Yeah, the part where Rahm was wheeling and dealing to get Rep. Shakowsky nominated to the senate must never see the light of day.

That's what I say. Blagojevich didn't have one-sided conversations with himself on the telephone, nor did he approach all the people he talked to but they said, "Whoa, not me. I would never do something like that!"

Works for me.

I want this information opened to the public AFTER the investigation, trial (s)
and convictions but not before.

It isn't as though we have a responsible MSM to handle such matters.
Anything but ............... they would screw up a trial just to get a few headlines
and without all of the facts.

Good ruling by the Judge.

Except--those tapes can't all be one-sided Blagoyevich, Who, for instance, showed interest in getting Obama's Senate seat?
