If he does, it's all downhill from there.

[pabianice]

Gee. The suspense is UNBEARABLE... /S

Do polar bears defecate on the ice?...............

If Obama fires him, he will never live it down.

Let the chips fall where they may.

And if I were Blago, I'd wear a bullet-proof vest and helmet.

[jalisco555]

He won’t dare after all that has gone down.

[MrB]

Fitzi’s covering 0bama’s ass. He’ll keep him on for the duration of his term.

First he delays the investigation so that there was no deleterious effects on 0bama’s election,

then he quickly wraps it up before any “bigger fish” can get ensnared in with Blago.

Clear coverup.

[jpl]

He can probably get away with firing all the other ones, but I don't see how he can fire Fitzgerald.

If he does, his credibility will pretty much be shot before he's even settled in.

[expatpat]

or would Fitz soft-pedal in exchange for keeping his job....

[mgc1122]

I don't even think the big Zero has the cajones to do this - not in the first 4 years.

“Pray we’re that fortunate. Pray they’re that stupid.”

[Jackson57]

Fitzgerald’s job is on the line ... if he can insulate Obama from Rezko and Blago he’ll keep it. Otherwise, he’s out with the rest. Hmmmmm ... seems like this is a preplay of when Clinton took office. Fired all US Attorneys and some were, coincidentally, investing people who could have implicated Bubba.

[gundog]

Promote him. He stopped the investigation before the whole State of Illinois became indictable.

[Cheerio]

If he does, it's all downhill from there.

What makes you say this? It will turn him into a saint. Dems and Libs only want to see corruption coming from the GOP, never every want to witness RAT corruption. It comes with the territory - RATS all know this as a badge of honor. I love how Rush has been talking about today's DBM mantra that Rod Blagojevich IS INSANE, and will use the INSANE defense. Don't want this to look like politics as usual in the RAT party.

[Tzimisce]

Yes.

And the media (who wanted Bush impeached for firing 8 lawyers) will cheer Obama on....

[Deo volente]

He doesn’t have to fire him. He can promote him to a higher position in the Justice Dept.

That way, he removes him from the investigation while appearing to reward him for his conscientious service to the nation. The media will fawn as usual.

[teletech]

I’d say Obama will fire Fitz first thing.

[bigbob]

He may as well hang up a sign saying “I’m a one-term President” if he does.

BLAGO'S BLUE FITZMAS
Tune: "Blue Christmas"

I'll have a blue Fitzmas indicted
I'll have to do something to fight it
Allegations they read of the green that I sought
Don't mean a thing, 'cause as yet nobody's bought

And when my blue colleagues disown me
That's when my blue "F" words start flowing
My old pal sees my plight, but he throws me from his bus
So I'll have a blue, blue Fitzmas

I hate this blue Fitzmas disruption
It puts a crimp in my corruption
Senate seat up for sale should bring oodles of cash
But instead I post bail and I break out in a rash

And when my blue colleagues disown me
That's when my blue "F" words start flowing
My old pal sees my plight, but he throws me from his bus
So I'll have a blue, blue, blue Fitzmas

[doodad]

This is from a fairly high level lawyer friend in Chicago.

He says “Nobama” is in it up to his ears
but everybody is bailing him out and this could be bigger than Watergate. He
also says that the DA usually files all kinds of motions and investigations
and then files the complaint, but the complaint was filed first because
Nobama is going to replace the DA or Fed Att on January 21.

[ozzymandus]

Fitz is playing ball with Obama. He stopped the investigation before implicating Obama, Jesse Jr, Emanuel, Daly, and a whole host of other RATS. Contrast this to Fitz’s dragging out the Plame investigation for months in an attempt to find a crime when there was none. he had to settle for Scooter Libby’s head on some minor made-up charge.

[Non-Sequitur]

I expect he’ll fire every one except Fitzgerald. He’s not stupid.
