If Blago's strategy was to try to influence the jury pool, his attorney, the notoriously shifty Ed Gensen, wouldn't have quit last Friday. I think Blago's just freewheeling it cause he doesn't see that he still has more to lose.
His media blitz provides the opportunity for him to make inadvertent admissions and inconsitent statements that can be used against him in a Federal Trial. Everytime Blago opens his mouth on the subject he is, in essence, testifying.
I also don't think we've seen an end to the indictments. Fitzgerald made the Obama seat controversy public because there was no keeping a lid on it. But he has also been talking to Rezko and his cronies and that may produce more indictments.
