The Other Shoe Drops On Blago's Face

So, he lost his job as Governor of Illinois because of all the corrupt, icky things he did. The funny thing is the case against Blago for facing criminal charges is still out there, and like an anvil in a Road Runner cartoon, the corruption case against him is about to crush him flat.

The U.S. Attorney’s office said this morning it plans to make an announcement about a “significant criminal matter’’ later today, which sources said is the indictment of ex-governor Rod Blagojevich. The indictment will likely be handed down within the next several hours.

Blagojevich and his then chief of staff John Harris were arrested Dec. 9 on corruption charges. Blagojevich was accused in a criminal complaint of trying to sell President Obama’s open Senate seat. He was also accused of trying to shakedown firms seeking state business for campaign cash before a Jan. 1 law went into effect banning the practice. Charges also included an alleged plot to have Chicago Tribune editorial board members fired in exchange for helping Tribune Co. structure a state-backed deal to sell Wrigley Field.

This should be fun. Wonder how many people he'll take down with him, Chicago style.

[UPDATE] Sixteen additional felony charges leveled against Blago.
