dream on....Please find another cause worth fighting. As with Clinton, Zero will never get nailed. Expect the worst and "Hope" for the best.

There are hundreds of corrupt Chicago elected officials, but I thinking Jesse Jackson (Jr or Sr).

Unless the press conference is held at Soldier Field, I don’t think they have identified all of the corrupt locals...

This is Illinois, we no longer have any of those Republicans here. The available choices are Socialist, Communist, Mobster, and Lunatic.

As with Clinton, Zero will never get nailed. Clinton didn't have the pajama media watching everything move and referencing past quotes with new quotes. The proliferation of data retention technologies has made it so that every word of a person's public life are recorded somewhere, even the private conversations. Obama will get nailed. No one leaves a pristine trail when carrying garbage.

I’d make a wager on him before Burris. Notice how conspicuously absent JJJ has been of late.

Dick “Darth Vader” Cheney? Oh no he isn’t from Illinois nor is he a public official anymore. I bet it must be Oprah. Yeah that’s it Oprah. No? Okay then Burris

If it were Obama (and it will not be) he can only be removed via Impeachment. Dems will NEVER EVER Impeach the First White and Black President.

I'm thinking it could just be the formal charges against Blagojevich. As far as I recall, there never was an indictment, just the arrest.
All this announcement does is get everyone all whipped up for nothing; something Fitzgerald is really good at.

It would be easier to arrest all the Politicians in Chicago and then decide who was less guilty.

I think Blago was already indicted wasn’t he? I could look this up, but what I remember is that they actually issued an arrest warrant before the indictment, which was highly unusual in these sorts of cases. They dragged him out of his house in handcuffs early in the morning.
Typically, the US attorney will notify the lawyer, and they simply show up in court to receive the indictment.
I could be wrong, though.
