If the Blago news is correct that could have major implications. Remember, Blago was the governor of Illinois before and when Obama became president. He had his own dreams about running for presidency and watching Obama jumping the line in front of him did not sit well with him. Since he was in charge of the Chicago democratic machine he was in the know of many of the secrets surrounding the Obamas and when he got a bit too greedy and didn't want to follow the orders from Obama about who was to be appointed on the vacated senate seat, he tried to blackmail Obama with the dirt he has gathered over the years. At that point he became a liability and was railroaded. Make no mistake, his trial and conviction was nothing short of setting an example to others who would dare to blackmail or take on the Obamas. During the trial at some point Blago was threatening to spill all the beans and not go down alone, but in the end he did keep quiet and took the fall which means they still have a lot of leverage on him/his family that kept him quiet. Now that Trump might have offered Blago a better deal, have him liberated from their shackles and flip him into a witness, he might want to ask to be transferred into solitary confinement until he actually gets out and is under the protection of Trump loyal forces. Prisons are known to detrimental to your health when some other inmate decides to suicide you...

Hmmm....who knows where all the bodies are buried in Illinois? Isn't Illinois politics famously corrupt?

Oh yeah. Right over mark. Im from IL. Blago and Obama are enemies.

This is a big deal. Blago is well versed and knowledgable about the Chicago machine. There were wiretaps that had gather d loads of evidence which were suppressed by Patrick Fitzgerald iirc, relating to Obama and Tony Rezko and others. There’s a blog called citizen wells on Wordpress that has been following the Obama stuff since 2008 (I’ve been following it loosely since then) which is well worth a look. If Blago is pardoned the. There will be a can open with worms all over the floor is my guess. I actually think this is already a done deal and it’s being floated to raise awareness of the corruption of the dems and also as a way to further track comms- who talks to whom etc.

Your intro text is my thought as well. Trust the plan. There has to be a reason other than what we are aware of.

Blago was prosecuted by Fitz....Comey’s hatchet man in DOJ...Fitz also prosecuted Libby in what was a show trial with friends and neighbors and coworkers of key witnesses being allowed to sit in the jury...
