Washington, DC -- December 9, 2008
Judicial Watch President Tom Fitton issued the following statement today in response to the arrest of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich:
###
"There has been an air of lawlessness around Governor Blagojevich for some time and Judicial Watch applauds U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald for his actions.
"Blagojevich's corruption is no surprise, but its breadth and depravity is shocking. The alleged efforts to sell the Senate seat of Barack Obama are outrageous, but also seem to implicate many other powerful politicians and political players. Especially disturbing are the questions the scandal raises about Barack Obama and his close associates.
"This is a burgeoning crisis for Obama that should shake his presidency to its core.
"The criminal complaint filed today indicates that Obama and his team knew about Blagojevich's efforts to sell Obama's Senate seat. ("Tony" Rezko, Obama friend, fundraiser and real estate partner, is once again implicated in the corrupt activities exposed today.)
"Did Obama report Blagojevich to investigators about any efforts to sell his Senate seat?"
Judicial Watch has been investigating Rod Blagojevich for over two years and has ongoing open records litigation concerning the sale of government jobs for which he was arrested today. Blagojevich has stonewalled and refused to turn over documents to Judicial Watch that could have alerted the American people to his corruption.
Obama isn’t even in office yet and he’s tainted. I hope “Eliott Ness” Fitzpatrick threatens Blogovitch with a life sentence and gets him to rat out all the Illinois RATS.
LOL!!!!!!!! Paid your tuition, haven't you?
Along with dozens of other Freepers (including me).
Judging by all of the flash and mudslinging, they probably thought the election was for American Idol.
I believe that Fitz has Obama check-mated. If the Feds are aware that Blago wanted to sell the senate seat for a cabinet-ship, then they also know what the “details of the deal” were to be...and they have proof of it.
“Did Obama report Blagojevich to investigators about any efforts to sell his Senate seat?”
Did Obama snitch on Blagojevich?
OMG! Best line of the year if you ask me! Touche! ROFLMAO!!!!
You are a fool.
It is absurd to use traitor & McCain in the same sentence. McCain has stood up for this country 1000 times more than you or I could ever.
I do not like his style or even some of his policies. He was not who we needed to run this cycle. There are many more conservative men & women who would have brought us back to the core values we all yearn for.
But shame on you for disparaging a great American like John McCain.
Meanwhile, in ObamaLand. . . .
~~I am finding many of these posts just downright hilarious—sad because being from Chicago area, I probably should have a more grave attitude, but this is really funny :)
Got it .. ;)
RezkObama is just another corrupt politician.
Pray for W and Our Troops
Glad you liked it ;-)
Pure conjecture?? Ray Charles could see this. Obama is not that far removed from the Chicago political machine. He leaped frogged from the state legislature to the Presidency. How’d that happen. You believe he was the ONLY Chicago politician who knew nothing and his hands are clean?
Not just no but hell no!
,p> Supreme Court
Chrissy is just mad b/c he didn’t have a chance to “bid” for the Senate seat..... “Governor Blago, do you KNOW WHO I AM?”
Chrissy could have offered Gov. Blago millions of dollar worth of free, favorable publicity.
Thanks for the ping. Will try to listen tomorrow morning. Going to print out the FBI complaint tonight and take a highlighter to it and do a bit of ‘research’ while lying in my ‘office bed’....lol. Will catch up with everybody in the morning. Keep me posted please to all things concerning Obama’s corruption and fraud though. Just very tired tonight all of a sudden. So much info flowing, my head is spinning....but in a good way. I have hope for our country tonight.
LOL! Leo is a riot. Two heroes.
I think you watched too much MSM.
McCain did some great things in his early career, it’s true.
But the way he handed this country over to a foreign-born, foreign-financed commie pinko muslim slickster — all in the name of maintaining “bipartisanship” — is nothing short of treason.
He was in the cockpit. He had the enemy in his sites. Instead of firing, with both barrels, as any patriotic American would have done, he decided to kiss the One’s *ss.
Shame on John McCain and pity poor you for not being able to see the travesty that John McCain is.
