It’s EXACTLY how justice and everything else works in Chicago.
This is a nightmare for the democrats and our liberal local media here in Chicago.
I am praying that Rod is found not guilty on all counts and goes apeS&*$ on the dems who threw him under the bus.
I then hope he sues Patrick Fitzgerald and Obama. In the words of Rod, "This is F&$#ing GOLDEN"!!! LOL!!!
It’s actually good news for J Jackson Jr. His trial won’t start until after the Blago trial finishes. He could easily have another two years of freedom because of this.
I agree, a bunch of scum made him fall guy.
ildouche and friends as well as other hotshot
politicos wanted to bribe him for the job and he
picks a lowly nobody, and doesn’t even
get a billion in an offshore bank.
No guilt there, say compared to the huge
bucks Soros bought ildouche with.Ed
There always comes a time when a jury is so deadlocked that movement toward a verdict becomes impossible. It just usually isn't this early in deliberations.
“I feel sorry for Rod. He was their boy until he got a little frisky with the new regime. Same old same old that goes on everywhere, isn’t it the truth?”
Heard alot of similar comments on local talk radio. You could wiretap the phones of most politicians and hear the same stuff you hear from Blago. The Feds should have waited till some money was exchanged before moving...or were they afraid of the involvement of some higher up in the (at the time) new Obama administration? Talk show host Roe Conn commented how important it was to have a conviction to “send a message.” What message?? Didn’t the last governor go to jail? Did that stop Blago? No—we need to vote these lifetime politicians out of office.
That's where any good lawyer shines.. Remember, "If it fits, you must acquit"?
With that, let the jury members now start their reality show careers!
