-By Warner Todd Huston

Robert Blagojevich, brother of disgraced Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, is celebrating today because the feds have dropped all charges against him and will not be re-trying him net year.

As to the ex-gov, Judge Zagel says that his re-trial should begin in the first week of January, 2011.

No news if the father and son team of lawyers will continue to represent the deposed governor. The Adamses continue to say they are Blagojevich’s friends, but Judge Zagel has given the pair until October to decide i they will continue as a part of Blagojevich’s legal team.
