Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar, noting the trial has moved at an extraordinary pace, just told Judge James Zagel they could rest their case the week after next.

How does this compare to Governor George Ryan? Didn't that trial take six months?
A criminal conspiracy allegedly started before Blagojevich even took office for his first term... and this is it? There's a lot of unexplained conspiracy in the six preceding years Fitz overlooking for puzzeling reasons.

Daniel Frawley also has his resume on Linkedin...Really, what's going on?
Hey Natasha, can you get in to see Tony Rezko and do an interview? How about his lawyer? THere are a lot of unanswered questions that only he can answer.
Something that might interest you, Dan Frawley has 2 facebook pages and is still claiming that he is President of Companion Security and is friends with Aiham Alsammarae...ANYone who can Google can determine that Companion Security and Daniel Frawley are both frauds, so why is he still making this ridiculous claim?

This is not a trial, it is a negotiation ! Blagojevich can bring down the house of cards but Fitz does not want him to, so it will not help him. This is all about how much time if any Blago will have to do if he keeps his mouth shut.
That wasn't much of a case...
