Exclusive — Blagojevich: ‘The Democrat Political Establishment Very Fearful of What I Know and What I Can Say’
Breitbart ^ | 12/03/2021 | Katherine Hamilton

Posted on 12/04/2021 6:11:21 AM PST by ChicagoConservative27

Ex-Democrat Illinois governor turned “Trumpocrat” Rod Blagojevich said he believes current Gov. J.B. Pritzker tried to keep him in jail because the Democrat establishment is “afraid of what he knows” and “what [he] will say soon.”

In a video obtained exclusively by Breitbart News, Blagojevich, who was Illinois governor from 2003 to 2009, can be heard talking about his relationship with the current governor, some of the events leading up to his time in federal prison, and his standing with the party he left behind.

I spoke with the former governor the beginning of November at a event for a local conservative radio station. Blago is a Trump guy now and he spoke for about 40 minutes about how he could bring the whole rotten state of Illinois down if he felt like it.

He could bring the political establishment in Illinois down if he felt like it? That’s is why they call them cons. If true, he wouldn’t be breathing long. Look what happened to Epstein.

What’s he waiting for? Book deal or payout? Considering the last time he looked for a payout he got sent to jail, he better be working on that book.

In Georgia, they had video evidence of suitcases stuffed full of cheat-by-mail-in ballots being brought out from under the tables in the middle of the night after the Republicans were kicked out due to a "bursting pipe."

A year later, absolutely nothing has been done about it.

When I read the headline I thought the next line would be: “and I bought this swell white shirt that has a big red circle on the back...”

...he could bring the whole rotten state of Illinois down if he felt like it.

Then do it. Otherwise shut up or explain why he wants to leave the whole rotten state of Illinois up and running as is.

“If true, he wouldn’t be breathing long. Look what happened to Epstein.”

So, are you saying that we should start working now on the “Blago didn’t kill himself.” memes? /sarc

Never seems to be any mention around here or these articles of how all these people were on the Apprentice.

Back then, Blago was closer to his scandal, yet there he was invited on the show.

And, he seems to be basically a moron.

Sounds like yet another “free beer tomorrow” situation.

Him talking like this is like an invite to be suicided.

It's easy to see how he might have a secret or two...or maybe more. It wouldn't be hard for him to get some coverage...but certainly not in the Amazon Compost or on MSLSD.

So, say something important. It's all pimp and BS peacock strutting otherwise.

The morning after the 2020 election Blagojevich was out telling people calmly what was happening at that moment. Chicago style manufacturing of votes. That Dems have to wait to find out what numbers are needed to overcome the count. That this is how the Chicago machine works and he's seen it his entire career.

Exactly. Put your money where your mouth is and do something that might help the people for once.

If what Blagojevic claims were true, he would not be alive.

In my experience, those who brag about being able to bring down corrupt people and organizations rarely get around to actually doing so and seldom deliver the goods if they do talk. If Blago is serious, he needs to lay his cards on the table.
