“I thought the main reason for Fitz arresting him when he did is so Blago couldn’t appoint anyone to the Senate seat.... LOL. We see how that worked out. “
Fitz is holding, what, three-four weeks of Nov-Dec ‘08 wiretaps?
He pulled the plug just as JJJ was about to pay for play. Hell, they even held the “fundraiser.”
Blago was to pay his dues for playing hardball with Rahm, (ie. Valerie Jarrett).
The trap was for Blago and others were caught in the web.
Fitz has no HARD evidence.
It was assumed Blago would resign and not make the senate appointment.
Blago impeached but vows to fight on, mentioning Rahm and the Swimmer in his presser.
Blago: 2
Team 0: 0

Speaking of Rahm? Where is he? Has he dropped off the face of the earth???
“Fitz is holding, what, three-four weeks of Nov-Dec ‘08 wiretaps?”
Actually, I think it started in Sept. or Oct. Over 300 hours of listening pleasure.
Blago is a typical Illinois crook......with a twist: He’s very smart and very tenacious.
I wouldn’t be surprised to see him take down lots of Illinois politicians with him. Some could be big names, maybe even with a last name beginning with “O”.
