My apologies if this is a repost but a search indicated it was unposted.
Ruff, a health-care and political consultant, raised the prospect of a possible quid pro quo between Blagojevich and Burris, recounting a telephone conversation with Burris business partner Fred Lebed, who allegedly told Ruff on the date of Burris' appointment, "We'll have to do some things for the governor."
Ruff also said he recalled Lebed telling him he'd had discussions about Burris' interest in the Senate appointment with Blagojevich representatives -- lobbyist John Wyma, now-indicted chief of staff John Harris and former chief of staff Lon Monk -- as early as October.
That information contradicted Burris' claim in a Jan. 5 affidavit in which the senator said neither he nor his representatives spoke with Blagojevich or his representatives before Dec. 26. Lawyers representing Harris and Wyma denied their clients spoke with Lebed about Burris interest in the seat.
HOW FORTUNATE for Burris and Blago. (Donning tin foil hat . . .)

Apologies . . .the title should read “Perjury Investigation” instead of “Perjury Trial.” Unconscious, wishful thinking, I guess. Apologies, again.

Deputy Kendall County Coroner Jacquie Marcellis told the Sun-Times that Ruff died of blunt head and chest trauma. No autopsy is planned. Are they going to examine the car? Take even a few blood tests?

no witnesses to the crash nor was there evidence of any other vehicles involved. There were no skid marks on the road. "We have absolutely no idea what caused Mr. Ruff's vehicle to veer off the roadway," Pearson said.
No autopsy is planned.
Uhhh, Riiiiiiggggghhtt. Nothing to see hear folks, move along.

Just a couple questions...
Must have just had a heart attack. Cremation?
Any family that’s inquisitive enough to question this “accident”?
Holding my opinion until all evidence is in and car throughly checked out,

was killed shortly before 3 p.m When did he have lunch? Where did he eat?
No wonder Obama has a food taster. He obviously fears something, could it be because of projection?
I'm not surprised that there would be no autopsy... we don't want to find something incriminating in his stomach or bloodstream.

No autopsy is planned. Body count will be a risen.
I have a suspicion that Blago has his own set of tapes. He will get a pass or worse.
