The Illinois House committee investigating a possible impeachment of Gov. Rod Blagojevich won’t subpoena two incoming White House advisers, despite a request from the governor’s attorney.

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald in a letter on Friday asked the special investigative committee specifically to not subpoena President-elect Barack Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and Nils Larsen, a Tribune Co. executive vice president.

Fitzgerald said any such subpoenas “would interfere with the ongoing criminal investigation into the activities of Governor Rod Blagojevich and others.”

The 52-year-old Democrat was arrested on Dec. 9 and charged with scheming to sell President-elect Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat to the highest bidder, a charge the governor denies.

And what does Blagovich have to say about the scandal?

“Even in this process, without saying too much, that was all about trying to end up with the right decision that could do the most things for the people of Illinois, and when the full truth is told, you will see precisely that,” Blagojevich said.

“If somehow that’s impeachable, then I’m on the wrong planet and I’m living in the wrong place,” he said.

Well, I guess then you better move to another planet, Blago.
