Today in United States v. Rod Blagojevich: following up on his 2008 claims that then-Senator Barack Obama was one of a few people who could testify to his innocence, his defense team issued a motion today to subpoena the President to testify in court. Most of the juiciest bits involving Obama’s role in choosing a new Senator are blacked out, or so we thought. It turns a lucky PDF glitch gave us VIP access. Who wouldn’t want to see the blacked out part? Let’s investigate!
Most of the non-blacked out portions of the motion are predictably tame general knowledge: the seat in dispute belonged to the President; the FBI did speak with the President about this case at some point in time. A “labor union official” close to the President (who may be SEIU President Andy Stern) is said to contradict public statements on the case by Obama directly. The credibility of money man Tony Rezko being crucial to the case, the defense would like the President to testify about it. The defense also spends significant amount of time bringing up previous cases of sitting presidents being subpoenaed to testify in relevant cases. What the defense didn’t want you to see is the allegation that an Obama “supporter” offered Blagojevich “fundraising” in exchange for the seat. In other words: Blagojevich didn’t try to sell the seat; an Obama “supporter” tried to buy it.

Just dayum.
what’s the early line on Blago getting a Pardon vs. becoming the next Jim McDougal?
Blago will, in exchange for a presidential pardon and reduction of sentence to nothing for the time being (and a promise not to implicate Obama) Then, Blago will sue the state of Illinois for back pay.
Kick butt! Adobe comes to the rescue!
Blago has probably been promised a pardon and minimal (if any) jail time in exchange for his silence.
Excellent point regarding Stern’s resignation.. I hadn’t thought of that. Now we DO know why, indeed.
Well I do not think this will happen.
But to partially answer your question:
If the US wanted a US citizen for a crime (committed in the US) I think they would allow extradition.
BUT (BIG BUT) If said wanted criminal was NOT a US citizen, BUT an Indonesian citizen (went to school there...) I doubt Obama would be allowed extradition as he is Indonesian...
I'm just tryin’ to answer your question...

bump
If this can bring Obama down and get him impeached I am all for it. Yes we would be stuck with Biden, but at this point, Biden is the lesser of two evils
Thanks OldDeckHand.
Truth will out. The prayers of the Founding Fathers for the future of their “experiment” are protecting us. And if you are a praying person, keep praying.
John Adams and John Hancock:
We Recognize No Sovereign but God, and no King but Jesus! [April 18, 1775]
Benjamin Franklin:
“God governs in the affairs of man. And if a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without his notice, is it probable that an empire can rise without His aid? We have been assured in the Sacred Writings that except the Lord build the house, they labor in vain that build it. I firmly believe this. I also believe that, without His concurring aid, we shall succeed in this political building no better than the builders of Babel.” –Constitutional Convention of 1787 | original manuscript of this speech
“In the beginning of the contest with Britain, when we were sensible of danger, we had daily prayers in this room for Divine protection. Our prayers, Sir, were heard, and they were graciously answered… do we imagine we no longer need His assistance?” [Constitutional Convention, Thursday June 28, 1787]
Alexander Hamilton:
“For my own part, I sincerely esteem it [the Constitution] a system which without the finger of God, never could have been suggested and agreed upon by such a diversity of interests.” [1787 after the Constitutional Convention]
John Hancock:
“In circumstances as dark as these, it becomes us, as Men and Christians, to reflect that whilst every prudent measure should be taken to ward off the impending judgments, …at the same time all confidence must be withheld from the means we use; and reposed only on that God rules in the armies of Heaven, and without His whole blessing, the best human counsels are but foolishness… Resolved; …Thursday the 11th of May…to humble themselves before God under the heavy judgments felt and feared, to confess the sins that have deserved them, to implore the Forgiveness of all our transgressions, and a spirit of repentance and reformation …and a Blessing on the … Union of the American Colonies in Defense of their Rights [for which hitherto we desire to thank Almighty God]…That the people of Great Britain and their rulers may have their eyes opened to discern the things that shall make for the peace of the nation…for the redress of America’s many grievances, the restoration of all her invaded liberties, and their security to the latest generations.”
“A Day of Fasting, Humiliation and Prayer, with a total abstinence from labor and recreation. Proclamation on April 15, 1775”
Good point — another reason why the citizenship question should definitely be answered! ;)
In all seriousness thanks for the answer. I can honestly see Obama ‘disappearing’ and going into hiding like Osama... After all, as the bumpersticker says: The only difference between Obama and Osama is a little b.s.
I don’t think that’s going to work at this point... Blago was made to be the “fall guy”, and he’s NOT playing their game any longer. Plus, Obama is becoming too big of a liability for the DNC to sweep this under the rug. This may be their “OUT” (and SCOTUS and our Military’s way OUT as well) in regards to Obama’s eligibility. If he is impeached after being implicated in this, then the issue of his eligibility will simply fade away...
” Blago is NOT going to go down alone, if he goes down he will take everyone he can with him — count on it...”
Yup. I wouldn’t give a rubber nickle for Blago’s well being right now.
Agreed. Just like the Dems and Clinton covered up the radical Islamic element within the OKC attack, the Dems would blame such on the Tea Party elements — or White Supremacists... whichever plays into their desired script better.
