Case against Blago: 400 hours of taped calls, 1 million documents

[Are_grits_groceries]

Prosecutors have turned over to Rod Blagojevich's lawyers 400 hours of recorded calls and at least 1 million pages of documents they say are evidence in the massive corruption case against the ex-governor.

And that's just a sliver of it.

There are an additional 300 boxes of documents Blagojevich's lawyers can go through, another 2 million documents involved in the case and at least another 500 hours of recorded phone calls that were deemed not pertinent, lawyers in the case say. The evidence was so voluminous, it came with a 185-page index.

The evidence includes documents from Blagojevich's gubernatorial and campaign offices and documents tied to others in the case, including John Harris, Chris Kelly, Stuart Levine and Lon Monk.

Michael Monico, a lawyer for Kelly, said in a recent court filing that he has received 265 disks containing hundreds of thousands of documents.

Were they keeping up with him since birth? Good grief.

1. wow..send that investigative team after the bush folks...

but i'm willing to bet bush covered his tracks a lot better...Blago probably didn't even care...

7. They did. Exact same team, against Bush in the Plame affair.

The Bushies were smart enough to cover their tracks and route everything through fall guys like Libby.

2. So all those who said Fitzgerald had nothing and was just fishing?

4. Yeah, too bad we couldn't dedicate 1/1000 of an effort to investigate War Crimes such as TORTURE ...

instead of a "pay to play" scheme that EVERY DAMN LEGISLATOR at one time or another in his/her career would be found guilty.

I KNOW that if they would have dedicated this much time to ANY (perhaps save for Kucinich) Congress-critter, they would have found law-breaking. The lack of profanity wouldn't make them any less guilty.

6. He has to be appointed to that job before he can do it.

[ShortnFiery]

3. Wow, If they taped that much of "you and I" would they find nothing? I smell WITCH HUNT.

p.s. I never liked Fitzpatrick ... IMO, he's having one hell-of-va Opus Dei of middle management Authoritarian THUGs. :tinfoilhat:

5. It is Fitzgerald not Fitzpatrick.

The least of your errors.

8. So you've gone from "he's got nothing, he's a loser,"

to "that's way too much evidence, he's a loser."

You're consistent in your inconsistency, at least.
