Former governor Rod Blagojevich, brother Rob, fundraiser Christopher Kelly, lobbyist Lon Monk, former Blago Chief-of-Staff John Harris, and William Cellini have all been indicted on corruption charges this afternoon. Blago's attorney, Sheldon Sorosky, told the Sun-Times, "We’re saddened but not surprised at the indictment. Rod Blagojevich strongly asserts that he is innocent and we would ask the people of Illinois to wait and listen to all the facts of the case before they make their decision.” [CBN, S-T]

These are RICO charges. RICO cases are prosecuted at something like a 98-99% rate. So Blago is as good as convicted.
As a member of the people, I say HERE HERE. Now, when is Daley due for his conviction?
Given Kelly's involvement in the O'Hare shenanigans...maybe closer than we think?
As soon as Sanchez flips, one can hope.
