When Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich committed $8 million in state money to a local children's hospital this fall, federal authorities said he wasn't going to let the precious dollars out of his hands so easily. He demanded a $50,000 campaign contribution from the hospital's chief executive in return. It's among the various accusations against Mr. Blagojevich, who was named last week in a federal criminal complaint on charges of trying to sell President-elect Barack Obama's now-vacant U.S. Senate seat.

SPRINGFIELD - While many Democrats were elated with the election of Barack Obama, the elevation of Illinois' junior senator to the White House on Nov. 4 appears to have irked Gov. Rod Blagojevich. In the 78-page criminal complaint filed against the Illinois governor Tuesday, Blagojevich uses foul language in multiple instances to describe the president-elect.
[Pat Quinn] has called for the impeachment of the governor, but that is a political act. [Rod Blagojevich] will get his opportunity to defend himself in a court of law, and impeachment proceedings will necessarily founder on political maneuvering, not seeking the truth, or justice, just political retribution and gain. The end run to the state Supreme Court, to strip Blagojevich of the governorship because of "disability," proposed by Attorney General Lisa Madigan, is unpalatable, especially since it is no secret that Madigan has designs on the governor's seat. The criminal complaint filed against him last week contains transcripts of taped conversations which paint Blagojevich as a scheming, arrogant, profane profiteer, who sought to derive personal financial and political benefit from ...

Tusk's career- other than his four years as Blagojevich's top aide- consists of five years of leash law and litter policy at the New York City Parks Department two years as a spokesman for Senator Charles Schumer, one year as a low-level adviser at the start of Bloomberg's firstterm, and nearly two years as alobbyist for another 2008 debacle, Lehman Brothers. Since the Blagojevich job is Tusk's only significant managerial experience, it oddly becomes the rationale for his hire, an uncomfortable reality for a mayor known to pick the best talent available.

In a wiretapped conversation, [Rod Blagojevich] considered appointing Senate Candidate 4 to fill the Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama after he won the presidency. The former Democratic governor believed he could, "count on (Senate Candidate 4), if tilings got hot, to give (the Senate seat) up and let me parachute over there," according to the criminal complaint filed by the U.S. Attorney's Office, which led to Blagojevich's Dec. 9 arrest.

SPRINGFIELD, Ill. -- The Illinois Supreme Court on Wednesday denied an effort to remove Gov. Rod Blagojevich, rejecting what could have been the quickest way to force the Democrat from office. Blagojevich's lawyer, meanwhile, said the governor would not appoint someone to fill Barack Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat, potentially answering one of the key questions surrounding the scandal.

CHICAGO - In a move intended to force public testimony from President-elect Barack Obama's inner circle, a lawyer for Gov.

Barbara Flynn Currie told The Associated Press on Thursday that the House committee received a letter from Blagojevich attorney Ed Genson asking it to subpoena Rep. Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett and more than a dozen others, including Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.
