Politicians arrested II
Today the FBI arrested the Illinois governor and his chief of staff on federal corruption charges related in part to the selection of President-elect Barack Obama’s successor to the Senate, the U.S. attorney’s office said. The vacant senate seat was up for the highest bidder according to several sources.
One big question now is whether the arrested governor retains the right to name Obama’s successor if he remains in custody or even under indictment. The answer is supposedly yes.
