What’s the real meaning behind Blago’s extended hand?

The Washington Examiner reports on "justice" in Chicago and what Patrick Fitzgerald knew about a Senate seat being sold:

if U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald already knew that, why the “stunning, early morning arrest” of Blago, as described by the Chicago Tribune, which admitted sitting on the story of the undercover investigation for weeks at Fitzgerald’s request and then suddenly reporting it after alerting Blago he was under surveillance. If Fitzgerald already knew no Senate appointment was imminent, why did he arrest Blago before any money or favors he allegedly demanded for the seat could be exchanged?

Another great one from Barbara Hollingsworth.
