The judge presiding over former Gov. Rod Blagojevich's corruption trial called an emergency meeting Thursday evening after information that was intended to remain under seal was released to the public in a defense filing to subpoena President Barack Obama.
Judge James B. Zagel scheduled a 6 p.m. hearing in his chambers to question attorneys about why the redacted information was readable, according to reports.
But Blagojevich's attorneys denied that interpretation. When asked whether the meeting concerned the redacted documents, attorney Sheldon Sorosky responded simply "no."
The defense motion, filed Thursday afternoon, request to call President Obama as a corroborating witness and argued that Obama could verify that Blagojevich didn't try to sell his seat.
The filing contained several paragraphs that had been blacked out electronically. However, the underlying text was easily viewable in the electronic cersion of the document if a reader simply copied-and-pasted the paragraphs into another program.
The failure to properly redact is a relatively common one in government circles.
Where there is smoke. a Volcano is about to erupt.

Didn’t he use a Bible when they swore him in as POTUS? Did he have the fingers on his hand crossed?
Remember he had to do it twice! Wasn’t the 2nd time in the White House basement or something?
So what would a regular person’s penalty be for lying to the FBI?
oh my gosh!
Agreed. I can imagine so many scenarios at the moment that this may go into - and none good for Obama, frankly.
“So where on line can we find these transcripts?”
+++++++++++++
The motion is here.

Several parts are redacted, but you can easily copy and paste the entire motion into a text file and view all the redacted material. Oops on somebody’s part.
Nothing posted on this over at Hillbuzz.org and they’re in Chicago...but some very funny stuff if anyone needs a laugh.
“The judge and everyone involved will make sure Blago gets off and O,Raham and their crew are not touched. The judiciary is totally corrupt.”
But this will reveal how pathetic and corrupt they are in total view of the WHOLE WORLD. That will be worth something and may even limit the ‘protection’ they can offer. Still pathetic.
I don’t know for sure. But it is a Felony right. IMPEACHMENT.
“Bush’s fault!”
LOL...
Russia looks ethical, civilized, moral and untainted compared to Chicago/Obama/ZimbabAmerica.
lol.
redacted parts were readable.. hahaha
government efficiency
Palin would so beat a President Biden in 2012!
No need — Look up Taqqiya.
That’s why Biden won’t be running in 2012. It’ll be Hillary.
“The F-bomb is Rahmbo’s favorite word after all... “
He’s SUCH an intellect.../massive sarc
“Whoever is left will smell like a rose and I’m assuming at this point the DNC will argue to appoint Hillary as acting President.”
Really? It’d be Biden as Prez til 2012. I guess he could appoint Hill as Veep....barfola...
