Fitzgerald went on to work for Skadden Arps, which supported Kerry in 2004 and failed to register as a foreign agent while helping the Podesta Group lobby for clients in Russia and Ukraine.

Federal Sources: Fitzgerald Held Off Blagojevich Bust to Protect Obama Election Chances

Did Obama Fail Ethics Requirements of Illinois Bar?
A federal source of mine with ties to Chicago says that FBI agents had enough to prosecute corrupt, helmet-haired Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich back in June, when he was already engaged in some of the blackmail and extortion alleged by the FBI affidavit and other documents associated with his arrest and prosecution.
The source says that the FBI was suddenly ordered by the U.S. Attorney’s Office—and I believe that order came from the top, ie., U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and Justice Department officials in Washington—to hold off on doing anything until after the election, so as not to hurt Obama’s White House bid. Here’s what my inside source says.
I know for a fact FBI Chicago had enough to indict Blagojevich in June. They were 2 weeks from indictment in June based on cooperation and testimony at the Stu Levine trial. Levine was Tony Rezko’s bud, fund raiser for Blago, and our President-Elect.
I wonder what took them so long? My guess is when it started to look like a lock for Obama’s nomination by the Dems, someone at the U.S. Attorney’s Office put it all on hold, so as not to spoil “The Annointed One’s” shot. . .

The top federal prosecutor in Chicago is threatening to sue publisher HarperCollins, calling a book about the war on terrorism that focuses in part on cases he was involved in “a deliberate lie masquerading as the truth.”
If HarperCollins publishes the new edition of “Triple Cross” by Peter Lance this month “and it defames me or casts me in a false light, HarperCollins will be sued,” Patrick Fitzgerald said in a letter to the New York-based company.
The book focuses on, among other things, major terrorism cases that Fitzgerald prosecuted when he was an assistant U.S. attorney in New York in the 1990s. . .
