Kudos to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald for another successful conviction of a corrupt Illinois governor!
@SenatorKirk
Blagojevich says he’s “unbelievably sorry.” He’s probably right. He’s not believable. My only concern with the Blago verdict? It will make people think Illinois corruption is now over.
@ScottMonty
14 yrs is excessive. Ppl get less for violent crimes.
@Doza_said
The judge let Blago have it. The saddest part is his kids will suffer due to his greed!
@sdouyon
Blago is a former lawyer, a former prosecutor, not some greasy rube who doesn’t know the law. He knew what he was doing all along.
@johnedugan
I’m all for Blago going to prison but how one gets 2 years for killing someone and 14 years for corruption just doesn’t make sense to me.
@KrishelleMH
Another Illinois governor sentenced to jail time. In an equally shocking turn, it’s Wednesday.
@zaconbothsides
Unfair sentence. Complete mockery!
@Kdonahu2
In other news, the Illinois Senate will be in session on Tuesday.
