John Harris, chief of staff for Governor Rod Blagojevich and arrested with him on Tuesday, resigned from his position today. He dropped off the resignation and won’t return to the capital.
How significant is this? It may signal that Harris wants to cut a deal, which he can’t do while serving Blagojevich. Any deal Harris would cut would require him to plead guilty on some charges, and he’d necessarily need to give up his position …
It also puts pressure on Blagojevich to step aside. … Harris’ departure will likely touch off an exodus in the next few days.
More shoes look ready to drop. Stay tuned.
It’s the slow motion Blagojevich train wreck. The cars are beginning to pile up.
