"Complete Panic" At Highest Levels Of DNC

The case snared more than one politician. JJ Jr being one. Which led to investingations into his own activities, and subsequent arrest, trial and conviction. But it was Blago's own phone calls that pointed to a much larger target...he'd called the White House. There is no evidence that he'd ever spoken to anyone of significance, at the White House, but if government prosecutors were trying to prevent someone from getting tangled up in Blago's mess, start there, and work your way back to Madigan, who, more or less runs the state. Nothing happens within these borders that he doesn't know about. And, the Illinois Democrats will do anything to protect him. Bear in mind, this is also Illinois. If someone in government wants you out of the way, you're gotten out of the way. By any means necessary. If they want your property, they take it. If someone wants your wife, they take her. And, we're talking about the governor. Once elected, governors in Illinois are guaranteed two terms. One in office, and one in prison. And, nobody is unconnected. Blago's harsh sentence is practically a demand to rat someone out. The only person I'm sure Blago wouldn't rat out is his wife who was involved in some very profitable and questionable real estate dealings with guys like Tony Rezko. I figure that if Pat Fitzgerald was protecting higher-ups, he'd let Blago off with a wristslap. Or maybe Blago is on the phone with Jeff Sessions right now. I'm reminded of the story David Brinkley told about the wiretaps LBJ put on his phone: "I have great sympathy for the men who monitored my phone and had to endure the inane conversations of my two teen age daughters." |
