These federal prosecutors have about 40 days before they’re told to clean out their desks and wait for Security to escort them out of the building.
...why would anyone sing when there are presidential pardons four measley years away?
Nahhhh. The prosecutors are protecting Obama. That's the only reason that makes the premature arrest of Blago make sense. Rush pointed out that while Blago may be finished as a politician, by arresting him and essentially shutting down the corruption midstream, Blago could conceivably beat the whole thing since he was stopped before he could actually take a bribe, sell the seat, etc. etc. That makes zero sense, and is dead opposite of what was done with the Valerie Plame case. They let that case go and go until somebody actually DID something they could charge him with. With this Chicago case, they shut it down before it went too far and drug The One into it. Sickening.

If there is a strong case — what could either prevent this lapse, or insure that this continues to it’s ultimate conclusion?
