Pottymouth Blogojevich Indicted

Well, enjoy your vacation, Pottymouth, because your will be joining the dreg of society—the murderers and rapists and the abusive fraud-conspiring scum such as yourself—in jail soon, where you and your aides deservedly belong.

From cbs2Chicagom.com:

Blagojevich, 52, was indicted on 16 felony counts, including racketeering conspiracy, wire fraud, extortion conspiracy, attempted extortion and making false statements to federal agents.

He allegedly abused his office in numerous matters to seek money, campaign contributions, and employment for himself and others, in exchange for official actions, including trying to leverage his authority to appoint a United States senator, U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald said in a statement.

Blagojevich is accused of plotting to trade or sell President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat and a host of other crimes. Among the others are an alleged threat to withhold state help in the Tribune Company’s attempt to sell Wrigley Field if certain editorial writers weren’t fired, and an alleged attempt to shake down Children’s Memorial Hospital.

There were several new allegations, including:

That Blagojevich, Monk, Kelly and previously convicted Blagojevich associate Tony Rezko agreed to use the governor’s office for financial gain and would spilt the proceeds after Blagojevich left office. They agreed to a scheme in which they would split fees after directing state pension business to a certain company whose lobbyists agreed to pay Rezko for the business. Rezko then agreed to split the fees with the group; and

That Blagojevich lied to FBI agents when he said that he never mixed politics with state business nor did he track campaign contributions.

His wife Patti has not been indicted—yet.
