Blagojovech guilty!

Read Time:21 Second

A Chicago jury found former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich guilty on 1 count of racketeering, i.e. in this case lying to federal investigators.  They were deadlocked on the remaining counts. Sentencing will take place at some point in the future should the government not elect to try him again.

Blago is a slimeball MadMike. I’ve met him in person.

Hang, draw and quarter him, but don’t kill him, I’m against capital punishment.

So is racketeering the same as lying to the FBI because that is what it looks like, from a couple other places I have seen this reported?

I have no idea what racketeering is, other than watching old gangster movies about the mob so I wanted to ask to make sure. Thanks for the clarification.

Bam, zing. He’s very lucky that is all he is being sentenced for. I would say the defense team kicked ass for him.
