When wiretaps are legally and constitutionally obtained, they are devastating evidence. Yes, Blago is innocent until proven guilty, and I will enjoy seeing what kind of defense he will put on, but come on. It is his voice we hear and read spewing more swears than Dick Nixon ever did. There is no real way Blago can claim innocence.
The attorney for Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich said the governor will be vindicated and he has no plans to resign.
“He didn’t do anything wrong,” attorney Sheldon Sorosky told reporters after Blagojevich was arraigned. “A lot of this is just politics.”
Blagojevich should be in the office Wednesday, Sorosky added.
So, reporters asked, he does not intend to resign?
“Not that I know of, no,” said Sorosky, who added that the governor was “surprised” by the day’s events.
So this narcissitic corrupt bastard is going to drag us all along on one final ego trip. With this news, hopefully the Illinois State Legislature will do the right thing and impeach and convict. Hey 90’s Republicans, this is what impeachment is for. This is a high crime and misdemeanor. This is malfeasance in office.
