Things aren't looking to good for this man.
Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges.
A three-year federal corruption investigation of pay-to-play politics in Gov. Rod Blagojevich's administration has expanded to include his impending selection of a new U.S. senator to succeed President-elect Barack Obama, the Tribune has learned.
This story is still coming out so for more details you can check here.
UPDATE: It seems that the governor has also been charged with attempting to sell the Senate seat formerly occupied by President Elect Obama. Does Blagojevich have no limits on corruption?
Blagojevich was also accused of threatening to withhold state assistance to the Tribune Company in connection with the sale of the Chicago Cubs' baseball home, Wrigley Field, in order "to induce the firing of Chicago Tribune editorial board members sharply critical" of him.
The 51-year-old Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were charged in a federal complaint with conspiracy to commit mail and wire fraud and solicitation of bribery.
This arrest has been at least 3 years in the making and it is about fucking time that this creep got nailed for his criminal activity. One bad Democrat down, so let's find a better one to replace him with.
