ROB KALL.: And welcome to the Rob Kall Bottom Up Radio Show, WNJC 1360 AM, out of Washington Township reaching Metro Philly and South Jersey. Available online through iTunes or go to opednews.com/podcasts and on iTunes look for my name, Rob Kall, K A L L. My guest tonight is Sam Adam, Jr. He is an attorney. Matter of fact the National Trial Lawyers recently named him one of the top one hundred trial lawyers in America. Mister Adam led the first defense team that represented the former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich in his 2010 Federal Corruption trial.
During that trial the former governor was convicted on just one count after the jury deadlocked on the remaining twenty three counts. So I invited Sam to be on the show to talk about Chris Christie, he has had experience defending a governor who has been accused of corruption. Welcome to the show, Sam.
S.A.: Appreciate you asking me, I'm glad to be here. I will answer any questions you may have for me I am just really proud to be here.
R.K.: Well it's great to have you here. So, basically I am interested in your take on Christie and how it compares to the Blagojevich story and how you would look at this as a prosecutor and as a defense attorney.
S.A.: Well I have got to tell you when you first contacted me I didn't see too much of a comparison but over the last twenty four hours I can see a lot of comparison between the Blagojevich case and the Christie case and how it's going to develop.
I think after yesterday's press conference and coming out by the Hoboken Mayor out there, Christie had a lot of problems and I can answer as far as the prosecution, how I would handle it, as also as a defense attorney, what I think needs to be done. But I see Chris Christie having a lot of problems now underneath the wire fraud, maybe a RICO statutes as well coming down the line.
R.K.: RICO, how is that?
