Illinois governor taken into federal custody.

This guy even makes Jersey pols look good. I can tell you, that takes some doing.

Now there is big speculation, the way USA Fitzgerald answered a question near the end of the conference, not verbatim: if offering a U.S. senate for sale is a crime, wouldn't the offering party be just as guilty??? He hemmed and hawed a bit, but acknowledged this as fact and admitted that the investigation is only beginning....

I'm not sure what you mean by this. Did you mean accepting party?

He's certainly broken seveal Federal laws by governing a US State with that haircut.

Could be August. I'm not too versed in those type of investigations. If someone offers said amount for a "favor" or such and is caught prior to the actual benefit from becoming reality, is it actually accepting? Not being a arsch or anything. But I will use that wording so we can all stay on the same page.

The interesting name that is being bandied about for the 'pay to play' is a son of a certain local reverand, who likes to rhyme in prime time.

And to the Kevin Smith fan, I wanted to say that originally, but wanted to keep Onkiel Neal off my aft.

I just wanted to be sure what you meant.

I'd think that anyone who offered to pay a crooked official in return for a "favor"might open themselves up to a charge of attempted bribery, no?

You and me would see it that way, but will the USAO see it that way also? I think that there may be a bit of kindling there because JJ jr's mouth piece confirmed that his client is potential senator #5...... I will hit this up when I hear anything more.
