|
Date: October 30th, 2024 10:54 PM Author: appetizing bearded dragon The main reason I think he's guilty is that the people on the phone he was asking for monetary favors from were clearly uncomfortable and even hung up on him.
As much of a piece of shit as Pritzker is, this dude shut down everything Blago was saying. Also saying things like "how does this benefit me when I'm not governor anymore" did not make him sympathetic. He definitely was acting like he'd won a lotto ticket.
Also the feds were investigating him way before the Obama Senate seat thing went down. Look up Operation Board Games. The FBI thought this dude was corrupt as hell from day 1. I've never even heard him address this bit.
I think he was like Nixon in that he was just compulsive in crossing the line into corruption. |
|
Date: October 30th, 2024 10:57 PM Author: wine deer antler but when did he sell the seat? he is talking like he was asking for PAC donations and that's legal. they couldn't get him on the stuff before obama apparently |
|
Date: October 30th, 2024 11:04 PM Author: appetizing bearded dragon >PACs didn't exist back then
>the Senate seat charge was dropped iirc
>I listened to all the tapes recently and he had intermediaries reach out and ask people directly for campaign donations in a quid pro quo to be nominated for high positions (State AG, US Senate and so forth
>Blago's defense was that he was horse trading to get legislation passed but there's no evidence of this
>just because you go through your brother to ask someone for a donation doesn't make it illegal
>the entire reason the feds had all these tapes recorded is that Blago and an associate were trying to rig some public institutions to sell some land and get kickbacks. They never were able to prove this but the wire tapping led to the corruption charges.
This all started way before Obama. |

Date: October 30th, 2024 11:08 PM Author: wine deer antler thanks friend. so it comes down to blago asking for campaign donations in exchange for nominations to positions, and that's illegal? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5621433&forum_id=2#48261374) |
|
Date: October 30th, 2024 11:12 PM Author: appetizing bearded dragon I'm not sure. He and his brother just rung people up and begged for money and whined that they had no way to get rich after politics. And the people on the other end of the phone were like this is messed up I don't want to be associated with this and hung up. It's not a good look.

|
Date: October 30th, 2024 11:19 PM Author: appetizing bearded dragon He almost certainly was corrupt from day 1 and deserved to go down.
He's also a generationally charismatic dude who has a lot of redeeming qualities and in the spirit of forgiveness should be allowed to move forward in his life.
The two are no mutually exclusive. |

|
Date: October 31st, 2024 3:06 PM Author: Brindle area feces Cr although I'd say it's not just about moving forward in his life, I think his political gifts are such that he recognizes the rot within the Democratic party and the potential for Republicans to realign as the majority party nationally.
And also the more people pointing out that the FBI and prosecutors are total scum, the better. |
|
Date: October 31st, 2024 3:09 PM Author: appetizing bearded dragon Agreed but they were literally right when they investigated him and it's hilarious that he said he understood how much scrutiny was on him and had his personal lawyer on the line during all these sealed calls and STILL begged the likes of fatass Pritzker for money. He was compulsive. A genuine crook. You can't just skim over that. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5621433&forum_id=2#48264150) |

|
Date: October 30th, 2024 10:50 PM Author: appetizing bearded dragon The whole part about Obama and Axelrod reads like a thriller.
Blago needs to hie to Hollywood and start writing and directing. He's probably the most elite storyteller I've ever seen rise to this level in politics. He's Sorkin/Mamet tier. Imagine the dialog he could write. He's wasting his time as a pol get out the pen and churn out some intrigue because I'm on the edge of my seat! |

Date: October 31st, 2024 3:02 PM Author: Brindle area feces Worth watching the whole thing. Blagojevich was a money grubbing bro but he's also incredibly talented and astute politically. A lot of this episode is him grinding axes against Obama et al, but he's quite compelling about the state of the Democratic party and the disgusting deep state.

He didn't play nice with other Dems and was always stunting on them, he was mad jealous of Obama, and he wanted to make a lot of $$$, so he was an easy target.
