what a stupid idea

Blagojevich lawyer to submit Obama report to panel

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. – The lead attorney for Gov. Rod Blagojevich said he plans to submit President-elect Barack Obama's internal report on contacts with the scandal-plagued governor to the Illinois House committee weighing impeachment.

Attorney Ed Genson told the Chicago Sun-Times on Sunday the report would support Blagojevich's claims that he hasn't done anything wrong in his handling of Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat.

Earlier in the week, Obama released the internal report supporting his insistence that there had been no inappropriate contact with the governor's office by Obama or his staff.

State Rep. Barbara Flynn Currie, chairwoman of the committee, said Sunday that Genson's request to submit the report would probably be approved. But she expressed skepticism that the report would prove the governor's innocence.

"Maybe in this particular instance someone didn't run a stop sign, but it doesn't say they didn't run a different stop sign," she said.

No one ever thought that Obama's team was involved in this scandal so showing that they weren't involved proves nothing whatsoever. How could anyone even begin to think otherwise? This report proves the innocence of Obama and his team, not of Blagojevich.

Mindbogglingly dumb...
