POWIP Piece of Work In Progress

Blago Speaks

From the very beginning, Blago's security was lodged in what he knew about other very well connected politicians, and what it would mean if he were rolled. It's with exquisite timing that he decided to speak now, when so much of Obama's agenda hangs in the balance and in the wake of the Van Jones fiasco.

Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Tuesday that statements he made on secret FBI wiretap tapes were taken out of context by prosecutors and that he might try to call senators and a top White House official as witnesses at his racketeering and fraud trial to back his version of events.

Blagojevich told The Associated Press in a phone interview that he might even try to subpoena President Barack Obama as a witness at his trial, but the court is unlikely to compel the president to testify.

It will be interesting to see whether the DoJ attempts to quash Fitzgerald's investigation.
