Occasional Drug Use

  • Sam Adam Jr. livens up the room as his animated cross examination of Lon Monk begins. Adam's questions cut deep, to Lon Monk and Rod Blagojevich's friendship beginning back at Pepperdine Law School in Malibu, Calif.

    Adam says Monk and Blagojevich lived together in law school, they shared secrets, talked about girls. Monk agrees.

    Adam says the two of them never committed any crimes together back then, right?

    Monk: "Other than some occasional drug use," Monk says to some laughter by spectators. "Yes." Adam: "I'm not here to ask you about that."
  • Potential jurors waiting to be questioned in Rod Blagojevich's case discussed the trial's news coverage with each other last week, apparently flouting a judge's order just days after they were told to stop reading or listening to such news, a former prospective juror told the Chicago Sun-Times.

    One of the people who was in the room during the discussion is now on the Blagojevich jury, said David Hallstrom -- formerly juror number 169.

We remember that at least one, maybe two, members of the George Ryan jury ended up having criminal records that were the basis for all sorts of political intrigue where lawyers for both sides may have known this in the hopes of throwing a wrench into things or basing an appeal on it. We certainly look like we're headed that way again.

With all the goofy stuff Blago has done and even publicly said since his arrest/indictment, you'd think he was still using mind altering substances...

Blago just usurped the Machine by denying Mike Madigan's wishes.

Mike wanted Lisa to become a US Senator and when told to get fucked called in all his cards.

Totally Agree! Madigan and Daley angry about CTA Senior Fees, etc) went after Blago. Blago showed his true colors: he was in it for himself not for Madigan and Daley. Anyone in IL politics who wants to keep their job, can never forget that the they must bow to the King and Queen.

I laughed out loud when I read the "just some occasional drug use" testimony! Did Adam know he was gonna say that? It can only be good to surprise Sam Sr. or Sam Jr. while testifying... Maybe the govt. will pursue that on redirect! In a rare move, Adam replied "We won't pursue that issue" big surprise, wouldn't want to show a pattern of lawlessness in his client!!

Hey with what the judge did for Vydrolyak, it would not surprise me one bit to find the Blago trial is part of the cover-up.

Anybody who has grown up in this city with their head removed from their ass knows that judges and jury's can And have been fixed (bought).

I said in the beginning, we are never going to hear the tapes (or any of the really incriminating stuff) and Blago isn't going to jail.

I hope I'm wrong, but there are too many people in power that don't want that to happen.

Nope, he lives in 017 in Ravenswood Manor. Rahm lives in 019 (Wilson/Hermitage) and doesn't pay his full value on his property taxes.

I don't buy this because if true, why wouldn't Lisa be running for Senate right now? Alexi wouldn't have run (well, he'd have run away) and she'd easily crush liar-liar-pants-on-fire Kirk

Lisa is not running for two reasons:

1. She is on record stating she has no interest in being a US Senator, thus deflecting the fact that Daddy Madigan tried to get her the spot from Blago.

2. Daddy Madigan knows that 2010 is going to be a banner year for the Republican Party.
