The Tribune is protecting The One. It is, after all, the job of the press.
Had this continued on for a few more weeks, we might have seen half the politicians in Illinois arrested...and three-fourths of Obama’s advisers.
The press has a job, and they do it well.
More to the point of the article, is the Tribune protecting The One? I think we know the answer to that question.
Who would be surprised after his railroading of Scooter Libby?

I saw this posted here yesterday, but maybe it’s worth it.
EVERYONE is PROTECTING OBAMA!!!!
No.
Fitzgerald doesn’t protect anyone.
YES!
I’d doubt that he’s protecting him.....he just followed where Blago’s predations went and rolled tape. He supposedly has 300 hours worth - at some point you have to pull the plug or turn it into a reality tee vee show.

Good question. Why hasn’t BO been arrested yet?:

Defense Lawyers Assess Case Against Blagojevich

Chicago U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald is an old hand at political corruption trials. The initial evidence he’s brought against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich appears to be overwhelming. [snip]
Comments:
Here are the facts linking Obama to Blagojevich, in a letter I sent to Patrick Fitzgerald.
Dear Mr. Fitzgerald:
Today you told the press, in connection with the Blagojevich arrest, “We were in the middle of a corruption crime spree and we wanted to stop it.” And yet most of the complaint is based on evidence you have had for a number of years. In other words, if the matter concerning the appointment of a Senator were removed, you would still have had enough evidence to indict Blagojevich. In fact, the complaint shows that you have enough evidence for a number of years.
This means that you and no one else, allowed Blagojevich to continue on a “crime spree” long after you had enough evidence to arrest him. Indeed, he would never have gotten to the point at which he was about to sell a Senate seat, if you had arrested him earlier. Why did you not do so? Why did you allow him to commit more crimes?
And now you are about to show the same negligence again. You are apparently about to make the same mistake with regard to Barack Obama. As you probably know, Evelyn Pringle has published detailed online articles concerning Obama’s participation in “Operation Board Games” crimes. Below, I reproduce paragraphs from your own Blagojevich complaint, and after them, a section from the Pringle Obama articles dealing with precisely the same facts as the complaint.
Her articles show in detail that Obama has committed the same 18 USC 1346 crimes you discuss in your Blagojevich complaint. And yet he has not yet been arrested. Why not?
Just as you allowed Blagojevich to get to the point where he was about to sell a United States Senate seat, so you allowed Obama to be elected President, and apparently you are willing to let him continue his own crime spree by actually becoming President.
It was irresponsible for you to continue to allow Blagojevich to continue in office when you had enough evidence to arrest him, and it is irresponsible of you now to allow Obama to continue in office and become President, when you have enough evidence to arrest him.
Arrest Obama now. It is irresponsible of you to wait any longer.
Sincerely yours,
John Ryskamp

So, what’s the criminal statue and penalty for a journalist who blows an undercover sting operation on purpose?
Simpson? OJ, Homer, Bart or Lisa?
Why did the Chicago Tribune have the story in the first place? Who gave it to them?
