I think yes. But the interesting part will happen after Blago goes to prison. He will either get pardoned or found dead. Mark my words.

I think it's going to get ugly and he's going to Jail and then he's going to pull down some people with him.

They suicide him before he talks. And yes the feds have something in the high 90s conviction rate. Fitzgerald is well known for his record.

it's going to be interesting. If they do suicide him I just get this feeling he has something setup for a after party surprise.

He has 24 counts against him, so I have a tough time believing he will be acquitted of all 24 counts. They will at least get him for conspiring to take a bribe.
