Sheldon Sorosky, one of Rod Blagojevich’s lawyers, has been trying to
drag President Barack Obama into the fray this afternoon, asking union
official Tom Balanoff whether the FBI asked him about campaign money
going to Obama.
drag President Barack Obama into the fray this afternoon, asking union
official Tom Balanoff whether the FBI asked him about campaign money
going to Obama.
Prosecutors objected, as they have so often
during cross-examinations, and U.S. District Judge James Zagel said
Sorosky should only ask in general what the FBI had said to Balanoff.
Sorosky tried the question again, using Zagel’s recommended wording.
“I know that won’t be objected to,” Sorosky said, causing the nearby
Blagojevich to laugh.
