Blagojevich

Mr. Blagojevich, who is facing the state’s first impeachment trial of a governor and, eventually, federal corruption charges, managed to upstage it all, proclaiming his innocence, blaming politics for his problems, and denouncing the impeachment rules as unfair in appearances on “Good Morning America,” “The View” and beyond.

“When the whole story comes out, you’ll see that the effort was to work to have a senator who can best represent Illinois and one that can help us create jobs and provide health care,” Mr. Blagojevich told Diane Sawyer on “Good Morning America.”
Mr. Blagojevich, 52 and in his second term, had clearly given up whatever hopes he had of persuading the State Senate not to remove him, legal and political analysts said, and was looking ahead to tell his own story to potential jurors in federal court.
In the Capitol, in the absence of the subject of their inquiry, senators pressed on soberly. Some said their task was grim but necessary, because state business has slowed to a halt in the wake of Mr. Blagojevich’s troubles.

In an opening statement, a House prosecutor said Mr. Blagojevich had tried to trade the United States Senate seat vacated by President Obama for a lucrative job or cash, to secure campaign money in return for state contracts and jobs, and to ignore laws and state legislators in enacting policies on prescription drugs, health care and flu vaccines.
“At a time when Illinois was celebrating one of its own, this chamber’s own, to the highest office in the land, the governor was finding a way to try to personally benefit,” said David Ellis, the House prosecutor. Phone calls intercepted by the federal authorities with the governor’s own words, Mr. Ellis promised, will show that he “put his office up for sale.”
