On Monday, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who remains a loyal and respected ally within President Donald Trump’s orbit – posted a statement on X urging the President-elect to sue Gov. JB Pritzker for defamation after the Democratic governor repeatedly referred to Trump as an “adjudicated rapist.”
Last Friday, ABC News agreed to a multi-million dollar settlement and agreed to contribute $15 million to President Trump’s presidential foundation and museum to settle a defamation lawsuit filed by Trump and his legal team against the network.
Seizing on the opportunity – and continuing a more than 5-year feud with Pritzker, Blagojevich went on social media, writing, “Now that Trump successfully won his defamation case against ABC for calling him a ‘rapist,’ when will he sue Illinois Governor J.B. Pritzker for repeatedly lying & calling him the same thing?”

Trump took out bank loans and paid back those loans, with interest. For that heinous crime, he had to pay a fine of over $400M.
People who defame him and improperly call him a rapist out to be paying a lot more than a mere $15M.
Blags wants back in. It starts with his pardon. The next step is to become a republican like a leopard changing it’s spots. Durban is up in ‘26 and he’s old. I’d like to see Durban do a Biden and say he’s in it to win.
His interview with Tucker Carlson a couple months ago was interesting. He had very negative things to say about the DOJ prosecutors, but I felt Blagojevich held back against Obama and others in IL politics. He never said exactly who wanted to put him in jail and what their real motivations were.
But he's still very sharp, and very much has a chip on his shoulder.
I’m working on a defamation case right now doing the investigation work. It involves both libel and slander against a professional. What makes it easy is that the slander was in a meeting that was recorded.
In today’s environment of zoom meetings with most being recorded, the work is done for you.
A Karen made false accusations of financial and bank fraud against a licensed financial professional in a recorded Board meeting . I already checked, the Karen has plenty of available assets to lose.
The accusations are substantial, were professionally damaging, and were blatantly false. It’s also easy to prove malice, although that is not required. It justifies higher damages.

It’s nice to have friends that serve as your targeting computer.
That man is the slimiest of slimy.
It’s well past time the leftists were actually held accountable for their actions.
It should be one hundred million each.
I always felt kind of badly for Rod, as he was in the Fed prison across from one of my rental condos, out there in the yard forced to play basketball with Jerod the Subway pedo. 😜
