I've been claiming Blago would attempt this on this blog since the man fell into trouble, (50 plus posts) and I'm here to tell all again "that everyone's throwing this trial off to the side as if it's some foregone conclusion as to what's going to occur."
Now Blagojevich is looking to subpoena Obama to testify as to whether or not he was in on the "seat sale" and this is going to bring out all kinds of nasty stuff that Obama and his psychotic defenders not gonna wanna hear.
They're "thick as thieves" these two Illinois bums, but the Obama spin machine has made the public think Obama is "above it all", when he's neck deep in the slime bucket just like the rest of them.
He's been able to keep them all at bay with bribes through the Porkulus payoff and I'd bet my mother's grave site on it I'm so absolutely sure of it..
Furthermore, the government will try and keep him from being part of the trial, but Blago's gonna take him down one way or another once he sees "for sure" that he's going to prison.
He's being careful now because he's delusional enough to believe that he still has a chance in politics, but as he sees that's impossible, he's going to take some people with him.And you can bet Obama will be the prize that will get him back in the good graces of the people and back into the "statehouse"... or perhaps even the White House, if the info is sweet enough to take down the administration and the Chicago Machine that it represents down in DC.
An action of which is the only way he can "trump the politicos in Springfield who hate him with a passion" both working and hoping to see him sent away for a while in order to keep him quiet about all the information he can provide about graft within the democratic party.
And we know he's sitting on the last egg of the golden goose. He may be nutty but he "ain't stupid" as he was once considered the top dem to run for president and he's still stewing that the Halfrican Boy wonder stole his thunder.
Mark my words, he's just holding on until he knows "he's done as a democrat forever", which again Americans like you and I already know, but he doesn't, because he's obviously as I've mentioned over and over "somewhat delusional", as we see from his continuous tries to stay in the public arena .. But he's a little snake and he's gonna strike back before all is said and done. And Obama's sweating his tail off waiting for this one to go away quietly.
That's right and once it's proven he did have something to do with it all he's going to sink like a rock in a river. Obama I'm talking about. He'll be done.Chicago Breaking News: "Lawyers for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich today asked a federal judge for permission to subpoena President Barack Obama to testify at Blagojevich's upcoming trial.Blagojevich is charged with using his office to enrich himself and close associates, including allegations he tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat that Obama vacated in 2008 with his election to the White House.Blagojevich's lawyers have previously suggested they might try to question the president.'President Obama has direct knowledge to allegations made in the indictment,' the defense said in its filing. 'In addition, President Obama's public statements contradict other witness statements.'The defense said it still has not received notes from FBI interviews of Obama even though it first sought that material in December.Blagojevich's lawyers contend that some of Obama's public remarks that no representatives of his had any stake in any alleged deals Blagojevich had over the senate seat has been contradicted by some witnesses in interviews with the FBI and federal prosecutors. That allegedly contradictory information has been blacked out of the new filing, though the defense asked in a footnote that the entire filing be unsealed.The filing said that only Blagojevich - who is expected to testify in his own defense - and the president can corroborate some of Blagojevich's claims that there was no conspiracy to sell the seat.'President Obama is the only one who can say if emissaries were sent on his behalf, who those emissaries were, and what, if anything, those emissaries were instructed to do on his behalf,' the motion states."
