Blago Impeachment Panel Split on Subpoena for Obama Aides
Dec. 26 (Bloomberg) -- An Illinois panel considering the impeachment of Governor Rod Blagojevich is divided over whether to subpoena aides of President-elect Barack Obama and a U.S. congressman. The committee is looking into the Democratic governor's alleged attempt to auction Obama's vacant U.S. Senate seat.

Blagojevich's attorney, Edward Genson, today sent the 21- member impeachment committee a list of witnesses he wants summoned to testify before the panel next week. The list includes Obama's chief of staff appointee Rahm Emanuel and adviser Valerie Jarrett, both of whom were interviewed last week by federal prosecutors in a corruption probe of the governor's office.
Oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please, oh please ...
Republican members of the impeachment panel want Democratic Chairwoman Barbara Flynn Currie to grant Genson's request to subpoena Emanuel, Jarrett and U.S. Representative Jesse Jackson Jr., a Chicago Democrat and aspirant to Obama's former Senate post.
