Actually, Rahm is pretty much a non-issue here - his trial balloon went over with a thud. And the deal between Blago and Barry is just business as usual.

Good to know. I was curious how Rahm’s announcement was received there...

Thanks devolve. I wouldn't want to be that judge. How we would love to see Obama have to testify, but bet he would still lie and get away with it.

Records and recordings implicating him will never be seen or heard I'll bet.

He looked kind of frightened when Obama was leaning toward him too, as if he was going to get that Mafia ‘kiss of death’, lol.

"Isn’t this a monster story getting no ink anywhere except a few threads here?"

Fox Cable News has been reporting on it.

This is good theater, but no judge will allow a sitting president to be subpoenaed.

Blago, however, had better have his life insurance paid up and said his good byes. And if he gets on the same plane as you, get off!

according to some talking heads....Reagan, Bush and Clinton all gave testimony in trials after being subpoenaed and gave testimony for various things while president. I found that interesting.

[redgolum]

Hmm, I will check that out.

This case is “local” for me, as I live on the Iowa side of the Mississippi river. A lot of the Illinois locals are laughing that Bambi and Blago were so stupid as to get caught this time.

ROFLMAO!!!!!!

It’s becoming more clear each day that people who are supposed to be responsible, and have taken an oath of office as required for their position, are commiting bare-faced treason, rather than doing their job.

Friend, it has been that when in Chicago since it was a swamp.

For that matter, it has been that way in this USA since it was part of old England. That is part of the reason the founding fathers left us a very inefficient form of government. The goal was to make no one branch so powerful it overwhelmed the others.

Unfortunately, we have decayed from a Republic to a Democracy, and are heading for a Tyranny. Such is the life cycle of Republics.

......they knew how to keep Jack Ryan's divorce records sealed when Obama dropped him out of the race 7 weeks before the Senate election.....

Yeah, Ryan's crotch went ballistic---wanted his then-wife to engage in public sex acts.
