Blagojevich and Libby

So the bathoic Blagojevich is convicted on one of twenty-four counts, lying to the FBI during the investigation. I don't know if this is an indictment of the jury, the electorate (sort of the same), how inept a crook Blagojevich is or Fitzgerald. There is a recurring pattern here, though. Some guy is rousted, investigated to death and the only thing they get him on is lying during the questioning. The same thing happened with Libby. Fitzgerald--again--knew who the leak source was but pushed on and trapped Libby in some inconsistency and sent him to jail. I have absolutely no sympathy for politicians of any stripe and believe they are all probable felons and traitors. But this catching an innocent man for what he does in the course of an investigation that exonerates him is creepy. Sort of like kicking in the door of the wrong house and then arresting the owner for resisting arrest.
