Blago administration "go to" guy found dead due to "aspirin overdose"
When asked for comment, Vince Foster said "yea, that happens sometimes"
...Kelly was expected to report to federal prision Sept. 18, according to MyFOXChicago.
Days after his guilty plea, he said he was being pressured by the federal prosecutors to cooperate in their Blagojevich corruption investigation, the Sun-Times reported...
The guy was sentenced to three years at Club Fed. How do you "pressure" someone who only has to do three years?
I knew a bank president from Iowa some years ago who was caught taking bribes to give farm loans. He was sentenced to 3 years at Eglin. We went to visit him and he walks out into the visiting area wearing designer jeans and Nikes, after coming in off the tennis courts. There were no cells at Eglin, its open barracks housing, and there were no fences (other than around the tennis courts) - just a line painted on the ground the "prisoners" aren't supposed to cross over. Unfortunately, the pool was filled in years ago after John Mitchell was photographed lounging in it sipping Mint Juleps, so there is some hardship - a resort without a pool is distinctly 2nd rate.
