Impeachment Panel Report is Out -- Read Online Here
Want to know the exact reasons why the House impeachment committee wants to kick Governor Rod Blagojevich out of office? Just click!

The report is 69 pages long, with 20 pages dedicated to the criminal corruption complaint against the governor, 26 pages on other abuses of power, and one section decrying his refusal to testify. Democrat State Rep. Gary Hannig (D-Litchfield) joked that lawmakers did have fears that the Web site would crash with all the interest from citizens. So far, the site's had no problem with overloads.

The impeachment committee could vote late today to approve this report, and give the report to the full House, which could vote yet today or more likely tomorrow to issue Articles of Impeachment. The next step is a Senate trial.
