Blago Top Aide Pleads Guilty

A former top aide to ousted Gov. Rod Blagojevich has pleaded guilty to taking part in a plan to sell or trade President Barack Obama's former Senate seat in exchange for financial benefits for the governor or his wife.

Charged with one count of wire fraud, reportedly Harris is cooperating with the Feds:

"I have never met a person who is going to be a better witness than John Harris is going to be," Ekl told reporters after his client pleaded guilty.

There are lots more shoes to drop. Blago's earlier chief of staff, Lon Monk, is also expected to plead guilty later this month. Harris also served as Mayor Daley's chief of staff.

And once again we hear the names of FObama Valerie Jarrett and the ubiquitous SEIU.
