Agreed. He is crazy like a genius. He knew exactly what he was doing when he appointed Burris. Burris is no innocent and his own indiscretion points directly at BO....PLUS Blank-Ohe knows who's crimes are connected to which minion.

The discovery phase between now and the trial (or into it) will be interesting, presuming it happens. I assume the Senate is planning to try Blago on what evidence the House had so we’ll see.

But Blago can initiate his own discovery event. The Illinois Supreme Court Chief Justice Thomas R. Fitzgerald oversees the trial. Blago should have every right for discovery through Judge Fitzgerald.

Keep in mind, the Senate needs 2/3 to convict. This is another issue in the back of Blago’s mind...and performance.
