The Truth takes a hit ....again

http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/blagojevich/1431668,roland-burris-perjury-investigation-021409.article

Soon to be Ex-Senator Burris' attorney claims that the "fluid nature" of the questioning prevented him from telling the truth under oath.

Burris' lawyer, Timothy Wright III, said that the "fluid nature" of the questioning and a review of the transcript showed Burris that he "was unable to fully respond to several matters."

UPDATE 2/16/09: New Affidavit Forthcoming

As reported in the Chicago Tribune today, soon to be ex-senator Burris has now acknowledged that he did offer to raise some money in exchange for the Senate seat. Guess that menas that last week's affidavit should be considered as a Work in Progress.
