GRAND JURY SUBPOENAS ISSUED ON REZKO/OBAMA LAND DEAL
It looks like he’s trying to tie the past Rezko subpoenas in with the current news of the Governor’s arrest. It’s only a matter of time before the folks in Obama’s hood start turning on each other. For Drudge to stay red on the story he must have some more info.
Spitzer was far from the first...
Disgraced *DEMOCRAT* governors list:

Jim Guy Tucker: Convicted of bank fraud in the first Whitewater trial, Tucker resigned as Arkansas governor shortly after the verdict came down May 28, 1996. He was sentenced to four years' probation and probably escaped jail time because of his failing liver.

He served as the 52nd Governor of New Jersey from January 15, 2002, until November 15, 2004, when he resigned from office.

Milorad "Rod" R. Blagojevich, born December 10, 1956) is an American politician from the state of Illinois. A Democrat, Blagojevich currently serves as governor of Illinois and previously represented parts of Chicago in the U.S. Congress. ...
On December 9, 2008, Blagojevich was taken into custody by federal law enforcement agents at his home in Chicago.[5] The FBI confirmed in a 76-page news release allegations that the governor solicited significant contributions from candidates for consideration to fill President-Elect Barack Obama's vacant US Senate seat. His arrest included charges of conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud as well as solicitation of bribery.[6]
THE ARREST happened THIS morning.
Move along, serfs!
bwa ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, oh man that is one funny graphic. I’ve gotta get it.
where did it come from??!?
No, O supporters Hope that this will not affect O’s performance. What is the big deal? Look at The Big Picture. This is just a blip... Please move along.
With Obama having resigned, does anybody realize the Senate is WITHOUT a Dem majority.....at leastuntil January???
He’s sticking by the headline, so I’m hoping you’re right. I suppose there’s also the possibility that the story might draw more attention, now that the Blagojevich story has broken?
;) Have a great day. Happy Fitzmas hunting.
;) Thanks. Have a great day. Happy Fitzmas hunting.
The Obama Presidency
Up in Smoke?
LMAO!
So far as I can see what is new and “breaking” is that Gov. Blagojevich and his CofS were arrested this morning. The headline about Grand Jury subpoenas for the land deal seems to be 2 years old??
This is the breaking news today:
Illinois Gov. Blagojevich, chief of staff, arrested
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-rod-blagojevich-1209,0,7997804.story
Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested by FBI agents on federal corruption charges Tuesday morning.
Blagojevich and Harris were arrested simultaneously at their homes at about 6:15 a.m., according to Frank Bochte of the FBI. Both were transported to FBI headquarters in Chicago.
I’ve made my point twice...
if you still don’t get it, that’s not my problem
if the poster had posted a link to the article with the date;
we wouldn’t be wasting our time any further with this...
cyaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
Fitzi will be fired Jan 21.
“Nothing to get excited about. All federal prosecutors will be standing in unemployment lines by about 1:30pm on Jan 20, 2009.”
Unless a Special Prosecutor has been named to investigate the corruption in Illinois. They have a lot of leeway to take the investigation where it leads and the next President can’t make them go away.
“This will seriously tarnishes the halo.”
Do you think so? I don’t. If they don’t know who Nancy Pelosi is, they sure won’t know anything about this. Those who do know about it will think it’s a Zionist conspiracy or something.
Thanks for the ping! It provided a little excitement, but it looks as if the Obama connection basically was made by Drudge, not Fitz.
There IS a connection, of course, but it’s not at all clear that Fitz will pursue it. And Drudge has modified his headline to change the focus from Obama to Blagojevitch.
