Prosecutor Limits Blago Impeachment
Rod Blagojevich, who somehow is still governor of Illinois, faces a twin attack of federal prosecution and impeachment proceedings. Now the US attorney behind Blago's indictment, Patrick "Merry Fitzmas" Fitzgerald, is telling the Illinois legislature not to use documents and witnesses that are part of the legal case against the governor, as it would "significantly compromise the ongoing criminal investigation." The Illinois House still has plenty to work with, however—Fitzgerald said a separate hiring fraud scandal that Blago is under investigation for is fair game for legislators.
