U.S.: Blagojevich: You should’ve let me bring up my witnesses

  • Rod Blagojevich • Illinois governor, in remarks at his impeachment trial today. Blagojevich claims that he was unable to bring his own witnesses to the trial, which was why he initially boycotted the proceedings.

U.S.: Rod Impeachojevich, Illinois Governor

  • They’re looking into throwing the bum out Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich could get impeached based on a recommendation by a legislative committee. The committee cited gross misuse of power, specifically in regards to allegations he tried to make Obama’s former senate seat a pay-for-play endeavor. If the Illinois state legislature takes the recommendation, they’d try him in the state senate and possibly remove him. We never trusted guys named Blagojevich. source
