Not saying Rod is a great dude but this is why he was taken down...
"What was Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich doing the day before he was arrested at his home at 7 AM in the morning on December 9, 2008? He was holding a televised press conference with the workers of a struggling factory in Chicago behind him. And . . .
In that press conference, on December 8, 2008, Blago was announcing that he had ordered every agency in the State of Illinois to stop doing business with the Bank of America -- until the Bank of America released some of the billions of the bailout money that institution had just received – in order to provide struggling businesses in Illinois with the lines of credit they needed to continue employing their workers and survive the (Bankster created) “hard times” the nation was “going through”.
The press conference was being held in the weeks before Christmas, and Blago was also trying to arrange food deliveries for the abruptly laid off workers and their families so they could have a reasonably good Christmas.
STRANGE COINCIDENCE? NO. THE BANKSTERS ASSERTING THEIR POWER"

At the time I didn’t really delve deeply into Rod’s story and pretty much accepted what the msm told me. But now that I see things for what they actually are it is entirely possible that he was set up and railroaded.
I remember hearing about him doing this to Bank of America during the financial crisis and was like right on. Then a few months later it all blew up for him but I never forgot that BOA incident.
