Chicagoist woke up to the headline "Feds subpoena governor's campaign fund records" in the Tribune. Oh no, we thought, this can't be good for ol' G-Rod. For a governor that has seen friends indicted, had a public feud with his father in-law that has resulted in charges of gross misconduct and confirmation by prosecutors that they are looking close and hard at very real accusations of wrong doing, this news certainly can't bode well.
At the heart of the subpoenas is the question of whether or not top aides and advisors traded state business and jobs for political support, part of an investigation US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has been conducting for over a year now. While Blagojevich has not been directly accused of any wrongdoing, he has refused to answer questions regarding the ongoing investigation, often deflecting the constant questions that seem follow him around with a blanket "we do things right."

I thought Ryan won the most investigations for Governor.....or Dan Walker another Ex.
Who knows. G-Rod might outbeat Ryan in corruption. But, Fitzgerald still has the Governor under radar.
Illinois is used to Governors being on the wrong side of the law
Governor Dan Walker spent time in the big house
G-Rod is really spelled Baloneybitch.
"G-Rod is really spelled Baloneybitch."
