If i walked on a commercial flight and saw Blago sitting in the plane i would turn around and walk right off.
Vince thought so...
“The judge said he is willing to reconsider the issue during the course of the trial which begins June 3—if Blago’s lawyers submit more evidence that they need Obama’s testimony. Count on it: They’ll either submit more evidence directly or more allegations will come out that will warrant Obama’s participation.
Spectacular leakages in the future may force Obama to make an appearance either here in Chicago or in Washington via video-tape. If so, it will be an eerie reenactment of the Bill Clinton scenario. Obama better not fudge the truth. Clinton did, committing perjury for which he was impeached by the House.”
Lord, protect Blago and those who know the truth.
Blago should also be leaking to the Enquirer. Seriously.
Give them something that is true and will get denied by the NY Times and Wash. Post. Then pull the plug on the MSM - they will then have even less credibility. Anything they then say will be used as “tainting the jury pool”.
Play some some real hardball and he just might stay alive.
Exactly. They couldn't care less if the entire country burns, as long as they "win." That's what Nancy Pelosi prancing around with the oversize gavel was all about: rubbing it in. Letting us know who's boss.
Blago is endearing in a perverse way..like a witty porn star or something
Nixon had to testify. Why not Zero?
I think they’re of the “kill his goat”* mindset.
They don’t really care if they “win”, as long as WE “lose”.
*Short version: Two guys find a genie lamp, one rubs it and wishes for a goat, the other rubs it and demands the genie kill the other guy’s goat.
Exactly. I believe a judge has already said that “not all the tapes will be aired.” Blago has to be furious. (Along w/the rest of us.)
Nixon had to testify. Why not Zero?

Ugh....Because Nixon was not king?/s
I’m reminded of one of those Lethal Weapon movies. obama just says “I declare Diplomatic Immunity”. I mean, he is a foreign president.
That’s exactly what I was thinking.
It’s interesting that Blogo HAS TO tell the truth if he has any chance of ever getting out of jail! The real question is, will he live long enough to get out of jail?
Long before jail, it’s what happens at trial ..
Blago revelations and incriminations: -0, Jarrett,
Emanuel, Jesse Jr. et al, judge’s actions .. that’s
what could be explosive, and the leaks of the
pressure applied by the overlords.
And Patti knows all.
Unless offered a sweet inside deal or fatally
overcome by a mysterious ‘disease,” Blago’s not
going down alone.

“The president might be advised to write to the judge: “Judge Zagel, you want me on that stand, you need me on that stand! Please, Judge Zagel, let me testify to show everyone I’m not a Chicago politician.”
*snip*
What follows is a certified yet highly imaginary transcript of some future testimony.
Smarty Pants Lawyer: Isn’t it true, Mr. President, that in 2002, as an Illinois state senator, you told journalist Jeff Berkowitz, on tape, the following: “Right now, my main focus is to make sure we elect Rod Blagojevich as governor.”
Obama: Well, look. That’s not the Rod I knew.
Smarty Pants Lawyer: Isn’t it true, Mr. President, that in 2006, you wrote a letter to the voters of Cook County, vigorously endorsing the hapless Urkel of political Chicago, Todd Stroger, for County Board president?
Obama: Well, uh, look. At this point in time, to the best of my knowledge, I can’t recall.
Smarty Pants Lawyer: Did you not write, and I quote, “Todd is a good, progressive Democrat who will bring values and sensibility to the job”? Did you not write these words, sir?
Obama: That’s not the Todd I knew.
Smarty Pants Lawyer: And isn’t it true that in April of 2010, you publicly hugged Alexi Giannoulias and called him, and I quote, Illinois’ “soon-to-be senator”? Doesn’t that make you a real Chicago politician?
Obama: I decline to answer on the grounds that it might incriminate me.”

Hmmm... apparently a cousin of US Atty Fitzie has a job working for Mayor Daley

A computer glitch, and a bigger justice glitch

Thanks to a computer glitch, we now know that the feds in Chicago have been trying to feed President Obama for months into the Blagojevich matter.
They have gone after every other Democratic politician in Chicago — except the office of Mayor Daley, where a cousin of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald works as one of the mayor’s top aides — and have gone after a number of the more unprepossessing Republican candidates, usually in primary season.
Now it appears that the federal prosecutors working overtime to justify Fitzgerald’s stunt arrest of Blagojevich have passed frequent references to the president in documents to defense counsel.
Blagojevich’s lawyers have now exposed that quiet behind-the-scenes campaign:
Some of the references to Obama passed along by the Northern District of Illinois surfaced last Thursday in a defense attempt to subpoena the president to testify at Blagojevich’s trial, scheduled to begin June 3.
The unredacted defense motion, posted by the Chicago Sun-Times among other outlets, is linked here.
http://blogs.suntimes.com/blago/2010/04/heres_text_of_the_full_unredac.html
Two main inferences are included:
one is that Obama was involved in some discussions, or mentions, of potential candidates for the senate seat he was vacating; and the other is that convicted political donor Antoin ‘Tony’ Rezko is saying bad things about Obama.
Although the second of these is considerably more chilling, let’s take these two in the order in which the defense motion raises them.

“Blago found dead in bizarre shaving accident. Death is ruled accidental.”
Is the Supreme Court in his future?
Just remember, Blago is a Serb, quit is not an option and he will take everyone with him on the way down, count on it, genetics at work...
