Blago Awaits The Indictment Hammer

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Apr 2, 2009 3:20PM

Most think the indictment of former governor Rod Blagojevich will come down today. In fact, probably within hours. Why today, when the deadline is next Tuesday? According to the Sun-Times' Natasha Korecki (who has been the go-to reporter on this), the grand jury only meets on Thursdays and today is the last Thursday before the deadline. Korecki breaks down the ins and outs of what you can expect from the Blago indictment. However, if the hammer comes down today, you likely won't hear anything from Blago himself as he has taken the family on vacation to a Disney resort in Florida.
