Washington Wire - WSJ.com : The Real Story Behind the Rushed Blagojevich Bust: How the Feds Are Frustrated by Losing (Maybe) Half of Their Case

"Members of Fitzgerald’s team are livid the scheme didn’t advance, at least for a little longer, according to some people close to Fitzgerald’s office. Why? Because had the plot unfolded, they might have had an opportunity most feds can only dream of: A chance to catch the sale of a Senate seat on tape, including the sellers and the buyers.

The precise timing of Tuesday’s dramatic, pre-dawn arrest was not dictated by Fitzgerald, nor was it dictated by the pace of Blagojevich’s alleged “crime spree.” It was dictated by the Chicago Tribune, according to people close to the investigation and a careful reading of the FBI’s affidavit in the case."

Obama seems to have gotten word that his friend was under the Fed's scope...then the curtain falls through the Tribune's article announcing unto the whole World what was going on. It doesn't seem to be legal, or at least not moral to save a criminal. But then again, we're talking about fellow Democrats saving Democrats (and the "saving" may have included Obama himself). Some hold an important government office and some an important office in the media. Heck, I forgot that that's how the DNC works. Some work here, some work their, but they all work for the DNC's agenda and longrange goals: socialism.
