UNCONFIRMED BULLETIN: PATRICK FITZGERALD REMOVED FROM OFFICE!
Sent to you by John via Google Reader:
In an unconfirmed report, conservative radio personality, Sean Hannity, announced today that Patrick J. Fitzgerald, United States Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois had been kicked upstairs by the Obama administration.
The solid, upright, apolitical, squeaky clean Fitzgerald, who had previously been the target of Hannity criticism, had been overseeing the continuing investigation of the Antoin "Tony" Rezko relationship and dealings with ousted Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich.
Rezko, Obama's good buddy and financier, was referred to by Hillary Clinton as a slumlord during the campaign for the Democratic presidential nomination. He was convicted in 2008 of fraud, corrupt solicitation, and money laundering.
Rumors had been afloat that he was ready to spill his guts on others involved in his criminal activities. Those could include the president of the United States.
If the report is confirmed, Fitzgerald's removal could signal the end of the investigation into the Rezko-Obama connection.
In related news, Obama's chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, has been accused of attempting to intimidate the nation's governors and the congress to cease criticizing the ineffectiveness of Obama's "stimulus" unless "you prefer to forfeit the money we are making available" to their states.
Republican Rep. Darrell Issa of California in effect advised Emanuel, who acts on the behalf of his fellow Chicagoan Obama, that typical Chicago strongarm tactics won't work in more civilized environs such as Washington: http://bit.ly/BidJ9.
You can take a president out of Chicago but you can't take the Chicago out of a president.
Obama is no joker
