Been waiting for this one for awhile. I hope they nail him. How embarassing.
I guess it isn't a good idea to win the govenor's race in Ill. A high percentage end up in jail. Of course it usually happens after they leave office. Rod has taken it to a new level and gets nabbed before his term ends.
Hopefully it's all over now.
CHICAGO (AP) — Authorities in Chicago have arrested Ill. Gov. Rod Blagojevich on federal charges.
U.S. Attorney's office spokesman Randall Samborn says both Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris were arrested Tuesday. Authorities aren't yet releasing details about those charges.
Federal prosecutors have investigated Blagojevich's administration for at least three years. They've been looking at everything from how he hired people for state jobs to the actions of friends and contributors.
Blagojevich fundraiser Tony Rezko awaits sentencing on a federal corruption conviction in which he was charged with shaking down businesses wanting to do state work for campaign contributions.
The governor has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing.
