Blagojevich Penalty Phase

[Schneibster]

Prosecutors responded in Monday’s court filing that Blagojevich “alternatively portrays himself as a visionary leader, personally responsible for securing passage of legislation that benefitted disadvantaged citizens, but also a merely ‘nominal’ leader who in truth was controlled by those who purportedly worked under his supervision.”

They continue: “These portrayals are inconsistent with one another and contradicted by the evidence and the jury’s verdicts and, more generally, make clear that Blagojevich accepts no responsibility whatsoever for his criminal conduct.”

Blago is a weapons grade dickhead. I just love this bit:

...he had no idea it was improper to seek high-paying jobs or millions of dollars in funding for a 501(c)(4) in exchange for naming a United States senator.

Honest Officer, I didn't know it was illegal! I swear on my kid's head! C'mon, be a pal, lemme go, huh? I'm SO embarrassed, ain't I suffered enough?

He had something too big to give away as a traded favor, ha.

He got 14 years in federal prison. He'll have to serve at least 85 percent of that, so 12 years minimum. Fucking justice for once! Lube up, Blago.
