Let's hope he now takes down Rahm and Obama. Start spilling everything you know, Blago. Start holding pressers from your jail cell.

A big AMEN to that.

Like the saying: The bigger they are, the harder they fall!" Good work for the prosecution and especially for the jury. This is very impressive

Now with nothing to lose, Blago can start singing (and I don't mean his Elvis impersonation) about the depth of corruption and dirty deals imbued throughout the Illinois DemonRAT regime. And that includes: OBAMA.

"Paired with a conviction on lying to the FBI from his first trial, he faces up to 300 years in prison, though his sentence will likely be much shorter."

Oh my gosh, Jarett’s there! Who da thunk! Jarett’s basically in charge of BO so no surprise she’s watching Blov. go down. She’s one nasty lady for sure! But dummer then a pile of rocks on anything other than Chicago style politics.

It comes to 300 years of total charges for the 17 counts.

Sing Blago Sing!

Start talking and take some of the others down with you.

You know where the evidence is, they didn’t back you here so you owe them nothing now, be a man and spill your guts while hooked to the polygraph just to show them you’re serious.

Well, no doubt he swam in the dirty Chicago and IL sewer .. with all the rest of them... who’re still swimming in it. I still feel the trial procedures, discovery issues, witness exclusions were stilted, and that it was a less than stellar judicial and ethical process.

Rahm Emanuel ??

Tony Rezko ??

All their documented activities and patently suspicious
actions ??

No .. they were out to snuff Blago permanently. Judge Zagel was quite arbitrary in what he accepted and denied in evidence and tapes. We’ll see what may come up in the appeal.

IL ...like Louisiana, New Jersey (minus Christie and what he’s proving can be done), CA, NY .. is still dirty, filthy and beyond criminally corrupt from top to bottom, and those vermin political players and snakes are still at play, screwing their constituents from dawn to dusk, 24/7. And none more than the king of IL-thugs at P’vaniaAve.

Another notable action of his term was a strict new ethics law. When campaigning for re-election in 2006, Blagojevich said that if his ethics law had existed when former governor George Ryan had been in office, Ryan’s corruption might not have occurred.[39] Blagojevich also signed a comprehensive death penalty reform bill that was written by then-Senator Barack Obama and the late U.S. Senator Paul M. Simon. Organized labor and African Americans were Blagojevich’s staunchest political supporters.[31] In 2008, he told a group of African-Americans that he sometimes considered himself the first African American governor of Illinois.[45]

“Major victory for Fitzie.
Convicted of selling the poser’s senate seat.

Guilty on 18 counts.

Stymied on 2 counts.

Blago going in the slammer, it appears.”

Couldn't happen to a nicer more deserving guy! A lot of his "Friends' Need to join him there.
