Blagojevich arrested on federal charges
- Chicagobreakingnews.comGov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff, John Harris, were arrested today by FBI agents for what U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald called a "staggering" level of corruption involving pay-to-play politics in Illinois' top office.
Blagojevich is accused of a wide-ranging criminal conspiracy, including alleged attempts by the governor to try to sell or trade the U.S. Senate seat left vacant by President-elect Barack Obama in exchange for financial benefits for the governor and his wife. Blagojevich also is accused of obtaining campaign contributions in exchange for other official actions.

Christmas comes early! After living in Chicago for more than 8 years, it is not suprising to find out when they are dirty, 44 has to be one of the cleanest to have made it out of there since Abe. GOP/DEM...they are all crooked as Capone but it doesn't get sweeter than this. Blago, who knew he was under investigation, was thicker than Gary Hart. I am just glad this means that JJJ, no not Jay Jonah Jameson, won't get the post.
Scandal Meter:
44 - 5 of 10 | Though he's not directly involved, 44's chief of staff took the concressional seat of the governor, and it's his senate seat...there's going to be a link.
Chicago Dems : 2 of 10 | Come on, this is nothing in their slime pit
