Blago Out
2009-01-29
Illinois Senate Kicks Blagojevich Out of Office.
Now we just need an investigation into B.O.s involvement. It was his former Senate seat... What did he know, and when did he know it?!?
The Illinois Senate also voted to bar Blago from ever holding office again. As if he'd even get his wife's vote right now ...

#8  I'm afraid this ends USA Fitzgerald's career in Chicago. All the remainders from all camps, POTUS-Mayor Daley-Cook Co machine, are aligned in agreement that this strand of corruption Rezko to Blagojevich is sufficient for the task assigned.

That, and we're relying on Sens. Durbin and Burris to carry the political fight for his retention.

I suspect AG Holder will have enough cover to include Fitz in the group which will leave, and they may give him a parting enticement of some sort - ambassador/judgeship/asst. cabinet post in a security function.

Assuming they can actually do that, I'm positive it's only for Illinois.

When he gets out of jail (assuming he goes), he should move to New Jersey and run for office there....

#2  I'm sure that there were more than a few 'tight sphincters' in both houses of the Illinois legislature today.

The quicker they could get this done, the better (before the 'flashlights of truth' could shine into all the dark nooks and crannies).

Not much will will be done by the US DOJ in the way of 'spreading out' their investigations either, I'm afraid. Obstruction by the new improved Executive Branch will see to that. What we know now will probably be all that there is made public.

#1  I think their next step is to drive Blago into the Sinai wilderness with a switch.
