Really sucks that he has to pay his lawyers for another trial. Only one paying is Robert IF they retry him. Blago's defense will now be paid by the taxpayers.

UPDATE:
***Jury has chosen NOT TO TALK ABOUT THE PROCESS
AND VERDICT, and they don’t have to. It’s their choice.
I’m sure the hunt will be on by the press,
the prosecutors and defense team. Knowing about
this crowd, there’s probably already some clerk
negotiating.

The “you lied to us” is now a catch-all charge that is thrown in so that the jury can “agree” on, when nothing else can stick.
It also perpetuates the power of the state over citizenry.

The NEXT trial I guess it's just me, but I think that if the government couldn't make their case the first time, they should get a second shot.

I’m dying .. they’re just saying the retrial could
get started fairly quickly .. BEFORE THE ELECTION.
ROFL !!!!!!!!!
Oh, thank you . . thank you .. our Angel in the
Whirlwind. Praise God .. bless us, protect us,
save us, dear Lord.
Saying that, thinking Blago was going to testify,
the Govt held back certain tapes, etc.
BRILLIANT MOVE, SAM ADAM AND DEFENSE TEAM!!!
Imagine: the govt wins nearly 99% of the time!!!!
Covering now

Lying under oath is perjury.
If lying when you are not under oath is a crime, why wasn’t Clinton convicted when he was impeached? He pointed his finger at the nation on camera and said he didn’t have sex with that woman...

Precisely. The lesson is never talk to them. Sad but true.
Though in this case, you have to wonder what the vote was on the other 23. If it was 11-1 or 10-2, you have to wonder if someone “got” to a jury member or two. If the split was more even, no way they should re-try.

Moral of the story (again): never try to “explain” things to the FBI.
It’s amazing how incompetent they are, everything was on tape and they couldn’t prove anything!!!

LOL!
Just as the Founding Fathers intended - "lying to federal agents" is a crime.
Of course, if Blago had hit Fitzgerald in the face with a pie, THAT would be ANOTHER felony count!

Gov’t will retry on at least some of the counts...just announced. Sure, why not? They have a blank checkbook funded by taxpayer dollars - just as the Founding Fathers intended!
Oh, wait...
