Saw this earlier and wondered the same; wonder more, hearing that he was an Obama advisor and not a ‘breath’ about this association. Also; had been wondering since beginning of Blago scandal, when the ‘fix it’ team might come in and take care of extraneous business.

Seems more likely he would have left a note; some message; given the deed was committed ‘thoughtfully’ in his car. I don’t know; maybe he was supposed to meet someone and discuss business; and they did. . .(They have yet to say he was in financial straights. . .)
