Why Is the Governor’s Criminal Defense Lawyer Making Political Overtures?
Sam Adam was the one to approach Davis and Burris.
This is bizarre and opens up all sorts of questions about what exactly is going on in the Governor’s office. Most I’ve heard from on this see it as setting up some sort of defense for a trial later. The possibility I keep coming back to is that in Blagojevich’s ‘mind’ he thinks the feds probably cannot track the lawyer’s calls and so they aren’t likely to become public.
As with most things, we don’t know what Rod is ‘thinking’ but he does give us a lot of fun guessing.

Let’s not overthink this. Blagojevich has lost all his enablers: Harris, Monk, Wyma, Quinlan. Sam Adam and G/Jenson are filling the gap.
