Former Blago aide pleads guilty to fraud ::BlagoSweating

Blagojevich's top right hand man John Harris just got up and plead guilty this morning to fraud, which of coarse means one more person out there with a big story to tell and federal agents more than willing to start listening anytime these people have anything to say and trade.

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
