Blagojevich Update

The Blagojevich trial is underway and, Alonzo Monk, former chief of staff for Blagojevich, and a friend of his testified that any money earned had plans to be placed in hard to find accounts and, that later this would be split amongst his inner circle. 

Blagojevich has pleaded not guilty to scheming to profit from his power to fill the U.S. Senate seat vacated by President Barack Obama and squeeze people for campaign contributions. If convicted, Blagojevich could receive up to 415 years in prison and fines totaling $6 million.

 This man is a work of art. It's amazing. He has just dug his heels in and he's not letting go.

Monk told the jury how Rezko, a real estate developer who is awaiting sentencing for fraud and other offenses, and Kelly, a roofing contractor, raised millions of dollars for Blagojevich's campaign fund and were rewarded with jobs and contracts for their friends.

Typical Chicago style politics. I guess we have to wait and see. Yes, I think he's guilty but, of course, everyone is entitled to their day in court. I can't wait for his defense. This ought to be interesting.
