Blago will come out ok.

there is NO exchange of actual money. conspiracy is a weak defense.

He will have a defense that there was nothing wrong and everyone already does this out in the open,especially when he asked for money for his campaign financing.Even Hillary asked for help with her campaign financing from Obama, very publicly. contributing to public financing has a whole different set of “rules” than just getting a bag of money directly.

As to all his talk about money and dollar figures, he can blow that off as “bragging or just words”.

Then there is the historical precedent of key campaign contributors, aka Joseph Kennedy, etc, getting nominated for being an international ambassador.

Fitsgerald ( hated that unethical sob when he took down Libby for nothing when he knew the truth) has already tainted any jury pool and was unethical in his press comments about Blago.

FREE BLAGO....LETS SET UP A FUND!!! THE guy is just another capitalist.

Rudyard Kipling? WTH?

LOL, my thoughts exactly. I was watching it at work closed-captioned with the sound off on this big HDTV in our operations room, and it was hilarious. I wish I had a transcript of that attempted transcript -- typos, misheard words and all. It was great. I was definitely thinking "WTH is he talking about?!"

I agree to a point. If Rahm is implicated of payToPlay (even a 2-year delay version) it will be impossable to get the stink off of BHO since Senate Candidate #1 (Valerie Jarrett) is in charge the transition team.

BHO will plead ignorance but that claim is embarrassingly transparent.

Someone will be sacrificed. Not the most important people, mind you, but someone will be thrown to the wolves.

And the somone will be Blago, who, by the way, owed his former law firm something like half a million. Why do you suppose Genson would take on a deadbeat, whose campaign funds (the usual source of cash for a politician) have been frozen? John Kass of the Trib has some clues, even if Blago doesn't.

I was listening to Savage tonight and another NY’er called and was talking about wise guys and the mob being less corrupt than our govt or Bernie Maddoff.

They talked about Blago and Savage said Blago looked like he thought he was fgoing to get off. Savage said Blago knows enough about Rahm and Obama that it will all be swept under the carpet. Nothing will happen.

I am hoping Fitz will suprise me and indict Rahm and O but I think the Justice Dept is as corrupt as the SEC, the Senate, SCOTUS, POTUS, the DNC, and the list goes on and on. Russia is now less corrupt than America.

So does Rezko, and none of the big fish have been caught in that net, nor will they ever be, it seems.

If you read the section of the criminal complaint against Blago concerning his and Rezko's illegal fundraising, the charges are based solely on Ata's testimony, with a footnote that  Rezko's "reliability has yet to be fully determined."  In other words, in spite of all the talk about his spilling the beans to the Feds, his memory appears to be impaired. Imagine that.

In other words...I will sing like a caged canary OB if you dont step up and bail me out. This will get interesting as this dope tries to save his buckus and takes any and all down with him. This is by far a nightmare for Dems. Wow, pass the popcorn this is going to be a great show.
