This story is just breaking I just saw it on TV. All I have to say is HOLY CRAP!!!! Now you tell me there isnt some corruption in the banking industry. Is someone going to tell me this TOO is a coincidence? He takes on the banks one day and the next he is sitting in jail. At least he wasnt killed like JFK, Lincoln, or Louis Thomas McFadden. Let this be a lesson to all. You take on the banks you take a dirt nap or get jail time.

Looks like someone stepped where they should not have dared stray...

My personal theory on this is that all politicians are kept under watch, and little negative tidbits that can destroy them are always just one "mistake" away from going public if the need arises. It would be so easy to do that I can't see how it wouldn't happen.

Governor Blagojevichjust made his mistake. He screwed with a big bank that doesn't want to be messed with.

MY BIg I have been posting about chicago's corrupt politicians, this is huge and I believe it wil include Obama.

A three-year federal corruption investigation of pay-to-play politics in Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration has expanded to include his impending selection of a new U.S. senator to succeed President-elect Barack Obama, the Tribune has learned.

Note to others in power... Play ball or go to jail.

This reminds me of the Spitzer case.

(It wasn't Mark...doh!)

yup as I pointed out just a few above. You mess with big banks you get a dirt nap or jail time. I just sent an email to everyone I know about the corruption that is going on in our country and world for that matter. They not only control this country but they control the world also. Disgusting.

Apparently this is not connected to the BoA decision:

A three-year federal corruption investigation of pay-to-play politics in Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration has expanded to include his impending selection of a new U.S. senator to succeed President-elect Barack Obama, the Tribune has learned.

Federal authorities got approval from a judge before the November general election to secretly record the governor, sources told the Tribune, and among their concerns was whether the selection process might be tainted. That possibility has become a focus in an intensifying investigation that has included recordings of the governor and the cooperation of one of his closest friends.

The governor has not been accused of any wrongdoing. The specific contents of the recent recordings have not been disclosed. Blagojevich has said the appointment of a Senate successor, which is his choice alone, could come in a matter of weeks.

Right but why now? Why arrest now? Im sick of all of these "coincidences" all the "spin" when someone who opposes the international banking cartel gets killed or gets jail time. If Blogovich was the only person yea I would see your point but there is to many people that end up dead after opposition to the "system"

MYbig it is not the bank thing, Blago has been under investigation and connected to Rezko, Obama's pal.

I have been watching and following this for quite a while

I'm sure this turn of events will come as no surprise to Eliot Spitzer. Everyone who takes on the financial industry ends up as road kill.

Edit to add - Oops! Always read the entire thread before posting... Someone will surely have already said it if you don't. Sorry Karl!

No I understand Storm trust me I do. Why now though? Why arrest him the day after he announces Illinois will cease doing business with B of A? That is my point. Everyone who has been picked off or jailed has had "investigations" on them or some sort of "past" that causes these things to happen. This happens to be corruption charges. That is my point.
