Attorneys for former governor Rod Blagojevich have asked a federal judge to order prosecutors to produce two phone calls his lawyers say are mysteriously missing from evidence.
In a motion filed overnight, Blagojevich's attorneys say the calls would support the former governor's contention that he is innocent of charges alleging he attempted to sell Barack Obama's U.S. Senate seat after the November 2008 election.
While much of the motion is blacked out to comply with orders that the conversations remain under seal, it appears at least one of the alleged conversations was between then Chief of Staff John Harris and then congressman Rahm Emanuel, who had just taken the post as president-elect Obama's chief of staff.
"The missing call casts all of the other evidence in a different light," the lawyers write. "Moreover, the failure of the government to disclose this call, and the failure to reference this facto the jury or the Court should raise the suspicion of the Court."
I’ve been wondering the same thing...why it is soooooo important for Rahm to be mayor....why Richard Daly decided not to seek re-election.
William Daly (brother? cousin?) is the prime cause for the extreme polarization in the country today, beginning with the 2000 election when he phoned Gore on the way to the concession speech and talked him into challenging the Florida results.
The animus toward Bush began then and has continued toward the opposition since.
Gloves off politics has become the norm of the Democrat Party, with Chicago as the model.
I can’t wait until we send these corruptocrats back to their pig sty in Chicago.
“should raise the suspicion of the Court.”
AND everyone else!
I certainly hope so.
Would much rather obama and "friends" doing time.
Blagojevich, you Son of a B-—h!
All corrupt as the day is long.
Interesting theories, but you got the wrong Daley in the mix.
But he is one of the Chicago Daleys, is he not?
