Even before her voice was heard on covert recordings made by federal investigators, First Lady Patricia Blagojevich was neck-deep in the federal probe of her husband and his administration.
Once a residential real estate broker on the North Side, Patricia Blagojevich left that career this year amid scrutiny from the Tribune and federal agents who have for a year been examining whether clients hired her to win favor from her husband's administration.
But her decision to change careers didn't seem to slow the investigation, which sped up in recent weeks after federal agents tapped the Blagojevich's phones and caught the first lady joining her husband on calls in which he talked about how his authority to pick President-elect Barack Obama's replacement in the U.S. Senate could be leveraged to help find her a seat on paid corporate boards.

Would Patty throw Blago under the bus? Stay tuned !
... you're going to be just as famous as Leona Helmsley!
Damn guilty.
I wonder - when the Blago’s order pizza - do they get “Can you spell that?” a lot?
1. Fitzgerald was told to close down the wiretaps and investigation to protect Obama. This may have come from the liberal connected DoJ lawyers, Bush, orEmmanuel
Logic: Any honest prosecutor would have allowed the 'crime' to occur and then made an arrest. Additionally, there was NO reason whatsoever for Fitzgerald to go to the lengths he did at the press conference to berate Blago. Normally a prosecutor announces the charges and answers a few questions with NO COMMENT, since he does not want to taint the jury pool. Fitzgerald went way out of his way to crucify Blago. Why?
2. Fitzgerald decided that to ensure a spot in Obama's admin., he would himself pull the plug ratrher than allowing some bribe scheme to happen implicating his new 'Boss'.
I think you may be on to something.
Notice how they tiptoe around the fact that Patti’s Daddy is Alderman Dick Mel - the single most powerful man in Chicago politics next to Hizzoner Daley Himself.
Talk about an incestuous mess. The ONLY reason Blago married this troll was that she gave him access to the Chicago Machine’s war chest and connections.
...you have to admit though, they seem to have a lot in common...
Oh, they *deserve* each other - no doubt.
