From the Chicago Sun-Times:
Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration must disclose subpoenas it received from federal prosecutors investigating hiring for state jobs, a judge ruled Wednesday.
There's no evidence the subpoenas, issued two years ago, would jeopardize a criminal investigation, Sangamon County Circuit Judge Patrick Kelley said.
But Kelley did not order the governor to immediately hand over the documents to the Better Government Association, which sued to get them.
He will not order that as long as there is an appeal pending. Blagojevich lawyer Thomas Londrigan said an appeal was certain.
Blagojevich is a Chicago Democrat who, assuming such a thing exists, must be the most popular choice in the "Which Illinois politician is going to get indicted next?" pool.
The Better Government Association filed its suit in Springfield. Judicial Watch has a similar suit pending in Chicago.
It's only going to get worse for Blagojevich. He should resign immediately.
And as I noted yesterday, the Tony Rezko trial starts next month.
