Wiretap: Burris Offered To Write Ex-Gov. A Check Senator Suggested Contribution To Rod Blagojevich Before He Was Appointed, Later Decided Against It CHICAGO (CBS) ―
Sen. Roland Burris was recorded on an FBI wiretap suggesting that he could write a check to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's campaign before the ousted governor appointed Burris to the Senate, reports CBS station WBBM-TV in Chicago.
The details of the conversation emerged after a federal judge said Tuesday he would allow the U.S. Senate Ethics Committee to hear a federal wiretap of former Blagojevich's brother, Rob, having a fund-raising conversation with Burris.
Sources tell WBBM the wiretapped phone conversation occurred on Nov. 18 while Blagojevich was still governor and before he named Burris to President Barack Obama's former U.S. Senate seat.
Sources say that on the tape, Burris suggests that he could contribute, or have associates contribute, money to the Blagojevich campaign. Burris also expresses desire to be appointed to the U.S. Senate.

“He’ll Do Something”———LOL-—thanks for the link.
You are probably right. At this point, I would be shocked if we ever hear from Spitzer again on the matter at all...lol.
Then my ultimate dream would be for Rahm and Obama to be outed as the corrupt chicago thugs that they are!
Big congrats to you and your family!
