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.

The FBI arrests a sitting Governor and you don't know why it's significant?

What does that have to do with the 5050 Greenwood deal, and the subpoena issued in 2006?

Spitzer was far from the first...

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?

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.

“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.
