“His Senate trial is slated to begin January 26th. “
No discovery?
I was listening to Fox Radio while awaiting the Blago presser. The DJ, who was also waiting on the presser announced the date having just come over the wire. I'd previously heard the last couple weeks of January, but I'm sure now it'll run into February.
Discovery will likely occur starting now and into the beginning of the Senate trial. The Senate and Blago's attorneys will have to deal with that through Thomas Fitzgerald. Something which, in itself, could be very interesting (and enlightening).
