The Daily Background
| Yeesh, Blagojevich was worse than anybody ever expected
by Arlen Parsa
Sorry it’s been tough to post lately, the International Olympics Committee is in town this week and early next week, for their evaluation of Chicago for the 2016 summer games… Which means I’ve been running around (sometimes literally) to get footage of all the events that are going on for this documentary I’m working on (more about that later).
… How ’bout that Blagojevich, though? The indictment that was formally secured against him yesterday was far, far, more extensive than previously imagined (it goes way beyond Obama’s senate seat), and even includes allegations that he tried to hit up Rahm Emanuel– now Obama’s chief of staff but at the time a Congressman from Chicago’s north side– for donations in exchange for helping out a school in his district.
Presumption of innocence.
Lovely constitution, would hate to ruin it ….
