INTERESTING TIMING...
Update: December 9, 2008 at 8:26 AM |
A source said today that Gov. Rod Blagojevich was taken into federal custody at his North Side home this morning. The U.S. attorney's office would not confirm the information.
A Blagojevich spokesman said he was unaware of the development. "Haven't heard anything -- you are first to call," Lucio Guerrero said in an e-mail.
The stunning, early morning visit by authorities to the governor's North Side home came amid revelations that federal investigators had recorded the governor with the cooperation of a longtime confidant and had begun to focus on the possibility that the process of choosing a Senate successor to President-elect Barack Obama could be tainted by pay-to-play politics.

“had begun to focus on the possibility that the process of choosing a Senate successor to President-elect Barack Obama could be tainted by pay-to-play politics..”
Yep..saw that in the article and wondered how stupid and/or arrogant the guy has to be to continue his corruption while he is already under investigation for corruption....lol. Wonder if he got any phone calls from the Obama thugs concerning the ‘replacement’ that might have been recorded as well?
It’s electrifying!
Allegedly also wheeling and dealing for 0’s senate seat!!!!
And allegedly scheming to hurt the Chicago Trib ... bad.
Hot cup of coffee and news like this ... it’s fixing to be a good morning.
since corruption is common place, apparently the gov didn’t play ball with either the italian or jewish mafia and got hung by one of them.
