Our governor has so far managed to hide his problems. Things are a little more public, and shall we say, “earthy”, in Illinois:
Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich arrested
Gov. Rod Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris were arrested today by FBI agents on federal corruption charges.…Updated at 8:57 a.m.: On the issue of the U.S. Senate selection, federal prosecutors alleged Blagojevich sought appointment as Secretary of Health and Human Services in the new Obama administration, or a lucrative job with a union in exchange for appointing a union-preferred candidate…
So much for subtlety…
Was Ryan arrested and taken into custody while he was governor? Or is this a first?
Talk about stupid. Seriously stupid.
to solicit corrupt deals is not a good idea.
at Kos:
you mean that he hasn’t been arrested yet.
Matt Blunt’s a Republican, and the US Attorneys were Republicans.
Also, Patrick Fitzgerald, by most accounts, is very good and serious at his job. In other words, he wasn’t a close political ally of officials like a certain soon-to-be former US Attorney from the Eastern District.
My date in the “Matt Blunt indictment” pool is May 21st, 2009. Just a hunch.
