His problem was that he was a big fish in a small pond (governor of Illinois), and he became the fall guy for the small fish who was moving up to the big pond (Obama).
Based on what we know now about Obama's truthfulness, I have no doubt that Blagojevich was the bagman for Obama, each to get their cut of the take. When the whole thing blew open, the big fish in the big pond were not going to let Obama go down, so it was Blago who took the fall, with Jesse Jackson, Jr. as collateral damage.

Actually (and you got around to it) Blago was small fry as was Rezko. They were tools.
There was a plan for Obama and obviously some big fish behind it. That’s why this obvious fraud was basically untouched.
They were just useful idiots, tossed aside for expediency’s sake, for the coronation and “official story / narrative” for the Kenyan.
They might as well talk. Because the mere CHANCE that they MIGHT TALK is enough for “the accidents” to happen.
