Fitzgerald may share Blago tapes and transcripts with impeachment panel
Unlike the L.A. times which still to this date has never released the tapes of Hussein Obama at Rashid Khalidi’s sendoff dinner from Chicago to New York some years back, U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald is telling a special Illinois House committee weighing the impeachment of Gov. Rod Blagojevich that his office won’t help the panel with witnesses members want to question and documents they want to see because it might compromise “an ongoing criminal investigation.” Fitzgerald did leave open the possibility that the 21-member House panel could get copies of secretly recorded tapes of Blagojevich from the governor’s campaign office and from his home telephone that were the basis of Blagojevich’s Dec. 9 arrest. Federal prosecutors will decide that issue perhaps later today.
