Fitzgerald's Letter to the Illinois House Committee Investigating Blago: Don't Call Rezko as Witness

United States Attorney Northern District.Bloomberg reports:
U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald declined to help an Illinois impeachment panel targeting Governor Rod Blagojevich, saying cooperation may compromise his own inquiry into political corruption.

Fitzgerald won’t provide affidavits, wiretap applications, fundraising lists or names of anonymous witnesses, according to a letter the House legislative committee released today. He asked lawmakers to avoid Blagojevich’s staff, as well as fundraisers such as developer Antoin Rezko, who was convicted in June for seeking millions of dollars in kickbacks.
A good indicator the Rezko is cooperating.
