Such "family togetherness" is often found in gangs and crime families.

The Blogojeviches look like they're trying to rival the Bush Crime Family. They still have a ways to go.

Oh boy. I have a feeling this is going to get pretty ugly. I can't say that I am surprise at this. It is highly unlikely that they knew nothing of any alleged wrongdoing that might have taken place. If they were directly involved they better get some real attorneys.

Doesn't matter. Someone else will. Someone who will be handsomely rewarded later. Just stating the reality.
