Blagojevich Defense Team Moves To Subpoena Obama

CBS

 Will Obama be forced to testify under oath?

The defense team for deposed Gov. Rod Blagojevich has moved to subpoena President Barack Obama to testify at Blagojevich’s corruption trial.

Blagojevich has pleaded not guilty to charges that accuse him of scheming to sell or trade the Senate seat left vacant by Obama’s election as president.

The motion filed Thursday says Obama was interviewed for two hours by prosecutors and FBI agents regarding the Blagojevich case,and the defense filed a motion asking for all transcripts,notes and reports from that interview. But the defense never received the documents,the motion said.

The motion also claims that prosecutors say Blagojevich met a labor union official whom he believed to be in contact with President Obama,and told the official he would appoint a certain candidate to the vacant Senate seat. In exchange,Blagojevich expected to be named secretary of Health and Human Services,the motion says prosecutors claim.

    Obama under oath.. that means putting his hand on the Bible…

    and that would mean blasphemy.. once again from this
    charlatan..

    In fact,I expect the Bible to begin burning up beneath his
    demonized hand.

    How I dislike this person.. he makes my skin crawl
    every time I look at him. But then,what can you
    expect when you are looking at Satan incarnate.

    I am so amazed to see the people in office that we have,of course start with Obama,but did you see Blagojevich on Celebrity Apprentice? and then there's Barney Frank….what? Either they are just old or stupid. How did they get elected? What ever happened to men who had integrity,honor,loyalty? Can't say much for the women either,look at Clinton and Pelosi,now that's scary too

  • Elizabeth

    Good question with no answers unless you are an insider
    at the White House or in with the corrupt politicians.
    They might tell you how Barney Frank not only was
    elected but manages to maintain his office

    and as for Pelosi and Clinton,those two are
    power-hungry and ruthless without any insight
    nor compassion for the rest of the middle-class
    Americans.. Pelosi is like a madwoman driving
    an armored tank,running down anyone or any
    concept which gets in her way. She must be
    a descendant of Cleopatra.

    Just as Obama was voted in by ignorant
    people,some of whom are STILL ignorant
    and hanging onto their muddied beliefs,

    so were these others voted in without
    any in -depth research by the hasty voters,
    the ones who wanted to prove that
    Obama being black indicates that we
    are past the stigma of the Civil War and
    slavery,etc. Now the chickens have come
    home to roost and the rest of us are paying
    for their altruistic actions.

  • Obama has already been caught in a big fat LIE,according to the unredacted documents I found on Google:

    Thursday,April 22,2010
    Obama Caught Lying:Talked to Blago on December 1,2008
    Right after Blago was arrested,Obama claimed he never talked to Blago about the Senate seat. After all,Obama claims he's had little contact with Blago. NBC Chicago catches Obama in a whopping lie. Some redacted portions of an Obama subpoena request have been unearthed:

    Obama had a secret phone call with Blagojevich
    Redacted portion:President-elect Obama also spoke to Governor Blagojevich on December 1,2008 in Philadelphia. On Harris Cell Phone Call # 139,John Harris and Governor’s legal counsel discuss a conversation Blagojevich had with President-elect Obama. The government claims a conspiracy existed from October 22,2008 continuing through December 9,2008.6 That conversation is relevant to the defense of the government’s theory of an ongoing conspiracy. Only Rod Blagojevich and President Obama can testify to the contents of that conversation. The defense is allowed to present evidence that corroborates the defendant’s testimony.

    As veteran Chicago reporter Steve Rhodes says:

    If Obama says he loves you,check it out.
