....one more step toward revolution.

[NormsRevenge]

We’ll have to wait and see what St. Fitzmas puts in Blago’s stocking for Christmas but I am betting on coal, hard coal.

[Lazamataz]

He’s going to try to get out of this on a technicality??!?

OMFG.

[Buckeye McFrog]

if the wig don’t fit you must acquit

[j_guru]

hmmm... I thought that these wire taps were court ordered... oh yeah - I forgot about the whole above the law rule...

[WayneS]

But I HEARD the Governor say it was okay to tape him. That is consent, isn’t it?

[austinaero]

Oh I hope this keeps getting nastier and nastier. Keeps it in the news. Poor Lisa Madigan,,,this is not the news she was looking for (sarc). I hope Blago fights until his last breath, not because he’s innocent but because he can!

[Tarpon]

Well yes, but don’t they have to prove the evidence was illegally obtained?

It’s a good thing it wasn’t gotten from the Martin’s and given to Rep. Jim McDermott. Then transcripts would be published and all would know about Obama’s dirty deal with Blago. Oh wait, Blago is a Democrat, never mind.

[Army Air Corps]

Let the circus continue!

[NormsRevenge]

not even Clinton hit the ground running like this.. ;-]

Oh , shoot! 3rd Time around isn't always the charm, eh, Rahm?

[JimSEA]

A lawyer for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich told state lawmakers Thursday that the federal wiretaps at the heart of the pay-to-play allegations against his client were illegally obtained, and therefore should be kept out of any impeachment proceedings.

Pretty much what you would expect but, get a Judge who is a Clinton appointee or is like minded and Blago is home free.

[IrishPennant]

[xcamel]

All those boys in the pen say they’re innocent too...

[MathDoc]

He's innocent:
First, he never said those things.
Second, the tapes of him saying them were illegally obtained and shouldn't be allowed.
Finally, what he said was legal because he's the governor and he's allowed to sell the Senate seat.

[Cletus.D.Yokel]

This Genson fellow is a hoot. He really thinks that the impeachment must follow the same rules as a court proceding.

[anniegetyourgun]

The only thing that matters is that the DEMS want Blago out of office. They don’t really care about corruption or whether or not he is convicted. They just need him out-of-the-way for their dear leader’s PR.

[KarlInOhio]

What's next? The Marrion Barry "*@*@# set me up!" defense?

[The KG9 Kid]

... plus, the FBI got his name wrong on the search warrant.

It's 'Blagojevich', not 'Blagojavich'. Doesn't count. Investigation over.

[bigbob]

Hey, he’s a defense attorney, that’s what he’s paid to do. Remember this guy represented R. Kelly.

I read a description of the process the US Attorney used to get approval for these wiretaps and it seems absolutely solid. They were most likely approved by the US AG himself due to the nature of the target.

[DeaconRed]

Well a lawyer said it so it must be true.
