Blagojevich Refuses To Resign
That’s right. Despite being arrested, and despite the mountain of federal evidence against him apparently including recordings of Blago saying he wants to “make money” of this Senate appointment, the man isn’t stepping down.
“He didn’t do anything wrong,” attorney Sheldon Sorosky told reporters after Blagojevich was arraigned. “A lot of this is just politics.”
Blagojevich should be in the office Wednesday, Sorosky added.
So, reporters asked, he does not intend to resign?
“Not that I know of, no,” said Sorosky, who added that the governor was “surprised” by the day’s events.
Innocent until proven guilty, I guess.
Has there ever been a federal appointment made by someone in prison before?
