Surely, Obama et al; had wind of this and so were already in 'protection' mode? Nice to see such 'self-servance' working for everyone involved here; 'save Blago' that is. And actually; for all of Blago's idiocy; it could have been worse for him.
Perhaps I misread all this; but Fitzgerald reminds me of the 'adopted son' in the God Father. . .is the Law his loyalty, or 'what/whom'? He apparently wins here, by the timing as well.
Well OF COURSE that is what happened. Protecting Zero rather than protecting the country from a Chicago thug getting into the White House.
