Former Blagojevich adviser Christopher Kelly to plead guilty

[bijou]

Another card may have fallen in the governor's house of cards. Christopher Kelly - one of Gov. Blagojevich's closest advisers, fund-raisers and friends - is set to plead guilty in his federal criminal case, according to a court filing.

Kelly was charged last year with failing to report gambling proceeds. He was not charged with conduct related to state deals but is widely known to be under scrutiny for fund-raising schemes under Blagojevich.

...

Kelly is pleading guilty only to the tax charges, according to a source who said the timing is unrelated to the governor's charges.

It isn't the Governor's house of cards -- it is the new fuhrer's house of cards -- when his hand;ers go down, he will be too stupid to save himself.
