Blagojevich’s in his own Reality Show “Who wants to be a Convict” Attempts to Subpoena Obama

All's Black and White even my Photo

Chicago, IL (Apr 23) – In between raising money to pay for his defense vying for spots on television game shows, and keeping himself out of prison, Rod Blagojevich hits a new low. Blagojevich may be taking these “reality” shows a bit too seriously.

Blagojevich’s yesterday, had his lawyers attempt to subpoena President Obama stating, “President Obama has direct knowledge to allegations made in the indictment.”

Of course this information at the moment is based upon the former Illinois Governor’s own personal “account” of the events of the days leading up to his arrest. This following a press conference earlier in the week in which, Blagojevich called the U.S. Attorney General prosecuting the case, a coward.

Apparently, Blagojevich deems U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald’s refusal to publicly release 500 hours of secretly recorded evidence in the case prior to, jury selection to be working against the defendant’s right to a fair trial.

Precedent cited by Blagojevich’s attorney to subpoena President Obama included: Thomas Jefferson being subpoenaed in the 1807 treason trial of Aaron Burr.

These startling revelations on the former Governor’s part much contrast the fact that if there were evidenced within the tapes proving involvement of now President Obama, surely the GOP would have managed to somehow obtain copies (if not the originals) and broadcast them all over the media by now.

Placing little weight against the words of a game show contestant verse the prosecutions tape recorded evidence, would lead even the layperson to the conclusion that, this is simply more “smoke and mirrors” coming from a desperate person.
