Blago Trial

There is more here than we want to know but the President more than likely was involved in the plan to get Oama's friend Vallarie Jerrett as his replacement. A three paragraph letter turned into prosecutors with information from Tony Rezko that Rezko said he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a lobbyist to a public official, that a lobbyist would hold fundraisers for this official in exchange for favorable official action-the public official rejected the offer. The letter also says the public official denies any such conversation. There is only one person to confirm it is true. President Obama
U.S. District Judge James Zagel and a federal prosecutor are trying to keep Obama out of this. Blego's lawyers were turned down by the judge. All became known Friday when by a mistake made in filing a document, a partially sealed document and not able to seal it.
In other words Rezko tried to bribe Obama and says Obama turned him down. Obama says it never happened. They are not really wanting to bring Rezko into Blego's trial as they have enough alleged evidence to try him with out Rezko's testimony. We don't know if Rezko will become a witness.
Another problem Blego's lawyers trying to get notes from FBI agents who interviewed Obama after Blego's arrest. Zagel says information not necessary for trial, but will leave open if they need this information.
A second problem more concerning might show if he authorized a labor union official to negotiate a deal with Blago to get Valarie Jerret as his replacement.
If this comes out at the trial it will become more important than the trial because Obama will become the star attraction.
I am hoping this all comes out or will they keep it from us?
If nothing else it makes a bad mark for the President because it appears he was somehow involved. Whether he crossed the law or not it doesn't look good for him.
I personally think it is deeper than we think but they are trying to keep it from us.And I believe the common denominator is Rezko. We still don't know everything about the land deal on the Obama's house and other matters that came up in the election. They need to release the tapes, they are our tapes, we paid for them, and we deserve the truth. Marna
