Rod Blagojevich.

“They are pressuring me to tell them the ‘wrong’ things that I supposedly know about Gov. Blagojevich and Sen. Obama,” Rezko wrote in an undated letter released by the court this week. “I have never been party to any wrongdoing that involved the governor or the senator. I will never fabricate lies about anyone else for selfish purposes. I will take what comes my way, but I will never hurt innocent people.”

Not exactly the kind of statement you want a potential witness to make before the Court. Reeeely kind of hurts any later testimony to the contrary. Soooo, I think this is much to do, again, about nothing.

I wonder how much Rezko's wife is getting under the table to have her husband shut up.......

Umm...Didn't Senator Obama already say he wouldn't pardon him?
