Blagojevich Will Make His Closing Statement Today
Governor Rod Blagojevich of Illinois is right now making his closing statement in his impeachment trial. According to reports his statement will be an hour and a half long. He wants to bring in witnesses and have his day in court. He is allowed to say what he wants and no one can ask him any questions. This is the only day that he has attended in his impeachment trial. He keeps talking about all these good things that he has done. He has been on a press tour for the last few weeks. Geraldo Rivera is even defending the man now.I do not think that Blagojevich was ever trying to help the people of Illinois, only himself. He is calling on a few senators to be witnesses for him but I doubt they would actually attend, and Patrick Fitzgerald would not let anyone be called. What do you think about the impeachment trial of the governor?
Personally, if you study Blagojevich’s past, you will see that as a child he had to help his parents pay their bills by being a shoe shine boy. then he was a pizza delivery boy and when he was in college he was a dishwasher.
It is definitely incorrect to remove him from office before his criminal trial.
I persoanlly believe that he’s a street fighter with a bad mouth and a shitty haircut. But those are not impeachable offenses.
Is he telling the truth? yes. He’s a shrewd politician, non different from others. After Obama got into the US Senat, his wife’s salary went up from 199K to 300K. How is that not the same payoff?
The legislators want him out of the way because he was doing too much for the people.
I personally would vote for him for President.
