Judge denies Blago motion to subpoeana Obama

Last week lawyers for disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich filed a motion to subpeona President Obama to testify at his corruption trial.

But U.S. District Judge James B. Zagel denied the motion this afternoon.

Because of some sloppy editing of an Adobe PDF document, redacted portions of the motion were readable, which revealed that then-President-elect Obama may have been disingenuous about his role in the process of choosing his successor.
