Blago's attorneys, a father & son team, were at odds about Blago taking the stand. The son professed that Rod is an excellent communicator (Your dad is correct - a true bullshitter!) and could put all the questions and doubt of his innocence to rest by taking the stand. The father attorney wouldn't hear of it and did not let Blago testify. We are all waiting to see how doing things "The Chicago Way" ends up!
