Great news for Obama. Not only has Blagojevich decided not to testify in his trial - going back on what he has been saying ever since he was arrested - but his attorneys have decided to rest their case little more than two days into their defense. Individuals who will not take the stand include Tony Rezko, Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett, and Blagojevich himself. All along, Blago has maintained his innocence and insisted he would take the stand.

The Hill: The White House appears to have avoided any major entanglement in the Blagojevich trial.
None of the officials who were expected to testify will take the stand as witnesses for the former governor's defense.
This whole episode seems more than just a little fortuitous for the White House.
