Illinois Governor sliding down slippery slope

Maybe this latest foray that Blago is treading down will be the one that sends him over the edge. It appears the Governor is now interferring with the workings of the Attorney General and her office and that could land his administration in serious trouble with the Federal Courts.

Lisa Madigan, Illinois Attorney General hired an outside law firm to represent the Department of Transportation in several lawsuits that were filed by former employees of the department; who claim among other things that they were fired to make room for the Gov's groupies.

Well, as it turns out, the law firm filed a leave to withdraw with the court; so, Madigan acting as the head attorney for the State of Illinois directed the law firm to send her office all the files on the cases and she would reassign it to another firm.

They refused. Uh what was that again? An attorney refusing to follow the directions of the client? Which by the way is the Attorney General. The lead attorney for the department told the law firm in a memo not to turn over the files and to refuse the order.

Now some background here is important, remember that I said the lawsuits were due to former employees being terminated to make room for butt boys' political groupies; now, Lisa Madigan opened an investigation into the administrations actions as it relates to the hiring and firing of employees.

Considering that these lawsuits deal with the same thing that she is investigating it makes one wonder what in the hell are they hiding? hmmmmm Rod, I think your administration is starting to come apart at the seams bubba....and it could not happen to a nicer guy :)

Maybe he is hiding the rotten apples in IDOT and with her investigating he is more likely to be brought down?

Blago is a moron, and I am still amazed at the fact he was even elected.

Illinois has some very S-T-U-P-I-D voters.
