The rest of this story will be very interesting. One thing is for sure, this is just the beginning.

They should of cut a deal with him for reduced prison time, put a wire on him, and sent him to his sales meeting.

[Uncle Chip]

Blagojevich just went off the Chicago mob's reservation in asking too much for that Senate seat.

His asking price was too high.

He should have settled for the market value of a Senate seat in Illinois, less the wire-tap discount, of course.

Not being from Illinois I ask the following:

Is this guy so clueless or arrogant that he did not know he was being investigated by the feds? And he still tried to sell the Senate seat knowing or not caring about the ongoing investigations?

Is that pretty much it?

Wowwww...

“One thing is for sure, this is just the beginning.”

Do you, or anyone else, honestly believe for one second this investigation will get traction and go anywhere once Obama is president of 1/2 of the United States. We can't even get him to show his proof of eligibility to assume office. A few unscrupulous people will get nailed and that is that.This is not the beginning, it is the end. WE ARE DOOMED.

[Jeff Chandler]

this is just the beginning.

No, it's the end of the investigation. Normally an investigation allows things to play out so they can catch more rats. This one was stopped in its tracks before any more Democrats could be hurt.

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW WHY PAT FITZ-A*SHOLE SHUT DOWN THIS INVESTIGATION SO QUICKLY, WHEN HE TOOK OVER 2 YEARS TO NAIL SOMEONE (ANYONE) EVEN AFTER HE LEARNED WHO HAD LEAKED 007-WANNABE'S (PLAME) NAME???

Something smells here!!!

[domenad]

Just speculating, but can you imagine the first black president ending up in the clink, forced to resign over bribery for senate seats? Now I kind of think I should buy some of those Presidential coins or something. They could be a hot item, like those Patriot superbowl books.

[Blood of Tyrants]

But of course as a Chicago Democrat he believed he was untouchable. Had it not been for a Republican US Attorney he would have been.

Obama will take care of that when he replaces all the federal prosecutors with his handpicked yes men who will suddenly become very uninterested in Blago or Rezko or Obama.

[libstripper]

FTA Blagojevich will NOT go down by himself. He will hand up everybody he can. Just one month ago Rezko’s sentencing was postponed. Why? He was told this was coming and asked if he wanted “in” once it went down. It looks like maybe he took the deal.

With the solid evidence the FBI has against Blago, it looks like this could very well be true.
