth certificate, then?
It was a little before your time here, but this stuff reminds me of the M. Larry Lawrence dustup.
M. Larry Obama. Got a nice ring to it...
Sorry, everyone knows that around here - just joking around about the “rapper”.
Gee, who would have ever thought this? LOL, Fitz is at least as corrupt as the scum he chases. All these turds float in the same toilet. You can only wonder what else Fitz is doing to protect his next boss.
BUMP!
Surely, Obama et al; had wind of this and so were already in 'protection' mode? Nice to see such 'self-servance' working for everyone involved here; 'save Blago' that is. And actually; for all of Blago's idiocy; it could have been worse for him.
Perhaps I misread all this; but Fitzgerald reminds me of the 'adopted son' in the God Father. . .is the Law his loyalty, or 'what/whom'? He apparently wins here, by the timing as well.
I don't know; but think there is a 'war going on ' here. . .the kind these Dems love to fight.
Well OF COURSE that is what happened. Protecting Zero rather than protecting the country from a Chicago thug getting into the White House.
There is a woman that claims Clinton raped her back when he was Governor.
Based on the RNC’s behavior over the last four yrs., I’ve often wondered if the Republican Party, It’s a shame testosterone isn’t an over the counter drug—we could send them some.
Illinois no longer has some of the most enlightened people in the country? When did this happen?
Well, you start with some government schools, mix in a whole bunch of liberal leaning teachers and presto, you have the current day Illinois.
I read that both Obama and his wife Michelle let their law licenses lapse in record time after becoming lawyers. From what they could see in Illinois, politics seemed a lot easier for a liar and shady manipulator and more lucrative.
