WATCH LIVE RIGHT NOW!!!

According to the Detroit Free Press, the Motor City Mayor is due to appear before Wayne County Circuit Judge David Groner in his criminal perjury case that all began when he and his former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty were busted have an affair that resulted in a $8.4 million judgement against the city.

Hardball prosecutors, led by African American attorney Kym Worthy, plan to publicly present detail evidence about Kilpatrick's malfeasance whether da mayor agrees to it or not. if convicted of all charges, he faces 15 years in prison.

The word is the deal calls for the Kilpatrick, 38, pleading guilty to two felonies -- both counts dealing with obstruction of justice by committing perjury, four months in jail, $1 million in restitution, and five years' probation during which he would not run for office. The mayor also would turn over his state pension to the City of Detroit.

Earlier this week, Worthy had offered the mayor six months in jail. That apparently was lowered to four months by Wednesday night.

Meanwhile, Gov. Jennifer Granholm, who began historic proceedings Wednesday to help her decide whether she will remove Kilpatrick from office, postponed Day 2 of her hearing by an hour today, to 10 a.m., to give Kilpatrick's situation a chance to develop this morning.

Kilpatrick's longtime high school friend and ex-lover Christine Beatty, who also is charged with felonies in the scandal, was not included in any plea discussions Wednesday, her lawyer said. Both were married when the liasons ocurred.

Michigan Governor Steps In And Tells Detroit's Mayor Kawme To Hit The Road !

Michigan governors have the constitutional authority to remove elected officials for misconduct. Democrat Governor Jennifer Granholm is therefore going to the "whipping stick" and moving ahead with an extraordinary public hearing that could cost Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick his job in a scandal over steamy text messages and millions of tax dollars.

"The way this is set up, the governor has free rein to be the judge, jury and executioner,"---James Thomas Attorney for Kilpatrick

Granholm, a fellow Democrat, has pared the case to two issues: Did Kilpatrick settle the lawsuits for personal gain because he feared release of the text messages? And did the mayor conceal information from the City Council?

The council's attorney, William Goodman, is promising to present a "robust and interesting" case to the governor. "Stay tuned," he told reporters.

It's not known whether the mayor will testify or even attend. Kilpatrick attorney James Thomas said the removal process seems stacked against the accused.

KWAME'S MAMA FACES TOUGH ROAD AHEAD IN FIGHT TO KEEP HER CONGRESSIONAL SEAT

Thanks to her son Detroit Mayor Kwame "Can a n****a get a table dance" Kilpatrick, U.S. Representative Carolyn Cheeks Kilpatrick, a Detroit Democrat faces a tough race in her efforts for re-election on August 5th.

In the spirit of Wendy Williams and Omarosa, Representative Kilpatrick recently found herself in a heated verbal sparing with her challengers Sen. Martha Scott of Highland Park and former state Rep. Mary Waters of Detroit on Detroit's channel 4 news program Flashpoint.

Kilpatrick, who sits on the powerful Appropriations Committee and claims to have brought $500 million back to Michigan and the district, quizzed both Waters and Scott about their knowledge of Congress.

"How many appropriations committees are there in Congress? How many departments are there in the federal government? What department has the largest bill before the appropriations committee?" she asked.

They didn't know.

"But I'm a quick learner," Scott said.

Waters disputed Kilpatrick's claims, saying, "Anybody who goes to Congress can bring home the dollars."

But Kilpatrick had a ready response to Waters. "You can't even carry my bra."

Was Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick a Sex Addict as well as a Text Addict?

In court this past Monday,evidence of additional extramarital affairs involving Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick came from his own text messages, which reveal Kilpatrick had relationships with women besides his wife and his former Chief of Staff Christine Beatty.

Prosecutors have obtained more than five years of the mayor's messages as part of their criminal investigation.

Miller said there will be no new people charged in the investigation "at this time."

The possibility that other women would become part of the prosecution's case almost as an aside last Thursday was argued that prosecutors should be allowed to publicly file court documents that included hundreds of previously undisclosed text messages.

Most of the new messages are said to go to the heart of the existing charges of perjury, conspiracy and misconduct in office against Kilpatrick.
