The offices of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich's defense lawyers have been robbed and police said thieves made off with eight computers and a safe.

Investigators were interviewing the attorneys, trying to determine whether any data related to Blagojevich's federal fraud case were on the computers' hard drives, the Associated Press reported.

Police said the burglars tripped an alarm during the break-in overnight.

The robbery occurred at the Chicago offices of defense lawyer Sam Adam and his son, Samuel E. Adam. They are part of the legal team defending Blagojevich on charges that he schemed to profit in the naming of someone to fill President Obama's former Senate seat.

Our New Approach to Comments

In an effort to encourage the same level of civil dialogue among Politics Daily’s readers that we expect of our writers – a “civilogue,” to use the term coined by PD’s Jeffrey Weiss – we are requiring commenters to use their AOL or AIM screen names to submit a comment, and we are reading all comments before publishing them. Personal attacks (on writers, other readers, Nancy Pelosi, George W. Bush, or anyone at all) and comments that are not productive additions to the conversation will not be published, period, to make room for a discussion among those with ideas to kick around.
