22. However, the defense has a good faith belief that Mr. Rezko, President Obama’s former friend, fund-raiser, and neighbor told the FBI and the United States Attorneys a different story about President Obama. In a recent in camera proceeding, the government tendered a three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated in interviews with the government that he engaged in election law violations by personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public official who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official denies being aware of cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or others and denies having conversations with Rezko related to cash contributions. … Rezko has also stated in interviews with the government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action, but that the public official rejected the offer. The public official denies any such conversation. In addition, Rezko has stated to the government that he and the public official had certain conversations about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official denies having had. [Footnote No. 10 - The defense has a good faith belief that this public official is Barack Obama.

Special Prosecutor. Investigation headed toward impeachment on the way!

Blago is playing hardball politics. He's got the good on Obama and either these charges get dropped or the Chicago buried bodies start popping to the surface.

“He’s got the good on Obama and either these charges get dropped or the Chicago buried bodies start popping to the surface.”

That is exactly the game Blago and his lawyer are playing. They have the goods and expect the charges to be dropped or a hand slap.

Maybe in January 2011. If all goes well in November, 2010.

Dunno. My sense is America has let Chicago do its own thing in Illinois for centuries, but wants no part of that thugocracy in DC.

All politics is local. The average, say Montanan or Mississippian takes umbrage at this assault coming from the Fed.

I have not been here on FR awhile but I heard Obama had to escape to the woods somewhere today?

Venting a little frustration maybe?

Oh I definitely think this will go somewhere, and Blago will not get a pardon either.

The defense moved to redact (black out) the portions which are in bold — all the good stuff.

Someone discovered that could be removed and the full document shown.

NOBODY has reported this yet. FReeper Exclusive!

More and more I’m thinking Blago was more of a screw-up than we realized. He never learned to play the Chicago politics game. If he had, he would have sold the damn seat instead of getting caught TRYING to sell it. He would have millions stashed instead of having to prostitute himself and his wife to get money to live on. And because he never learned how to play the game, he’s not going to get one up on a guy who learned the game from the masters. Blago vs the Obama Thugs - who do you think is going to win?

I’m loving this. Blago has the ‘nads to take a whole lot of people down with him if he goes down. He might be Secretary of Commerce by the time all of this is over.

Assume mean “exclusive” except for the dozen or so FR threads on the redacted materials since yesterday?

You need to send this again the right way. With attribution.

The way you have done it is useless.
