Au contraire, Blago forced it. He wanted a big show with witnesses and everything. They gave him a star chamber with the same transcripts that were public. Indeed, when Fitzgerald agreed to provide some other tapes, the SEIU and others went to court to prevent that from happening. This show ain't over yet although it will not be public for a while until the criminal indictments come out. Fitz has been working on Chicago for years. He wants more trophies...
Let’s just hope he’s a big enough meglomaniac to try to bring them down.
Downstate and Chicago are different critters - downstate impeached him. But the bodies are in Chicago (and, now, Washington). If he messes with Chicago.. talks too much, I think he’ll literally disappear.
