Former Illinois Democrat Governor and convicted felon Rod Blagojevich claimed that a lawsuit he filed Monday would vacate his corruption conviction and open the door to run for office again.
Blagojevich was removed from office in 2009 after being prosecuted on corruption charges for attempting to sell the U.S. Senate seat that was then being vacated by Barack Obama who resigned after winning the presidency.

Could be a thorn in their side? I welcome it..
Blago’s sentence was commuted, not pardoned.
Looks like he is tilting with windmills.
Lot of ‘ifs’ in this story. Timing-wise? 2022 is another Illinois senate race...Duckworth is back up. Would be interesting to have a primary situation between Blago and Duckworth.
Blago is an example of why the RATs march in lockstep with their jackboots. Get out of line and you end up like he did...or worse.
Go Blago, go.
“Disgraced” ?
Hardly. He’s a democrat.
democrats have no shame.
If I remember correctly Blagojevich was brought down and went to prison for asking for $50,000 to appoint a certain individual to an open Senate seat.
Compare that to what the MF’s in Washington are getting away with today.
Rod Blagojevich did not kill himself next month...................
Also never forget that “Blago” was quick to throw insurance companys, and politicians under the bus. Specifically countrywide for screwing working class people. “Blago” was teeing up a fight with major lending institutions, that is why the deep state pulled his cord. For anyone who doesn’t know Chicago politics IS crime and corruption. Rod thought he was just conducting business as usual in Chit-Congo.
