Rod Blagojevich Indictment!

Rod Blagojevich Indictment! Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been handed an federal indictment. The Rod Blagojevich 76-page federal indictment was filed moments agao.
The criminal charge alleges Blagojevich tried to sell the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama!
Also at issue : “Blagojevich was also accused of threatening to withhold substantial state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of the Chicago Cubs’ baseball home Wrigley Field “to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical” of him” reports Reuters.
A statement by the FBI has been issued. Robert D. Grant, Special Agent-in-Charge of the Chicago Office of the Federal Bureau of Investigation states the following:
“Many, including myself, thought that the recent conviction of a former governor would usher in a new era of honesty and reform in Illinois politics. Clearly, the charges announced today reveal that the office of the Governor has become nothing more than a vehicle for self-enrichment, unrestricted by party affiliation and taking Illinois politics to a new low.”
No comment by the Governor.

Barack Obama, Nation, Rod Blagojevich, politics
