A disgusted US attorney just said he considers Illinois to be the most corrupt state in America.
US attorney Patrick Fitzgerald said the Governor is heard on federal wiretaps trying to sell Barack Obama’s Senate seat like he was a “sports agent”!
Gov. Blagojevich was heard on tape saying, “we can’t just give [Obama]’s seat away.”
Fitzgerald said the scope and breadth of the political corruption was “Staggering”. Fitzgerald said Gov. Blagojevich threatened the Chicago Tribune for writing critical articles about the ongoing investigation.
The Tribune allegedly went to the US attorney to complain the paper was being extorted by the governor’s office! Gov. Blagojevich threatened to fire the paper’s editors!
