The question here...does Rod have more recorded minutes than the government prosecutor? And if he does....does he have a private chat that includes the President? And if the President was chatting...what did he offer?
I suspect that a dozen lawyers are now on call at the White House and trying to figure out how to avoid this subpoena. Bush would have done the same thing.
But note the timing of this. If he attempts to slide out of the subpoena...then momentum of Cap & Trade, the immigration business, the Wall Street reform, etc...goes south. He can’t readily appear at any town hall meeting because some idiot could ask him how he gets out of a subpoena when regular citizens can’t.
Frankly, Blago has played the biggest ‘ace’ in the history of politics. I don’t see how he can be convicted...without the President getting involved. And by getting involved...the President basically admits he offered something.
who has the longest expected lifespan: A machine gunner in a hot war zone or Rod Blago?
Answer (remember, this is Chicago):
Aren’t they also trying to avoid subpoenas from the Senate related to the Ft Hood shootings? Orange jumpsuit - I’m telling ya, this man needs to be in prison!
BTTT!
