Yesterday, Madigan said her office KNEW about the investigation!!! She was TIPPED OFF....therefore, I’m guessing she TIPPED OFF OBAMA!!

You know this could get interesting... either Blago or neurotic or this is more complicated than the mainstream media is making it out to be.

The left created a national “financial crisis” just in time for the election. Turning Blogo into a life or death matter would be a piece of cake! As long as the MSM reports Hussein talking points as fact, nothing is impossible for our Marxist friends.

Circling sharks eating their own. IL voters getting what they deserve for electing these people. I say they should be stuck with Blago until he is convicted or impeached. As usual, dems are trying to get the courts to usurp the legislature’s appropriate power and role.

Psst, skip the bull and read down to Madigan (they quote Durbin, so you know what I mean). They set this up a long time ago.

Blago was heard on tape cursing about Obama not playing along with the Senate seat selling scheme. Does this mean the the Obama people, even Obama himself knew about the attempted high crime and said NOTHING! Obstruction of Justice

The Trib knew for months. That means O knew and the rest of the scuzzy cabal knew too.

Byron York makes an excellent poit. What is the rush? Call Blago’s office and tell him to stand firm.

Hopefully, the Gov will not resign and stay on to $crew Rahm and Zero, er to serve his voters. With any luck this will last longer in the media, than the Fitzy/Armitage/Powell/Plame/CIA sideshow did.

Rahm, "I never had sex with, er, talked to the Illinois Governor. Hell, Obama and I don't even know him."

Chicago Team Obama

Hey Zer0, How are you hanging in there with the big boys? How's your smoking and facial tics coming along? Enjoy your ride. The fun is just beginning.

Call Blago's office and tell him to hang in there. I will post a link when I get to my desk top.

That WSJ story pretty much confirms what some have suspected: that the original wiretap was triggered by a Tribune tip to Fitz about Blago trying to shake the Trib down.

Through their "cooperation" with the FBI the Tribune Company brass found out the investigation was also leading to Obama's staff's involvement with the Senate seat sale, and they rushed to stop it by going public about the wire surveillance.

Win, win for the Trib: their $ deal with the state re Wrigley Field is now secure, since Blago can't touch it, while their golden boy has been saved from disaster.

That is what I was thinking. That she told Obama to NOT work out a deal with him.
