Gov. Charged With Threatening Paper Over Editorial Board Day After Advising Change in Editorial Policy

"And I have a polite recommendation to him [Chicago Tribune owner Sam Zell]. One thing he may want to do is change that editorial policy, change that editorial board, and put some people in there that actually care about the average, ordinary working person," Illinois Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich said Monday. He was charged Tuesday with illegally threatening to withhold state assistance to Tribune Co., the owner of the Chicago Tribune, in the sale of Wrigley Field, according to the federal criminal complaint. In return for state assistance, Blagojevich allegedly wanted members of the paper's editorial board who had been critical of him fired.

NEW SOCIALIST/COMMUNISTIC DEMOCRATIC DEFINITION OF CHANGE: SAME OL’ SAME OL’
=================

This guy is the head…but he doesn’t run this machine on his own…others need to be implicated and prosecuted also.

It has been said in the past (and I lived in the region) that Chicago is run by the mob. Even went so far as to say they owned President Kennedy and got him elected. The rumors also said that they had something to do with his assassination.

But this Governor got to that office in Illinois with help…as did all politicians in Illinois…if you know what I mean.

Corrruption breeds corruption…payback time has come for some!
==================

JUST ANOTHER CHAPTER OF THE “REIGN OF BARRY HUSSEIN”! – And His Friends!

“”Bail was set at $4,500, and Blagojevich was released on his own recognizance.”"

Ok, FEDERAL Corruption Charges and these are the terms of his release?

So let me ask you Citizens, do you in your wildest dreams think you could get this kind of deal? The answer would be(wait for it…) NO!

Phone calls were made to certain people by certain people.

More Chicago corruption.

Thank You.
