Brian Ross interview: Blago Was Asked About Corruption With Higher Ups

[STARWISE]

I will wager that, the next few months, there will be an Olympian sized PR project put into play, with blabbermouth Blagojevich in the public eye, with all his jazz and bluster, constantly. We'll see if the retrial is postponed by some Fitzie 'fluke'to skirt the mid-term elections. If that happens, it'll be really fishy. Either way, I'll bet the Chicago Machine and WH will be all, anticipating Blago's every sputter.

Rod Blagojevich Starts Media Interview Blitz with Today Show, WLS-AM"

Bring on Rezko . . and Emanuel .. and Jarrett .. and Stuart Levine! Blago better keep a huge and effective security phalanx REAL close at ALL times.

** Ping!

Did Patrick the Prosecutor intentionally blow it again like he did in the Scooter Libby persecution? All of the traitors and criminals should have been called to testify, but weren’t. What a royal waste Patrick is. Street theater for the Peasants, setting the stage for the post-Election riots.

What a royal waste Patrick is

That, he is. Watch for the USGovt ‘promotion’
or leaving for a private career to earn more
money for his family’s future.

Now on the front page of the Drudge Report.

Blago Says, Like Winston Churchill, He Can Mount Dramatic Comeback -- Rod Blagojevich Hints That Feds Were After Barack Obama

Excerpt:

Goliath, in this telling, was a team of federal prosecutors that remains hell-bent on collecting the scalp that sits under his generous mop of thick brown hair.

"This is a person determined to get his trophy," he said of U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.

..... investigators tried to convince him to offer damaging information on "folks in higher places" in exchange for lenience.

Blagojevich said that Obama, even more than himself, had a longstanding, close association with Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who had become the subject of his own federal probe –...snip .....

The former governor said his very first meeting with Obama, then about to join the Illinois senate, came by way of Rezko's personal introduction

This is a Friday night dump. Notice how ABC is downplaying the importance of the implications here. Drudge has at the top: “CHICAGOLAND: Blago Hints Feds Were After Obama...”

Notice ABC Title:

Blago Says, Like Winston Churchill, He Can Mount Dramatic Comeback

and ABC Subtitle:

Rod Blagojevich Hints That Feds Were After Barack Obama

FREEPER ALERT - THIS IS BIG...

[STARWISE]

Except for Drudge, they’re sure all
couching the gist .. dang lamestreams,
always designing the news they want
to print.

Thanks STARWISE.

"Bribery issues are above my pay grade. Honey, have you seen my 'Pay To Play' t-shirt?"

[luckybogey]

It does not matter what we may or may not believe concerning the honesty of Blago, this is HUGE and could bring down a president. Think about it, if the GOP has control of the House, he could be called to testify.

[hoosiermama]

Check out Loop Enterprises who paid Senator Burris 5,000/m before he was appointed. It was run by BIL Craig Robinson and BO’s BF Jim R??? THey were involved in a pay for play in Philadelphia before the witness died.

Thanks hoosiermama.

It's all on the Chicago Crime thread....which I've been too busy and there's just too much information to up date.

Haven't given up of FBI and Fitz to get the job done....It's just so much corruption.

[Krankor]

Blago is lying through his teeth. C’mon. A lot of Freepers were sure Fitz arrested Blago before he could implicate Obama. Now were supposed to believe Fitz was after Obama all the time. Blago is a consummate scumbag. He swore up an down he’d testify at his trial- and he didn’t. Now he’s once again swearing up and down he’ll testify at his next trial. If it wasn’t for one looney juror, he’d be facing up to forty years right now. Mark my words, he’ll take a plea deal

[luckybogey]

I’ve read that Blago is now broke and don’t have the money for a new trial. Fitz is after the “big cheese” and I agree he will “plea deal” and it will sound like this:

Do the Country a favor. Blago please tell what you know. Talk about playing a pivotal role in the history of our Country.

Blago would be a hero if he was instrumental in getting Obama out of office.

Anyone who believes anything Blago says is a fool....
