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.

Does anyone wonder if there are tapes of Obama’s team talking/negotiating to/with Fitz. Fitz may retire a very wealthy man.

You also have to wonder if Fitz was doing the slow-roll on pressing Rezko on a plea-deal for turning state’s evidence. Imagine what that guy has on various “people/messiahs in high places”.

Funny how Lawrence Tribe indicted Cap Weinberger days before the 1992 election that deliberately aided Clinton.

Wouldn't it have been easier for Tribe to indict Weinberger if Tribe had ever been a prosecutor?

If we had a free, honest and legitimate media this would have been disclosed prior to the election. Reszko is throughout the Federal Complaint - and Obama had dirtied himself with Reszko so frankly if Obama wasn’t in the middle of the whore house, he was guarding the door, and shagging a few bucks for every john.

What is the harm of a media that is in the tank - you are now looking at it - a hideous surprise, you get a Blago, showing up like a hard lump on the testicles, strong arming a female hospital administrator and cursing like a Gambino captain making his collections. So ugly and so wrong, and so Democratic and so blind, and the citizens of Illinois now know how Kitty Genovese really felt that night.

This should have been exposed years ago by a true media - and would have saved a lot more people. Lies kill.

"A federal source of mine with ties to Chicago says..."

So, here we go again.

Maybe the source said it, maybe not...
Damned if I know.

Burned and chastised by the slapdown they received from SCOTUS over the birth certificate imbroglio, the wacky wing of FreeRepublic seizes upon the next available conspiracy theory which they can clutch to their breasts....

The appearance of being totally unhinged doesn't augment anyone's credibility.

I think the period of time when hillary sat down with obama right before she dropped out went like this. She knew she couldn’t take him out and win, even using her dirt on him, so she says to him..I am going to get a choice job for me , and a lot of my friends, or I take you down with me...

I still can’t believe she gave up her shielded job as senator for a tough one like secretary of state.

We all know the clintons goals, they just take some CREATIVE routes to get there sometimes !

There is strong evidence that Clinton RAPPED someone

No kidding? I knew he played the saxophone atrociously, but not that he rapped as well.

I wonder if Bush and his inner circle were unaware of this potential disaster for the Obama campaign? Seems difficult to believe that they had no idea of what was taking place.

While I am at it, I’ve seen little evidence over the last 4 years that Bush had any interest in seeing a Republican win the 2008 election. You know, what bully pulpit? You’d have thought there wasn’t even a Republican Party based on his behavior.

Just so I'm completely clear on this....

Are we saying that he "rapped" someone over the head, as in hitting them?

...Or are we saying he chanted a "song" about b-itches & ho's while scratching vinyl records at someone?

Actually the delay was a fair thing to do. Unfortunately that knife doesn’t cut both ways. Just ask the former or about to be former Senator from Alaska about that policy.

Fitz should have been indicted for not naming Armitage as the leaker in the Plame thingy. He’s a phony bustard.

I hope Blago holds out to the bitter end. Let the DRats have a little internal nukular implosion that they so very much deserve. I hope Blago takes down the whole house of cards on his way down. Go out like a fighting Serb Blago...
feces.... meet fan!

“Actually the delay was a fair thing to do.”

In what way?

Actually, I believe he had one too many “P”s in that “RAPPED” word. I think he was referring to the crimes committed against Juanita Broaddrick, against that poor girl in Oxford England, and perhaps others.

You’re not accusing Clinton of being a rappist are you?

Jr doesn’t have a law license, he gave it up in early 2008 and Michelle gave up hers even earlier. So much for filing charges against an attorney. I’m surprised Debbie didn’t know this before she wrote the article.
