The Blagojevich fella is not going down without a fight:

In a move intended to force public testimony from President-elect Barack Obama’s inner circle, a lawyer for Gov. Rod Blagojevich has asked the legislative panel considering impeachment of the governor to subpoena more than a dozen witnesses, including Obama’s incoming chief of staff.

State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie told The Associated Press on Thursday that the House committee received a letter from Blagojevich attorney Ed Genson asking it to subpoena Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett and more than a dozen others, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

Currie, the head of the committee, said she didn’t yet know what the committee’s response to Genson’s request would be.

However, she noted that the U.S. Attorney’s office has already denied the panel’s request to interview a list of people named in the criminal complaint against Blagojevich.

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said earlier this week that lawmakers’ interviews of current or former members of Blagojevich’s staff might jeopardize his criminal investigation.
FIND MORE STORIES IN: White House | Barack Obama | United States Senate | Illinois | Rod Blagojevich | Chicago Sun-Times | Rahm Emanuel | Valerie Jarrett | Ed Genson | Greg Craig | Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. | Genson

Currie said the House panel’s next meeting is set for Monday.

There was no immediate response Thursday to messages seeking comment from Genson, the U.S. attorney’s office in Chicago, Jackson, and attorneys for Jarrett and Emanuel.

Members of Obama’s transition team declined to comment.

Enough is enough. Sometimes, when you f*ck up, you should just let things go and keep it pushing. SMH

    This greasy bastard better not f*** up our President-elect. This guy is disgusting and needs to be under the jail.

  • Vee (its Bossladee if u nasty)

    Why are they letting this *&^%$ make demands–when he’s the one being accused of a crime?? They should be impeaching and investigating him, ONLY. He’s just trying to put a damper on Obama’s upcoming inauguration–NOT!

    This should be an embarassment to a man considered to be the next president and is still being investigated in any manner possible. I think most people get that for some reason black people are always in the picture or associated with trouble in the media. It shows that change is not possible if the system doesn’t change and give black men a fair chance to prove what we can do if given the chance. We waited for this moment in time, but I hope it hasn’t been a setup to distort or give a negative portrayal of our leadership around the world. Bush probably the most contraversal, although has never been tampered or investigated.

    he needs to hang it up. i doubt if he would be pulling these stunts if Obama hadn’t been elected president.

    Obama has already responded to this situation, and it was already found that he had nothing to do with this jerk and his shadiness in no way, shape, or form. this guy is just desperate.

    Politics is like a game board, where the players are the ones in the box. Monopoly is a game set up by the setting the record, all we have is monopoly money and they have our stakes. Whether a politician or not, this critism has been slowly deteoriating a certain, undisclosed identity in this country.

    I have faith in PE Obama and his team, (except, I don’t like Rick Warren, he discriminates agaisnt gays & that’s not right).

    I think PE Obama is trying to do what’s best for our country & all the American people. He knows that there’s dishonest, hateful, racist, opportunistic, evil people in our country that are trying to bring him down. They can’t touch him, he’s above that.
    to eddiedollars215: SHUT UP!
    Stop trying to destroy our hope, stop dividing & stop the hating.
    GO OBAMA!

  • frida

    Oh, I forgot to mention, Blajo is an idiotic, narcissitic, delusional punk for even thinking of tainting PE Obama.
    SCREW Blago!

    Gov. Blago made a number big mistakes. While being under investigation he made more enemies by attempting to extort Washington bound Illinois machine politicians and government staff.

    Once Mr. Barack Obama was elected President why did Blago think he would get away with discussing Bank of America on national television in front of a group of protesting union workers? He said, “Today I would like everyone in Illinois to stop doing business with Bank of America.” The next day his hands & hair were in handcuffs.

    Rahm is known in Chicago for sending his political foes dead fish. I have no idea why Blago tested the POWERS.

    Also this scandal helped to get the hounds off of corrupt Daley Jr. and the NO CHANGE express… Obama’s cabinet selection. Who wins? Hillary and Bill Clinton because she got her cushy’ job and I bet Obama will pay her debt off…like she needs the money.

  • always knew

    @EDDIE DOLLARS- WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN?? YOU HAVE BEEN GONE A LONG TIME…I ENJOY SOME OF YOUR POSTS…HOW WAS YOUR CHRISTMAS?

    Blago is getting REAL desperate…He knows he is going down , so now he is grasping for anything he can, to try to take a few of them (Barack and his staff) with him…I hope truth prevails. I want this guy to go to jail, for a long time. He is corrupt, as all get out….

    What ball, or lack thereof, to try to bring Barack down, just because he is losing, his entire life….Some folk, will stop at nothing….Barack hasn’t even got into office good and already ‘scandals’ looming..I hope thisis cleared up quickly and that we can move forward…..

    You are the only one that peeped that. He got himself into a TON of trouble when he spoke out against Bank of America..They didn’t take it too kindly and he was done from there, stick a fork in him….

    I didn’t know Rahm was so thuggish…WoW! Who says thugs are only on the street?? They are MOST DEFINITELY in high offices, too…But, I take that back..Bush was the biggest THUG of them all….

    He got that fake war, off!!

    @Always Knew: Here’s a little TMI for you.

    The FBI will comb this entire planet to lock up a bank robber, yet they can’t find Bin Ladin. I believe he has a 25million dollar bounty dead or alive on his head…He has to be dead.

    Rahm-bo’s was also an investment banker at Wasserstein Perella. Former “INVESTMENT BANKER,” who has Clinton and Banking ties going back and forward with Blago on wiretaps. I knew immediately when Blago spoke against Bank of America on national television he was going DOWN! This marlarkey is all smoke screens——- He’s named after an outlaw ZIONIST group member who was killed by ‘Arabs.’ He studied ballet, I bet he wears tu-tu’s behind closed doors.

    Joe Biden is a non-jewish zionist. For all I know Obama is a Zionist. Iran here we come. What did McCain say? “Bomb bomb BOMB bomb Iran”. Rahmbo is a jew so quite naturally he has strong ties to Israel and an unyielding loyalty to the Clintons…I bet he killed for them back in the 90′s, but I have no proof just a bunch of dead people cropped up during Clintons fake impeachment that never happened. I’ve been studying the entire group of players and flunkies.

    I have no idea what any of this means for oppressed people in Palestine.

    As I’ve watched Obama methodically pick out his cabinet I agree with eddiedollar above who called Barack a puppet. Bush is also a puppet not much more. Cheney and Rove are the brains…Rumsfield, Condi, and Powell…gave Bush and Co. credibility with Regan Democrats, moderates and neo-cons. Everyone trusted General Colin Powell, had he not spoke in favor of invading Iraq perhaps the US would have had little support from other countries. Before this is over we’ll all be donating money to both sides just like Jesse Jr. donated to McCain and Obama its nothing personal just business. You wanna talk about MONEY, if I wasn’t being watched I would move to Switzerland and become an Arms Dealer.

    This has nothing to do with any of this but I have to express this. Obama and change mean nothing. What the hell. DO you think that people respect black people anymore NOPE NOPE NOPE. I just got pulled over for being black driving a luxury car. When asked what the probable cause the Officer did not have an answer. He steady replied, me asking you for your license and registration.

    I know this sounds simple, but last time I checked you needed probable cause to pull someone over.

    This situation leaves one feeling powerless. It also remimnds one that there is no true freedom or equality.

    There is no hope for the world.
