Fitz just put out enough cards to seal the deal on the charges at hand. The investigation is still on going. Mostly it put a lot of people on notice that they may wish to consider a visit to their local FBI office for a little chat. Right now this is the tip of the iceberg.

However, Fitz did say that there is no evidence that Obama was involved with this corruption scandal. I, for one, hope he wasn't. That is about the last thing this country needs to go through right now. It is hard to say where this investigation will go once people start singing.

The wife got a big job when Obama was elected to the State Senate. Obama got to the Senate. Blag's wife found the house for the Obamas and negotiated with Rezko for the property next door. Obama pushed some stuff to all of them as Senator. So he is new to the quid pro quo stuff and can deny most of it easily. There are so many people to throw under the bus, it is mind boggling. But I think he can get away with it for now by saying "I just didn't know". But people won't forget and he will do something stupid and get caught. Maybe they work on the 2 year model, I have heard the 2 year thing before. I think that Obama and his wife have been mostly on the receiving end of gifts.

You do not get to where he is in Chicago without being crooked. It just doesn't happen. Everyone wants something and if they can't get it from you, they will make sure someone who can get it for them gets the office. Obama didn't get to be Senator on looks. He owes people.
