Blago Now Has A Price On His Head For Sure


Chicago, IL—An analysis of the latest filing by the defense attorneys representing former Governor Rod Blagojevich reveals there exists evidence of direct and sinister conduct by President Barack Obama.

The Ward Room has uncovered damning information in the filing that should cause the appointment of a Special Prosecutor to look into the role Obama played in selling his old senate seat.

Rod Blagojevich is in real and mortal danger of being liquidated to silence him and prevent his testimony.

Oooops! Read the motion that saw sunlight!
IN THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT
FOR THE NORTHERN DISTRICT OF ILLINOIS
EASTERN DIVISION
UNITED STATES OF AMERICA )
)
v. ) 08CR888
)
) Judge James B. Zagel
ROD BLAGOJEVICH )
MOTION FOR THE COURT TO ISSUE A TRIAL SUBPOENA TO
PRESIDENT BARACK OBAMA
Now Comes Defendant Rod Blagojevich, by and through his counsels and hereby
requests this court issue a subpoena ad testificandum for President Barack Obama. In support of
said motion, defendant states the following:1
1. President Barack Obama was elected November 4, 2008 and was inaugurated January
20, 2009. Before being elected President, Mr. Obama was a United States Senator
from Illinois.
2. As a result of the election of Mr. Obama, his Senate seat was open for appointment by
Governor Rod Blagojevich.
3. The charges against Mr. Blagojevich stem from his appointment of President-elect
Obama’s vacated Senate seat.
4. According to media reports, President Obama was interviewed by two United States
attorneys and two FBI agents for two hours.2
1 Although it is the defense’s position that all tapes and sealed information be made public, to comply with the
Protective Order of April 14, 2009, portions that contain sealed information provided by the government have been
redacted. The defense, however, urges this Court unseal the entire motion. See, this court’s order dated April 14,
2010 (document 305) “Redaction, in cases where the redacted words are relevant to the case and considered in
reaching a decision, is still permitted but discouraged.” See In re Krynicki, 983 F.2d 74, 75 (7th Cir. 1992)
(“Information that is used at trial or otherwise become the basis of decision enters the public record.”) (citation
omitted). The case for redaction has to be proven not presumed. ... But it is clear that the remedy to the objection
that a portion of a statement may be misleading to the public (and the jury pool) is not redaction but disclosure of the
omitted portion. Disclosure of written material a month and a half before the beginning of trial does not come close
to presenting a significant threat that a fair jury cannot be found. The experience of the courts in cases which attract
significant news coverage has shown that pretrial news reporting is an overstated menace to fair jury trials.”

Telegraph, December 26, 2008.

5. On December 19, 2009, the defense filed a Motion for Discovery. In that motion, the
defense requested all notes, transcripts, and reports generated from the government’s
interview of President Barack Obama.
6. As of today’s date, the defense has not received any notes, transcripts, or reports from
President Obama’s interview with the government.
7. The government alleges that Defendant Rod Blagojevich met “with a labor union
official who he believed to be in contact with the President-elect in regard to the
vacant Senate seat, and suggested to the labor union official that Rod Blagojevich
would appoint Senate Candidate B to the vacant Senate seat in exchange for Rod
Blagojevich being named Secretary of Health and Human Services.” (Indictment p.
101, para. 10(c)).
8. President Obama has stated publicly that he was “confident that no representatives of
mine would have any part of any deals3 related to this seat.”4
9. Yet, despite President Obama stating that no representatives of his had any part of
any deals, labor union president told the FBI and the United States Attorneys that he
spoke to labor union official on November 3, 2008 who received a phone message
from Obama that evening. After labor union official listened to the message
labor union official told labor union president “I’m the one”. Labor union
president took that to mean that labor union official was to be the one to deliver
the message on behalf of Obama that Senate Candidate B was his pick. (Labor
union president 302, February 2, 2009, p. 7).
10. Labor union official told the FBI and the United States Attorneys “Obama expressed
his belief that [Senate Candidate B] would be a good Senator for the people of
Illinois and would be a candidate who could win re-election. [Labor union
official] advised Obama that [labor union official] would reach out to Governor
Blagojevich and advocate for [Senate Candidate B].. . . [Labor union official]
called [labor union president] and told [labor union president] that Obama was
aware that [labor union official] would be reaching out to Blagojevich.” (Labor
union official 302, February 3, 2009 p. 3).
3 Deal is defined as a “transaction; bargain; contract; an arrangement for mutual advantage.” Merriam-Webster
Online Dictionary. A deal requires two willing participants.

11. According to Senate Candidate B, on November, 4 2008, Senate Candidate B
spoke with labor union official about the Senate seat. Labor union official said
he spoke to Obama. Labor union official said he was going to meet with
Blagojevich and said “he was going to push Blagojevich hard on this. According
to Senate Candidate B, labor union official’s language could have been stronger
than the language that she was reporting to the government.” (Senate Candidate
B 302, December 19, 2008).
12. On November 5, 2008, Blagojevich told John Harris that labor union official “talked
to Barack Obama, wants to come and see me.” Blagojevich then told Harris that
labor union official “was very explicit with me, “I talked to Barack about the
Senate seat. Can I come and see ya? Can I do it tomorrow?’ I said, sure.”
(Blagojevich Home Phone Call # 261).
13. A supporter of Presidential Candidate Obama suggested that she talk to the wife of
Governor Blagojevich about Senate Candidate B for Senator. (Valerie Jarrett
302, December 19, 2008). Supporter of Presidential Candidate Obama is
mentioned in a phone call on November 3, 2008, having offered “fundraising” in
exchange for Senate Candidate B for senator (Blagojevich Home Phone Call #
149).
14. President Obama has direct knowledge to allegations made in the indictment. In
addition, President Obama’s public statements contradict other witness statements,
specifically those made by labor union official and Senate Candidate B. It is
anticipated that labor union official will be a witness for the government. His
accounts of events directly related to the charges in the indictment are contradicted by
President Obama’s public statement.
15. Even the prosecutor in this case indicated “there’s no allegation that the presidentelect
– there’s no reference in the complaint to any conversations involving presidentelect
or indicating that the president-elect was aware of it.”5
16. There are two conflicting stories and the defense has the right to admit evidence that
contradicts the government’s claims. Only President Obama can do this.
17. 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.7
18. President-elect Obama also suggested Senate Candidate A to Governor Blagojevich.
John Harris told the FBI and the United States Attorneys that he spoke to
President’s Chief of Staff on November 12, 2008. Harris took notes of the
conversation and wrote that President’s Chief had previously worked as
Blagojevich's press secretary. Obama agreed of Staff told Harris that Senate
Candidate A was acceptable to Obama as a senate pick. (Harris handwritten
notes, OOG1004463) President’s Chief of Staff told the FBI that “he could not
say where but somewhere it was communicated to him that” Senate Candidate A
was a suggested candidate viewed as one of the four “right” candidates “by the
Obama transition team.” (Rahm Emanuel 302, p. 5, December 20, 2008). Harris
told Blagojevich Obama’s suggestion on November 12, 2008 (Blagojevich Home
Phone Call # 539).
19. President-elect Obama was also involved in other senate candidate choices. On
December 8, 2008, John Harris’ secretary’s call log noted President’s Chief of
Staff called at 10:47 am and wrote “needs to talk to you asap” (Harris 302,
February 20, 2009). President’s Chief of Staff told the FBI that he had a
conversation discussing the Senate seat with Obama on December 7, 2008 in
Obama’s car. President’s Chief of Staff told the FBI “Obama expressed concern
about Senate Candidate D being appointed as Senator. [President’s Chief of
Staff] suggested they might need an expanded list to possibly include names of
African Americans that came out of the business world. [President’s Chief of
Staff] thought he suggested Senate Candidate E who was the head of the Urban

Return for his Appointment of a United States Senator.” The paragraph states: “Beginning in or about October
2008, and continuing until on or about December 9, 2008 . . .”
7 See, Wisconsin ex rel. Monsoor v. Gagnan, 497 F.2d 1126 (7th Cir. 1974) (holding that the state trial court
committed reversible error and violated the defendant’s Sixth Amendment right to a fair trial and compulsory
process by striking the testimony of the only corroborating witness to a phone call that related directly to the
defendant’s defense), citing Braswell v.Wainwright, 463 F.2d 1148, 1155-56 (5th Cir. 1972) (holding that “Closely
related to [the defendant’s] Sixth Amendment right is his right to a fair trial - - to due process. [The defendant] had a
right to at least present the testimony of his sole corroborating witness to the jury. That the jury might still have
returned a guilty verdict is beside the point; judgment of the credibility of witnesses is for the trier of fact.”)

League and with President’s Chief of Staff’s suggestion." (President’s Chief of
Staff, 302, 12-20-08).
20. President Barack Obama has direct knowledge of the Senate seat allegation.
President Obama’s testimony is relevant to three fundamental issues of that
allegation. First, President Obama contradicts the testimony of an important
government witness. Second, President Obama’s testimony is relevant to the
necessary element of intent of the defendant. Third, President Obama is the only one
who can say if emissaries were sent on his behalf, who those emissaries were, and
what, if anything, those emissaries were instructed to do on his behalf. All of these
issues are relevant and necessary for the defense of Rod Blagojevich.
21. Tony Rezko is one of the government’s main witnesses.8 Mr. Rezko’s credibility is
extremely relevant in this trial. In many instances, Mr. Rezko is the government’s
crucial witness to prove up their allegations.9 Mr. Rezko wrote a letter to a federal
judge stating “the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never
happened. They are pressuring me to tell them the “wrong” things that I supposedly
know about Governor Blagojevich and Senator Obama. I have never been a party to
any wrongdoing that involved the Governor or the Senator. I will never fabricate lies
about anyone else for selfish purposes.” (Exhibit A)
22. However, the defense has a good faith belief that Mr. Rezko, President Obama’s
former friend, fund-raiser, and neighbor told the FBI and the United States Attorneys
a different story about President Obama. In a recent in camera proceeding, the
government tendered a three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated
in interviews with the government that he engaged in election law violations by
personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public official
who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official denies being aware of
cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or others and denies having
conversations with Rezko related to cash contributions. … Rezko has also stated
in interviews with the government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo
offer from a lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a
fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action, but that the
8 The defense has requested that the government provide a witness list. To date, the government has not provided a
list of witnesses.
9 See, Counts 1, 2, and 3 of the Indictment. The Pension Obligation Bond Deal ( p. 9 (para. 7), p. 48 (para. 6)); The
Solicitation of Ali Ata (p. 9 (para. 9)), Benefits Given to Rod Blagojevich (Rezko directed or provided payments to
Rod Blagojevich’s wife) (p. 53 (para. 9 (a.), (b.), (c.))), Blagojevich used the power of the Office of the Governor to
give Rezko substantial influence over appointments to boards and commissions (p. 8 (para. 5)) (p. 13 (para. 18)) (p.
42 (para. 4-5)) (p. 47 (para. 4)) (p. 53 (para. 17)).
Case 1:08-cr-00888 Document 327 Filed 04/22/10 Page 5 of 11

public official rejected the offer. The public official denies any such
conversation. In addition, Rezko has stated to the government that he and the
public official had certain conversations about gaming legislation and
administration, which the public official denies having had.”10
23. President Obama is the only one who can testify as to the veracity of Mr. Rezko’s
allegations above.
24. President Obama has pertinent information as to the character of Mr. Rezko.
President Obama can testify to Mr. Rezko’s reputation for truthfulness as well as his
own opinion of Mr. Rezko’s character. See, Fed. R. Evid. 405(a) and 608. Mr.
Rezko and President Obama became friends in 1990. According to President Obama,
Mr. Rezko raised as much as $60,000 in campaign contributions for Obama.11
25. Based on the relationship that President Obama and Mr. Rezko had, President Obama
can provide important information as to Mr. Rezko’s plan, intent, opportunity, habit
and modus operandi. See, Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) and 406. For example, in June 2005,
President Obama purchased a house for $1.65 million, $300,000 below the asking
price. On the same day Tony Rezko’s wife, Rita, paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the
adjoining land. In January 2006, Obama paid Mr. Rezko $104,500 for a strip of the
adjoining land. The transaction took place when it was widely known that Mr. Rezko
was under investigation.12 President Obama’s relationship with Tony Rezko is
relevant and necessary Fed. R. Evid. 404(b) and 406 evidence.
26. Regarding a Presidential subpoena, the Supreme Court has held that:
“The right to the production of all evidence at a criminal trial . . . has
constitutional dimensions. The Sixth Amendment explicitly confers upon
10 The defense has a good faith belief that this public official is Barack Obama. See, “Obama on Rezko deal: It
was a mistake”, Dave McKinney, Chris Fusco, and Mark Brown, Chicago Sun Times, November 5, 2006. Senator
Barack Obama was asked: “Did Rezko or his companies ever solicit your support on any matter involving state or
federal government? Did Al Johnson, who was trying to get a casino license along with Tony Rezko, or Rezko
himself ever discuss casino matters with you?” Senator Obama answered: “No, I have never been asked to do
anything to advance his business interest. In 1999, when I was a State Senator, I opposed legislation to bring a
casino to Rosemont and allow casino gambling at docked riverboats which news reports said Al Johnson and Tony
Rezko were interested in being part of. I never discussed a casino license with either of them. I was a vocal
opponent of the legislation.” Obama’s involvement with Tony Rezko and this legislation coincides with the
three paragraph summary the government has provided to the defense referenced above.

every defendant in a criminal trial the right ‘to be confronted with the
witnesses against him’ and ‘to have compulsory process for obtaining
witnesses in his favor.’ Moreover, the Fifth Amendment also guarantees that
no person shall be deprived of liberty without due process of law. It is the
manifest duty of the courts to vindicate those guarantees, and to accomplish
that it is essential that all relevant and admissible evidence be produced.”
United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683, 711 (1974).
27. Although it is not commonplace to subpoena a sitting President, the Supreme Court
has noted that sitting Presidents have been subpoenaed by federal courts with
“sufficient frequency that such interactions between the Judicial and Executive
branches can scarcely be thought a novelty.” Clinton v. Jones, 520 US 681, 704, 137
L.Ed. 2d 945, 967 (1997).
28. Indeed, history is replete with cases in which Presidents have been subpoenaed or
have provided evidence in federal cases.13
29. In addition to criminal trials, Theodore Roosevelt, Harry Truman and John F.
Kennedy were defendants in civil cases involving actions prior to taking office.
Clinton v. Jones, 520 US at 692, citing People ex rel. Hurley v. Roosevelt, 179 N.Y.
544, 71 N.E. 1137 (1904); DeVault v. Truman, 354 Mo. 1193, 194 S.W.2d 29 (1946);
Bailey v. Kennedy, No. 757,200 (Cal. Super. Ct. 1960); Hills v. Kennedy, No. 757,201
(Cal. Super. Ct. 1960). President Nixon was deposed in several civil actions and
13 See, United States v. Burr, 25 F. Cas. 30 (No. 14,692d) (CC Va. 1807) (President Thomas Jefferson ordered to
comply with a subpoena duces tecum in the trial of Aaron Burr); Rotunda, Presidents and Ex-Presidents as
Witnesses: A Brief Historical Footnote, 1975 U. Ill. L. F. 1, 5-6 (referencing President Monroe’s answers to
interrogatories in the trial of an appointee, whose meetings with the President were cited as contributing factors to
accusations he received his job appointment under “intrigue and misconduct” and also references a lengthy
deposition given by President Grant in a criminal case); United States v. Nixon, 418 US 683, 41 L.Ed. 2d 1039
(1974) (The Supreme Court held that President Nixon was obligated to comply with a subpoena duces tecum in a
criminal trial); United States v. Poindexter, 732 F. Supp. 142, 145, citing to United States v. Mitchell, 385 F.Supp
1190 (D.D.C. 1974) and United States v. Haldeman, 559 F.Supp.2d 31, 80-81 (D.C. Cir. 1976) (where President
Nixon was subpoenaed by the Government and defendants in criminal trials of his appointees resulting from the
Watergate scandal); United States v. Fromme, 405 F.Supp. 578 (ED Cal. 1975) (where President Ford was
subpoenaed and deposed as a defense witness in the criminal trial of the woman accused of attempting to assassinate
him); United States v. Poindexter, 732 F.Supp. at 145 (D.D.C. 1990) (referring to President Carter’s videotaped
deposition in a criminal trial and a separate grand jury investigation); Id., at 144-46, 159-60 (where President
Reagan was ordered to testify via videotaped deposition in the criminal trial resulting from the Iran-Contra affair);
and Clinton v. Jones, 520 US at 705, citing United States v. McDougal, 934 F. Supp. 296 (ED Ark. 1996) and
United States v. Branscum, No. LRP-CR-96-49 (ED Ark., June 7, 1996) (referencing President Clinton’s compelled
testimony via videotaped deposition in two criminal proceedings, including as an impeachment witness for the
defense in the McDougal case).
Case 1:08-cr-00888 Document 327 Filed 04/22/10 Page 7 of 11
8
Presidents Lincoln, T. Roosevelt, Tyler and Adams were compelled to appear before
congressional committees. United States v. Poindexter, 732 F. Supp at 145.
30. It is well settled that the Federal Courts have subpoena power over a sitting
President. Chief Justice Marshall’s early opinion from the Burr case has
been “unequivocally and emphatically endorsed” by the Supreme Court and
other federal courts. See, United States v. Nixon, 418 US at 706; Clinton v.
Jones, 520 US at 704.
“Whatever difference may exist with respect to the power to compel the
same obedience to the process, as if it had been directed to a private
citizen, there exists no difference with respect to the right to obtain it. ...
The guard, furnished to this high officer, to protect him from being
harassed by vexatious and unnecessary subpoenas, is to be looked for in
the conduct of a court after those subpoenas have issued; not in any
circumstance which is to precede their being issued.” United States v.
Fromme, 405 F. Supp. At 582, citing United States v. Burr, at p.30.
31. The Supreme Court has consistently ruled that “the twofold aim [of criminal justice]
is that guilt shall not escape or innocence suffer.” United States v. Nixon, supra, citing
Berger v. United States, 295 US 78, 88 (1935). The Court continued, in Nixon, that
“the need to develop all relevant facts in the adversary system is both fundamental
and comprehensive. The ends of criminal justice would be defeated if judgments were
to be founded on a partial or speculative presentation of the facts. . . To ensure that
justice is done, it is imperative to the function of courts that compulsory process be
available for the production of evidence needed either by the prosecution or by the
defense.” United States v. Nixon, 418 US at 709. In sum,
[Federal precedent holds that] no person, even a President, is above the
law and that in appropriate judicial proceedings, documents and other
tangible evidence within the very office of the President may be obtained
for use in those judicial proceedings. Similarly, where the President
himself is a percipient witness to an alleged criminal act, the President
must be amenable to subpoena as any other person would be. United
States v. Fromme,405 F.Supp. at 582 (emphasis added).
32. Here, President Obama is a critical witness. All of President Obama’s testimony
would entail evidence he witnessed before he became president and does not involve
Executive Privilege. As the District Court ruled in Fromme:
Case 1:08-cr-00888 Document 327 Filed 04/22/10 Page 8 of 11
9
“Notwithstanding the burden which is imposed on the person of the
President if he is called to testify as a witness in a criminal trial, this
court has an even heavier burden to ensure a fair and a speedy trial to
the accused, with total regard for all the rights and protections afforded
an accused under the law of this land.
‘[The] allowance of the [Executive] privilege to withhold evidence that
is demonstrably relevant in a criminal trial would cut deeply into the
guarantee of due process of law and gravely impair the basic function of
the courts.’” United States v. Fromme, 405 F.Supp. at 583 (emphasis
added)(citations omitted), citing United States v. Nixon, 418 US at 712.
33. President Obama has direct and intimate knowledge of facts alleged in the indictment.
Indeed, the President is a percipient witness. United States v. Fromme, 405 F.Supp.
at 581. President Obama is a witness to the conduct alleged as well as an
impeachment witness to at least two of the government’s critical witnesses.14
34. The defense does not take lightly the overwhelming schedule the President has and
the security constraints surrounding his testimony. A videotape deposition will
remedy both of those legitimate concerns. See, Fed. R. Crim. Pro. 15 and see also,
United States v. Fromme, 405 F.Supp. at 582 (videotape deposition “protect[s] the
accused’s rights under the Sixth Amendment of the United States Constitution while
at the same time imposing the least onerous burden on the person and the office of the
President of the United States.”).
35. The defense requests that, if this court grants a videotape deposition in lieu of in-court
testimony, defense counsel be permitted to conduct the examination of President
Obama after the government’s case in chief. See, United States v. McDougal, 103
F.3d 651 (ED Ark. 1996) and 943 F.Supp. 296 (ED Ark. 1996) (videotaped
deposition of President Clinton which took place at the White House, and because
President Clinton was called as a defense witness to impeach David Hale, the Court
ordered that President Clinton not testify until after the in-court testimony of David
Hale.).
36. The defendant has a right to put on a case and challenge the allegations the
government attempts to prove. President Obama is relevant and necessary to the
14 Joseph Aramanda is another government witness that President Obama can testify to as well. Joseph Aramanda’s
son, John Aramanda, received an internship with then-Senator Obama. Joseph Aramanda contributed $11,500 to
Obama since 2000 and John Aramanda was recommended by Tony Rezko. Internship also links Obama, Rezko,
Frank Main, Chicago Sun-Times, December 24, 2006. President Obama will be able to provide relevant information
as to Joseph Aramanda. See, para. 24 and 25, supra.
Case 1:08-cr-00888 Document 327 Filed 04/22/10 Page 9 of 11

defendant’s case. The defense understands that the President of the United States of
America is not a routine witness and would not request his appearance if it did not
think he was critical to the liberty of Rod Blagojevich. Whatever security or
scheduling concerns can be reduced by arranging for the most convenient
presentation of testimony. The President can testify via video conference or can be
deposed outside of court at an evidence deposition. These options would satisfy the
defendant’s fundamental right to a fair trial and security and scheduling concerns.
37. The defense requests this court grant this motion not because Rod Blagojevich was
the Governor of Illinois, but because he is a defendant in a criminal case where his
liberty and freedom are at stake. Likewise, the defense requests this court grant this
motion to issue a subpoena ad testificandum to President Obama, not because he is
the President of the United States, but rather because he is a witness necessary to Rod
Blagojevich’s Constitutional right to a fair trial. Justice requires no more and no less.
“it would be inconceivable -- in a Republic that subscribes neither to the
ancient doctrine of the divine right of kings nor to the more modern
conceit of dictators that they are not accountable to the people whom
they claim to represent or to their courts of law -- to exempt [the
President] from the duty of every citizen to give evidence that will
permit the reaching of a just outcome of this criminal prosecution.
Defendant has shown that the evidence of the . . . President is needed to
protect his right to a fair trial, and he will be given the opportunity to
secure that evidence.” United States v. Poindexter, 732 F. Supp at 159.
WHEREFORE, defendant Rod Blagojevich respectfully requests this Honorable Court
order the government turn over to the defense any and all reports generated during any and all
interviews had with President Barack Obama and issue a subpoena ad testificandum for
President Obama to appear at the trial of United States v. Rod Blagojevich.

Chicago, IL-The Regular Democratic Party Organization here is nothing more than a criminal Mob enterprise operated by the Daley-Burke Crime Families. They exist through racketeering, bribery, extortion, theft of public funds and a code of silence.

Former Governor Rod Blagojevich got sideways with his former friends and that gave the U.S. Attorney here, Patrick J. Fitzgerald rare job security through a changing Presidential administration. Fitzgerald has enough knowledge to destroy Barack Obama and is holding a trump card as J. Edgar Hoover did over everyone during his dynasty at the FBI. Wire-taping was the tool for both men.

When Blagojevich was arrested his former pals that endorsed him for the state’s highest office quickly labeled him as mentally ill and a liar before he said a word in his own defense. Blagojevich was part of the crime cabal, wheeling and dealing no differently than anyone else in that cesspool.

Now Blagojevich’s lawyers are seeking to subpoena Barack Obama. That’s not a dumb move since Blagojevich has the goods on our Socialist leader. Obama has the both the need and ability to force the case against Blagojevich to quietly end.

As for the wire-taped conversations Fitzgerald has, they are being kept secret. They can only be one reason for that and it’s called a cover-up. That’s what has been Fitzgerald’s trump card he hopes will perhaps even land him a seat on the U.S. Supreme Court.

I can’t predict just what will happen other than to say Fitzgerald will do anything and everything to protect Obama. Blagojevich should simply come clean and go public with everything he knows about the former members of that Chicago criminal enterprise that included Barack Obama. The conspiracy and cover-up needs to end. Obama needs to be exposed, removed from the Whitehouse, tried and put in prison with all of his fellow mobsters.

The Socialist Liar Has Spoken, New Taxes For All


Washington, DC—Despite claims by Barack Obama that no American earning less than $250.000 per year will see their tax increased by a single dime we are all in for his new extortion program, a Value Added Tax.

How dare anyone call Obama a Marxist or Socialist! He just admires, hangs around with and takes advice from them at every opportunity. I guess it’s just a coincidence that each and every move Obama makes is right out of Karl Marx’s Das Kapital or Hitler’s Mein Kamph.

There is little or no evidence that Obama has any respect for the Constitution of The United States. Barack Obama is the single biggest threat to the United States of America and our hard won freedoms in its entire history.

Obama’s supporters are in denial even though this traitor has broken each and every campaign promise he ever made to them.

It’s only a matter of time until this dangerous despot makes war on the Americans that resist his Socialist and un-American dictates. Obama must make his move within the next couple of years because he will never see re-election and he knows it. Whoever loses this conflict will be visited by the hangman.

A Monday evening in Santa Monica


Santa Monica, CA--Last night (Monday), I was attending a one woman play put up by acting coach and consummate actor, Graham Beckel for one of his many talented students. You will remember Beckel playing Sgt. Dick Stensland in LA Confidential or perhaps in nearly 100 other movies and TV shows.

I had parked my car and had about eight minutes to kill so I hit the street with my little Flip video camera. There are all kinds of people doing this on the Santa Monica Third Street Promenade. This was only a little of the talent that can be seen here performing for their supper.

Update: My pal Pablo Lewin is and actor, director, film maker and airline pilot is also a good investigator. He tracked down the amazing blond singer's website. Her song was, Aint Got Nothing On You and her name is Sammie Jay. Her website is here.

Are Americans Are Too Disobedient And Well Armed For Absolute Socialist Power?

Washington, DC—As the Marxists within the Barack Obama administration plan on their new Socialist state they are running into huge problems they never anticipated. These Bolsheviks are working with the same tactics used to control Russia, China and so many other countries. The National Socialists took power in Germany with relative ease. Those plans won’t work here.

In the past the inhabitants of those converted Socialist countries were an obedient lot that viewed resistance against government authority to be morally wrong. Of course we have that element here too but it’s just not the same.

Unlike the countries that submitted to the Socialists, America has a strong history of government dissent. Americans openly defy whatever the government of the day tries to dictate. There is just one additional huge difference and that’s the nearly 300 million firearms in the hands of its citizens.

For over a year Americans have bought up every single round of ammunition available. Then there are those that are capable that manufacture their own ammunition using readily available and inexpensive equipment. These proud Americans are the ones in charge of the Socialist Welcoming Committee.

Logistically, fighting armed Americans is an impossible task. The most heavily armed are spread out over vast areas of land. Getting control of the large cities won’t be a cake walk but they can be beaten into submission.

Thy pacification of the vast land that is the United States by Socialists would require military assets that just don’t exist.

Socialists first try a revolution of ideology, empty promises and words. When that fails the Red Bastards always use guns. That political terrorism always works against the unarmed and helpless but can only fail against armed freedom loving Americans.

One only needs to look at those political maps to see the confined and heavily populated places that contain people that supported the Leftists. Then look at the vast areas of land that contain the people we can count on to resist. Next you have to see just who has the most stable food and water supply and it is not the entitlement addicted Leftist big city dwellers.

The American landscape is loaded with millions well-trained and armed combat veterans that will do whatever necessary for our way of life, mom and apple pie. Local law enforcement officers will never take orders from Socialists that control Washington, DC.

With the likes of the Obama Cabinet and parallel Czar Cabinet that would be waging their revolution have a vast lack of anyone with military skills.

Go ahead Bolsheviks with your grand plans, MAKE MY DAY!

Is Crimefile News Guilty Of Sedition?

Time Magazine’s Joe Klein and New York
Magazine's John Heilemann
would hold a show trial and hang me along along some great company, Glen Beck, Rush Limbaugh and Sarah Palin.

Klein threw down his anti-sedition gauntlet on the MSNBC Leftist Chris Matthew’s Show on Sunday. Heilemann was in full agreement.

Klein offered a definition of sedition which is conduct or language inciting rebellion against the authority of the state. Sedition is of course a serious felony crime.

Klein forgot just one little item and that is the state’s officials get their authority from the United States constitution. If our officials elected or not try to govern outside of this inconvenient document, the Constitution itself legitimizes and legalizes rebellion.

Everyone must remember it’s always the winners of these conflicts that hang the losers and they also get to write the history books. This country was not founded by a bunch of limp wristed cowards that failed to zealously protect freedom and liberty.

There are plenty of well armed, real Americans that would jump at the chance of waging full scale war on any American politicians tampering with the Constitution and freedom.

To Klein and Heilemann, Please add this middle-aged, freedom loving, White man to your sedition list.

It is indeed threats like this from the Bolsheviks that will guarantee another civil war in America. America’s military and police are taking side everyday and only a tiny minority support the Socialists.

Our founders designed this country to operate on a principal that the government fear its citizens rather than the other way around. As they trample the rights of Americans these despots will need much larger armies of bodyguards.


Weis Cowardice Makes the New York Times!


Chicago, IL--At least here the Daley/Burke Crime Family controlled Chicago media has obviously put a blackout on this story. The New York Times has not swept it under the national rug however as they covered this and other problems facing Chicagoans bracing for a very violent summer.

Chicago cops loath their police superintendent and city administration more than ever. It is not a good time to live or work in Chicago. Avoiding all city events such as the Taste of Chicsgo is advisable in this climate.

The NY Times left out some important and highly relevant facts that can be counted on to contribute to violence such as wholesale prisoner releases and the skyrocketing unemployment rate. Of course self-defense has been outlawed in Chicago for three decades of a gun ban so only criminals are armed.

It was Good Friday when Chicago police superintendent Jody Weis fled on camera from an in progress fatal shooting. The killer of Reggie Myers escaped because not enough police made it to the scene quickly enough. The shots could be heard on tape and Weis' now legendary sound bite, “Gotta run!” was made. That, as Weis fled from a CBS2 reporter and any personal danger.

You can read the New York Times article here.

Here is the “Gotta run!” video:

Nazi Group Battles LA Today


Los Angeles, CA—A group will demonstrate and celebrate the April 19th birthday of Adolph Hitler in downtown L.A. under the swastika. They seem to admire Hitler and his National Socialist movement, or do they?

It appears they have no clue just what National Socialism is. They apparently only like the master race aspect of Hitler’s disaster. These Nazi supporters are incoherent about what they really want from government. I guess these folks feel disenfranchised, frustrated and pushed to second class behind illegal aliens, and Blacks that are invited to suck up government entitlements. They do have a legitimate point.

Racial hatred is nearly always a two sided affair. Racial hatred in America is politically correct as long as the targets are heterosexual Caucasians.

If these people want to form a group demanding White rights and end reverse discrimination they would be better advised to create their own icon and flag rather than plagiarize on Adolph Hitler’s failed Third Reich. There can be no question that the Nazis had the snappiest uniforms, symbols and graphics of our time.

Hitler may have killed six million Jews but we must always remember his efforts cost nine million German lives along the way. National Socialism was a really bad idea.

National Socialism was just that a classic form of Marxist inspired Socialism.

Equally intellectually challenged are the whack-jobs that will show up violently confronting the confused Nazis. They are giving the Nazis far too much importance. I imagine we will see some great combat video of two equally stupid groups proving, Darwin’s theory of Evolution. Darwin wins again!

Weis Laments Chicago’s Code of Silence, Demands More Gun Control


Chicago, IL—Chicago’s police superintendent, Jody Weis blames a “code of silence” and a lack of gun laws for the spike in cold blooded murder. Wasn’t the City of Chicago declared a Gun Free Zone three decades ago?

Weis said that even the dying victims of shooting refuse to reveal the names of their killers. He complained that the lack cooperation by the community was the reason the shootings go unsolved. Weis devoted much of the nearly half-hour press conference to complaining that there are not enough gun bans and promised another lobbying effort in Springfield to end what few gun rights citizens have in Illinois.

Is Weis so stupid that he can’t figure out that the community knows that they can’t be protected by an undermanned, underpaid and poorly equipped police department?

Is Weis so stupid that he can’t figure out that law-abiding and forcibly unarmed citizens would be crazy to cooperate with police? Clearly you have a community where people are forbidden to protect themselves and the police are unable to protect them.

Is Weis so stupid that he does not realize that the cops working in the trenches want to see thugs stopped by trained and armed citizens that are willing to protect themselves, their families and businesses?

Is Weis so stupid he does not know that gun bans have never reduced gun crime, but in fact increases it?

Is Weis so stupid that he can’t understand that guns in the hands of the law-abiding save lives?

Weis actually said that without guns people can’t murder. Weis needs to pay a visit to the medical examiner who can explain how thousands have died over the years from fists, feet, rocks, sticks and knives. Of course there is plenty of strangulation, arson, bombing and using motor vehicles as deadly weapons.

This is a case where Chicago’s politicians and bureaucrats are so incredibly out of touch with reality. There is no hope under this corrupt and incompetent administration for this once great and relatively safe city to survive.

I have two videos. The first one shows surveillance video of a shotgun wielding thug robbing a Chicago dry cleaner and terrorizing the people behind the counter.

The second is the afternoon press conference given by Jody Weis. Noticeably missing was a single question about his running away from that in progress shooting/homicide two weeks ago. I guess Chicago’s reporters are too afraid of being cut off from police information to dare ask anything embarrassing.

Chicago’s Cops Are In A really Foul Mood


Chicago, IL—An arbitrator settled the three-year running dispute between the city administration and its police officers. Because of inflation and out-of-control city taxation the officers are actually getting pay cuts. Of course the city always has millions for public works projects they don’t need.

I waited to see just how the cops were feeling after the news and there is one word, hatred. They hate the mayor, city council and more than a million unwashed freeloaders that support the administration.

Retaliation is on the way. The cops I talked to vowed that no more revenue producing enforcement efforts will be part of their routine. The response times will be reduced as officer obey traffic laws and wait for adequate back up before dealing with potentially violent calls.

Chicago cops are out-gunned and driving patrol vehicles that need junkyard retirement. Look for more officers taking more sick time and reporting more on duty injuries. Younger cops will be looking for work in other jurisdictions or to change careers and more older cops will look for retirement.

The people of Chicago need to arm themselves and prepare to fight or move to a safe location outside the city. Arrests will be way down as crime goes way up. As the street thugs learn they can control the city this will prove to be a dangerous year.

Don’t Confuse Being Anti-Socialist With Anti-Government


It happened under the Leftist Clinton Administration and it’s now more pronounced than ever under that Marxist Barack Obama. Conservative Americans are distrustful and greatly concerned about liberty, freedom and the U.S. Constitution. The Lleftists holding office claim that those who resist their policy are anti-government.

Our government can only operate under the Constitution. If those in power abuse the rights of Americans fighting them is not fighting the government but rather fighting piracy. Acting under color of law as a pirate is criminal and loyal Americans can be expected to kill pirates even if they hold office.

Pirate politicians that act in secret, use trickery to avoid proper public notice and step on the rights of or confiscate the money of citizens can expect to be taken out by patriots.

It is and should be a very dangerous business for pirate politicians because Americans cherish freedom and know blood must sometimes be shed to preserve our Constitution and way of life.

A good pirate is a dead pirate. If you are a public official, you take our property and liberty at your peril.

Liberty Rules In Arizona!

Phoenix, AZ—Governor Jan Brewer signed into law a significant measure of liberty for all law-abiding citizens. Carrying a concealed weapon is no longer a crime. No permits are required but the gun-packing people must not be convicted felons, mental defects or drug addicts. Those convicted of domestic violence are also prohibited. To enjoy the new liberty you must be at least 21 years of age. I call it a "new" liberty since it has been gone so long.

Arizona now joins Vermont and Alaska as states that have fully legalized self-defense.

Those Arizonans that wish to carry their weapons in the 40 or so states that recognize Arizona CCW permits should keep renewing theirs. Also the display of the CCW permits during police traffic stops will be appreciated by police officers.

The current process by the Department of public safety to issue CCW permits will continue for those wishing to obtain them.

Just because the training requirement has been discontinued does not mean training is not important. The training can save lives and keep you out of jail. Knowing the laws and liability of the justifiable use of deadly force is very important for anyone that refuses to be a crime victim. Contact the NRA or the Arizona State Rifle Association for training referrals. The Department of Public safety has a list of training schools on their website too.

The new law takes effect 90 days after the current legislative session ends, probably putting the effective date in July or August. I don’t suspect that cops, prosecutors or the courts will want to do much with people that jump the gun on the timing of the new law.

“The Coward” Will Personally Be On Patrol Tonight In Chicago


Chicago, IL—Police superintendent Jody Weis came out in the sunshine today long enough to tell reporters he was personally going out on patrol in the inner city tonight in light of the nasty violence of the last 24 hours.

I can’t help but believe this is just cheap publicity stunt to mitigate his running away from an in progress shooting homicide where the killer escaped two weeks ago. Weis has to somehow replace the image he left with the public with a new one perhaps of him actually arresting and frisking someone.

The official complaint of Weis’ cowardice from retired sergeant John Northen will not be erased from departmental history at least for decades. It will be a big part Weis’ pathetic legacy.

I know the officers on patrol want no part of this dog and pony show and will consider the superintendant’s efforts now a major hindrance rather than help. There will also be real concern for reporters getting hurt covering Weis’ theatrical endeavor.

In case you missed it the first time watch Jody Weis run away:

Mexican Actress In Federal Custody For Phony Marriage Green Card Scam


Los Angeles, CAFernanda Romero is an incredibly pretty lady and a working actress with a secret. Now, a jealous and vindictive former lover,and photographer Markus Klinko became a rat and government informant. Klinko apparently also hired a private investigator to shadow Romero. Klinko went to ICE agents who raced into action obtaining arrest warrants for Romero and her allegedly purchased husband Kent Ross charging Marriage Fraud.

"This actor should have realized that posing as a bride for immigration purposes could land her a role in a real-life crime drama," said the clever Special Agent in Charge for the ICE Office of Investigations in Los Angeles, Miguel Unzueta.

Romero and Ross face five-year federal prison terms and the promising acting career of Romero has been forever destroyed. Is this action seems so extreme considering that nothing of consequence ever happens to millions of people that invade our country and suck up taxpayer money. Romero was clearly self-reliant and took nothing from taxpayers.

Bail for Ross is already set at $25,000.00 and he’s expected to be released soon pending trial. Romero is destined for some serious heartbreak and misery since the U.S. Attorney is asking that she be held in detention without bail until trial.

I have to say there is a movie to be made about this tale of deceit, despair and doom. Who will play Romero in the film?

An update: This afternoon, the US Magistrate set bail at $50,000.00 for Romero with electronic monitoring. No, that new government provided ankle bracelet won’t be one of those sexy little gold ones from Beverly Hills. In any event that sure beats being locked up and fed gruel until the case is resolved in court

Seven Dead Overnight In Continued Chicago Genocide

Chicago, IL—The African-American carnage is triggered every time the Windy City’s weather improves. The Ghetto Rats bring out their banned guns and slaughter their own species.

These mad dog killers are facilitated because the ineffectiveness of a police command staff rife with City Hall cronyism instead of needed qualifications. That, as the mayor and city council has allowed the manpower to shrink well below a critical rate.

Superintendent Jody Weis has been conspicuously absent since he was accused of cowardice for running from the scene of a fatal shooting where the killer escaped two weeks ago.

Chicago will continue to bathe in blood as long as these dangerous killers are emboldened by an overwhelmed police department and gun laws that are only effective against law abiding Chicagoans.

Free Speech? As Long As Your Message Is Politically Correct


Here is a question. In an enlightened free society, can a publisher’s writings deserve a death sentence? No you say?

Here is a case where your words can cause your hanging. His name was Julius Streicher. He is the late founder and publisher of Der Stürmer newspaper in Germany and an ardent fan and supporter of Adolph Hitler.

Der Stürmer put its full editorial weight behind The Third Reich. Streicher was a proud and unrepentant Nazi who was arrested and tried at Nuremberg as a war criminal. No, Streicher was not a member of the government, military or police but merely a publisher.

Streicher was a rabid anti-Semite who used his hateful publishing to incite political support for his country’s government.

Streicher was the poster boy for hate speech and was a vile and despicable fellow but did he deserve to hang for the words he put on paper? Remember, Der Stürmer was not free like those provocative Internet blogs, people had to pay to read Streicher’s publication.

The answer is clear, if they don’t like what you publish or say you may dance at the end of a rope just like Julius Streicher.

Why We Will Have War In America

Washington, DC—Right now a group of man and women are locked in a conspiracy to confiscate property from and enslave their fellow Americans. This is nothing unusual for politicians anywhere. It is quite normal.

The Nazi Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring once talked about war this way: “Naturally the common people don't want war; neither in Russia, nor in England, nor in America, nor in Germany. That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.”

Most wars are about confiscation, domination and enslavement. Sometimes wars are about ending government extortion, robbery, enslavement and excessive domination. In today’s America all of these things are in the alignment for a perfect storm.

Politicians are the control freaks and warmongers of the world. They campaign with one kind face and at the right moment of opportunity they reveal another face. The truth is evasive and controlled by public relations experts. Americans have been poor judges of character as they have elected lousy leaders for far too long.

It was the ingenious use of the new medium of radio that gave Roosevelt, Stalin and Hitler celebrity status and credibility they did not deserve. Effective speakers can put people into a cult/leader relationship and gain their undying loyalty.

Hitler’s Third Reich is the easiest government to study because that regime is both recent and the subject of end endless supply of books, films and articles. The participants of that rogue government documented each and every move they made. We never had to guess how things happened inside their reign.

The noble concept of the Nuremberg War Crimes Trial (1945-46) was to elevate the immoral and garish hangings of the Nazis, to a moral act. They tried to avoid the exercise as a demonstration of might over those they conquered. That clever public relations spin worked on most people.

Goering boasted during the trial that in 50 or 60 years there would be statues of him all over Germany. No the statues are not there but the books, films and articles are worldwide.

The Nazis took full advantage of a good crisis to win absolute power. The Reichstag was set on fire and that was blamed on their political enemies. There was and still exists an underground tunnel from Hermann Goring’s residence to the Reichstag building. During Goring’s trial, a Nazi subordinate general testified that Goring proudly told him that he set the fire.

Will we have war in America? I’m sorry to say the ambitions of our politicians is making war unavoidable. We will have war. It’s inevitable. Goring was right.

The Changing Face Of The Drew Peterson Legal Team

Click on picture to enlarge. (Who is that guy with the Berlin cap?)

Joliet, IL—Charged with the murder of his third wife, Drew Peterson is in uncharted legal territory. The Drew Peterson Law crafted by the Illinois Legislature specifically to allow hearsay evidence has complicated this case that lacks any real hard evidence. I expect endless appeals to haunt the proceedings because hearsay evidence was barred by the Bill of Rights. We may have to hear from the United States Supreme court to learn if hearsay will be accepted in our courts.

Chicago lawyer Joel Brodsky is still at the helm of the Peterson defense but as of right now he's being joined by the venerable criminal lawyer, Joe Lopez. Lopez was prominent in the Chicago Family Secrets Trial and has a great reputation among his peers.

Lopez is no stranger to the Peterson case having argued it in a mock trial at the IIT Kent College of Law sponsored by WGN radio. I personally was there to see that even which ended in a hung jury that split 50-50 for acquittal. Peterson seems to be in good hands.

Watch Lopez at work:

Los Angeles Officials Use Mob Tactics—Pay Or Die!


Los Angeles, CA—They spent wildly on things taxpayers never needed and now they say they can’t pay police overtime. Instead of curtailing enforcement of victimless crimes like prostitution, gambling and drug offenses they actually announced they can’t pay police to investigate murders!

Los Angeles politicians are intimidating and terrorizing citizens at the worst possible time during a period of economic depression while they empty the jails and prisons.

Long ago, Los Angeles turned into a sanctuary city for trespassers looking for free medical care and gratis public schools to babysit their endless supply of children. As a result the hospitals and schools simply can’t continue.

This city has found every creative way to expand their control over things never intended for government. This is a city run by Marxists. Of course they’re broke; they ran out of other people’s money.

Now they’ve stopped paying homicide dicks overtime to solve the city’s murders. Of course they publicized this to make additional tax demands more palatable for frightened taxpayers who they hope will agree to anything.

Los Angeles politicians want your cash and like any good crime syndicate they are frightening anyone they can to get your money. What these city officials are up to is called EXTORTION.

Why let killers go instead of leaving desperate women alone that sell their bodies in order to feed themselves and children? Someone please tell me how this makes sense? News media folks were led to this story like lambs to the slaughter. How’d they ever get the media to bite on this story without asking tough questions?

Ann Jillian Will Rock Spokane April 15

Click on Picture to enlarge it.

Spokane, WA—Okay I’m plugging my dear friend Ann Jillian’s show at the Northern Quest casino here. Trust me this is no chore, Spokane is in for a treat.

I know Ann through and her husband a former Chicago police sergeant from 023, Andy Murcia. Andy met and soon married Ann when he met her while working his part time security gig at the Ambassador East Hotel. Andy saw this little hottie all dolled up and thought she was a hooker.

Instead of getting solicited for some kinky and expensive fun, the lucky copper was invited to see her show which was running in town. Understandably the good sergeant was hooked but in a way he never expected!

Andy soon took a leave of absence from the department and headed off to deal with Ann’s career that included Emmy Award nominations and the coveted Golden Globe. Ann was also a popular Atlantic City headliner.

Rain fell on this young couple in the form of Ann being diagnosed with breast cancer. It was a horrible experience that struck while Ann was at the height of her career. Ann was and is a disciplined individual who possessed the right stuff and took control of what was trying to control her. She took a short break of just 11 days to have a double mastectomy and was right back singing, dancing and acting.

Ann did not let her life-threatening medical problems change her life but soon the birth of her son Andrew, Jr. got her undivided maternal attention. There was little time for films and TV series as Ann became the perfect mom. Today, Andrew, Jr. is a handsome, 4.3 grade average student that will be starting college in the fall.

Ann is a role model and sought after motivational speaker helping women afflicted with breast cancer understand there is not just life but great life for survivors.

Ann does occasional concerts and has the voice of an angel. You can visit her web site Annjillian.com and obtain her CD’s.

Ann still has a solid fan base that loves her. If you’re in the area get your tickets quick because they are nearly sold out. There’s only one word, WOW!

Sit back and enjoy a couple of songs from Ann past film performances.
