Indictment Excerpt: Blago Conspires to Yank State's Support of Chicago Tribune Owned Cubs Unless They "Fire All These People [Criticizing Me and Calling for Impeachment], Get 'em the fuck out off there and get us some editorial support"

All this nationalization of industry. Corporations becoming dependent on government officials for their lifeblood.

What could go wrong?

In this excerpt, Blago plans to block the state's support of the sale of the Cubs unless the Cubs' parent company, the Tribune Company, plays ball.

(Slublog's special Blago-centric flaming skull)

As Instapundit would say, "They told me if George W. Bush were elected, politicians would use muscle to muzzle the free media, and they were right!" Update: Whoops, he did say it. I thought he'd missed the opportunity.

During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife can be heard in the background telling ROD BLAGOJEVICH to tell Deputy Governor A “to hold up that fucking Cubs shit. . . fuck them.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked Deputy Governor A what he thinks of his wife’s idea. Deputy Governor A stated that there is a part of what ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife said that he “agree[s] with.” Deputy Governor A told ROD BLAGOJEVICH that Tribune Owner will say that he does not have anything to do with the editorials, “but I would tell him, look, if you want to get your Cubs thing done get rid of this Tribune.” Later, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife got on the phone and, during the continuing discussion of the critical Tribune editorials, stated that Tribune Owner can “just fire” the writers because Tribune Owner owns the Tribune. ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife stated that if Tribune Owner’s papers were hurting his business, Tribune Owner would do something about the editorial board. ROD BLAGOJEVICH then got back on the phone.

ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Deputy Governor A to put together the articles in the Tribune that are on the topic of removing ROD BLAGOJEVICH from office and they will then have someone, like JOHN HARRIS, go to Tribune Owner and say, “We’ve got some decisions to make now.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that “someone should say, ‘get rid of those people.’” ROD BLAGOJEVICH said that he thinks that they should put this all together and then have HARRIS or somebody go talk to the Tribune owners and say, “Look, we’ve got decisions to make now. . . moving this stuff forward (believed to be a reference to the IFA
helping with the Cubs sale) . . . someone’s gotta go to [Tribune Owner], we want to see him..."


75. During an intercepted call on November 4, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke
with Deputy Governor A. ROD BLAGOJEVICH told Deputy Governor A to think about the “Tribune stuff” and that he is going to talk to HARRIS as well. Deputy Governor A confirmed that he has people doing the “research right now.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH, in discussing taking the issue to Tribune Owner, stated, “then we’ll say, look, we got a problem at IFA. Here it is.”


...

ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that because of the impeachment articles, “we don’t know if we can take a chance and do this IFA deal now. I don’t want to give them grounds to impeach me.” ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that “our recommendation is fire all those fucking people, get ‘em the fuck out of there and get us some editorial support.”

Thanks to Tom.

More: Blago says "tape me, I'm 100% sparkling clean."

Speaking to reporters Monday for the first time since the Tribune revealed federal investigators had recorded him and others as part of their corruption probe, Blagojevich said his discussions were "always lawful." He also defended close confidant John Wyma, whose cooperation with federal agents helped lead to the recordings, as "an honest person who's conducted himself in an honest way."

"I should say if anybody wants to tape my conversations, go right ahead, feel free to do it," he said. "I appreciate anybody who wants to tape me openly and notoriously, and those who feel like they want to sneakily, and wear taping devices, I would remind them that it kind of smells like Nixon and Watergate."

Unlike the recordings that the federal government has of Blagojevich, the tapes that led to President Richard Nixon's 1974 resignation over the burglary of Democratic offices at the Watergate complex and the ensuing coverup were made by Nixon himself.

Regardless of "whether you tape me privately or publicly, I can tell you that whatever I say is always lawful and the things I'm interested in are always lawful," Blagojevich said. "And if there are any things out there like that, what you'll hear is a governor who tirelessly and endlessly figures out ways to help average, ordinary working people."

...

Blagojevich has not been charged with any wrongdoing and contended that if federal investigators areƒs "going to those lengths and extents [of obtaining recordings], if in fact that's true, that would suggest all the past has been pretty good."

"I don't believe there's any cloud that hangs over me. I think there's nothing but sunshine hanging over me," the governor said.

"Sunshine" refers to Blago's expected cellmate, a member of the Aryan Brotherhood whose turn-ons include sunsets, confidence, and laundry-room forcible sodomy.

One Man's Crime: As Slublog ably pointed out, CNN is already playing Name that Party! with Blagojevich -- a marked contrast with the coverage of (to name one) Ted Stevens, whose partisan affiliation was relentlessly, mercilessly repeated each time he was mentioned.

I must repeat myself: The media's template is that Republican wrong-doers are emblematic of basic, fundamental corruption in the Republican Party, and hence their crimes can and should be associated with the party as a whole. The entire GOP is an unindicted co-conspirator whenever a Republican breaks the law.

However, when a Democrat breaks the law, it is because he has deviated from the True Path of Righteousness that is modern liberalism, and hence his partisan affiliation is entirely unimportant, and in fact should be actively suppressed.

When a Republican breaks the law, the entire party is culpable. When a Democrat breaks the law, it's one man's crime, and only that one man's crime, and suddenly all mentions of party affiliation are absent.

This is going to be a more difficult trick than usual here, given how extensive and systematic and Democrat-controlled Illinois corruption is, but I trust the media will give their all to The Cause.

It's positively Stalinesque. No, I mean Stalinesque in this way: Stalin's crimes were not part of True Socialism, but a terrible deviation from True Socialism. You can't blame True Socialism for what Stalin did.

The MSM cannot save particular men -- but they can always nurture and protect The Cause from the failures and embarrassments of its all-too-human servants.

30 Quinn is a pretty clean guy.  He's a Democratic retread though.  The party always shoots down any attempts he makes to secure a higher office.  He only became Lt. Governor through the support of Blagojevich.  He's really "too nice" for Democratic Machine politics.

Dovetailing him with David Paterson is 100% accurate.  They're a couple of 'Robins'.

Patricia Blagojevich sounds awesome though.  I wonder if she'll show me some of her real estate listings.  I'm suddenly interested.

Re-reading the tape transcript, Blago could've easily gotten away with much of it had he not been so explicit (and stupid) in his extortion.

Instead of outright threatening to hold up the Cubs deal unless the critical editorial writers were fired, he needed only have a deputy call and express extreme displeasure with the editorial staff, then call an hour later and suggest he was having second thoughts on the Cubs deal.  They'd have gotten the message without the extortion being so blatant.

Hell, even if he called, mentioned the editorials, then said "but that's not really why I'm calling; what I'd like to discuss is the Cubs deal...".

Same with the cushy job in exchange for the Senate appointment.  It's not like a politician doesn't regognize a veiled quid pro quo when he hears one.

39 Has there been a decent politician from Illinois since Abe Lincoln?

Governor Jim Edgar wasn't bad.  Senator Everett Dirkson was probably the best we could produce since Lincoln.

A special election favors the Democrats in a big way.  It's really a special election now and then you have to run again in 2010 to defend the seat.  So it is expensive for both parties, but that heavily favors the Democratic party right now.  The Obamatrons are still wandering around with very little to do.

It's how politicians operate. The smart ones* never talk to each other about anything important.  They let their lackeys do all the shady stuff while the head honcho remains plausibly ignorant. (my people will talk to your people) That way it can be simultaneously true that Obama's had "talks with" and "no contact with" the governor.

Second, Mike Ditka turned down the opportunity to run and we got Obama, so maybe he'll reconsider.  I fear we'll just get another run from Jim Oberweis, who's spot on on immigration (and makes damn good ice cream), but who's demonstrated thoroughly that he can't win anything.

What's really alarming is that your plausible analysis was, well, plausible. The fact that Blog-man and his wife could be so cavalier and open about their desires only means that it's SOP in their domains. They didn't even feel the need to be careful. And yet this center cesspool of politics has provided us with a President-elect who knows and has worked with numerous "questionable" (and I use the term loosely) actors from the deep end.

Our democracy is becoming a joke. Sure, we don't want to indict the whole for the transgressions of a few, but it's just not a few anymore. The amount of corruption that's being routinely exposed and the ways in which government, business, and media remain intertwined and are becoming moreso is frightening.

76 "During the call, ROD BLAGOJEVICH’s wife can be heard in the background telling ROD BLAGOJEVICH to tell Deputy Governor A “to hold up that fucking Cubs shit. . . fuck them."

My, what a classy, shake-down sorta twat.  Eh - Dick Mell's kid, so I guess she learned that behavior from the old man.

Obamastan residents ought to get the pitchforks, and light the torches.

77 How do you know the deal wasn't made? If they've got tape of someone from the Obama team (like Obama himself) saying something to the effect of "Sure, I'll make you Ambassador to Switzerland so I can name my successor" why wait any longer? You've got the target of the investigation, plus the damn president-elect. You might as well chop off your balls because not even sex is going to be better than that.

Now, I don't think that's actually happened, but I do think Obama's misplaying this one. Saying there's no contact between Obama's team and the guy who'll pick his replacement is absurd. Really, the entire time you were running for president you never gave any consideration as to who would fill your job if you actually won? It's an amateurish reflexive distancing of himself from scandal. If anyone on his team is on tape with Blago he's boned no matter what he says, but this just insults our intelligence.

I don't see that happening unless they detect a Republican in their midst.

Look, if Obama gets in trouble we won't necessarily have President Biden.  If Obama gets indicted before the Electoral College meets (on Dec. 15), then what will happen is that each state legislature will meet to direct their electors to choose someone else.  Hillary anyone?  If it's after Dec. 15 and the electors have already chosen Obama, then it goes to the House of Representatives whose job it is to certify the results.  They can choose not to do so and pick someone else.  (Hillary anyone?) 

Which suggests an interesting hypothesis: Could it have been HILLARY who blew the whistle on this whole thing?

In Roman times, when a fellow tried to bribe a public official, they would cut off his nose, sew him in a bag with a wild animal, and throw that bag in the river.

The H4 replica watches took replica watches Harrison a massive 13 years to replica watches construct-but this was only the end of a lifetime's work. His genius was clear from the very beginning. Unfortunately many astronomers such as Nevil Maskelyne were convinced that a mechanical solution replica watches would not work and that only astronomy could solve the replica watches longitude problem. The fact that Harrison was from a working class family and had little replica watches formal education probably didn't help his prospects.Solving the longitude problem through horology meant designing a timepiece that could work accurately at sea. When you watch consider the rolling waves, changes in replica watches temperature and generally adverse replica watches conditions the dificulty of this task becomes apparent.The H1 was completed in 1735 and proved replica successful at sea. However the Board of Longitude demanded a full a transatlantic wholesale watch voyage. They gave Harrison a grant of 500 pounds with which he began work on the H2 watches.
