This is bad news for Blagojevich and possibly Obama down the slowly winding so called road of justice that gets longer with connects and green, which means this guy will testify against him should he decide to go to trial next June
CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Gov. Blagojevich: "A former top aide to Rod Blagojevich pleaded guilty today to wire fraud, admitting he discussed having his then boss appoint an adviser to President Obama to the U.S. Senate in exchange for financial benefits for the ex-governor.
The 26-page plea deal details various conversations that allegedly took place between Blagojevich and his former chief of staff, John Harris, concerning who would fill Obama’s open seat."Harris’ plea deal also reveals a new allegation against the ex-governor concerning an unidentified “Senate Candidate D,” who last year allegedly plotted to turn over money from the candidate’s own campaign fund to Blagojevich in exchange for the appointment.
As part of his plea deal, Harris has agreed to act as a witness against Blagojevich or in any other investigation
Blagojevich faces wide ranging corruption charges ranging from trying to sell Obama’s seat to the highest bidder to extorting the CEO of a children’s hospital for campaign cash. continued
