Hey ABC. You should have at least done some research on the nature of the "crimes" these individuals commited. I read an article in the Chicago Tribune, and it looks like many of them are sympathetic convicts, such as people who have been cleared through DNA evidence, but whose convictions prevent them from leading normal lives.

Blago is 100% perfect for stay!!!????
but his wife need jobs and high paid!!!???

His making under cover friends quickly!!!!

What a hoot!--- This guy is a friggin' nut and no one has the ability to keeep him under control! How inefective our government is----What a friggin' joke!

I admire Blago's ability to persevere during adversity...the sign of a true leader.

Does anybody truly believe this guy is capable of saying or doing ANYTHING without putting his own self-interest first? He's delusional AND pathetic if he thinks we're this stupid.

it occurs to me that he may just pardon everyone so his approval rating improves.

Blago is my hero. He is the pure representation of our country: Corrupt and incompetent. The US is doomed to fail like a modern version of Rome.

LMAO, Obamie will be forced to tell Rahm emanual to step aside after he has been exposed as talking directly to Blago, Abc silent of course...the networks will again be the laughing stock of America when Obamas Team goes down for scandals...Will Bill Richardson be next ?

He'll fight this until his term is done and then just decide to not run for re-election.

Regardless, the Feds don't move until they are sure--he'll go to prison; it's just a question of how long it'll take.

I think, he thinks he is the "King" because he wears his hair like Elvis Presley, and nobody would ever doubt the King.

If I were the Governor I'd give a blanket pardon to ALL prisoners as my last act. At least there wouldn't be over crowding in prison.

Americans deserve this man. Within one month, the media will cease reporting on him and Americans will have forgotten all of his corruption. Mark my word, there is a revolution brewing.

The Illinois state Attorney General
and the U.S. Attorney are a disgrace
to the legal profession from which
they should be permanently expelled.

Both should get prison time for
defaming the governor's character.

This guy is a nutcase and a half. He thinks if he pardons some convicts that people will think he's a great guy? I'm glad I don't live in Illinois... He's starting to make me appreciate ol' Mitch Daniels and I didn't think that was possible. Wait Mitch sold our toll road to foreigners so I guess it's almost the same thing.

The U.S. Attorney does not
understand basic criminal law.
He's a pompous ignoramus.

There is no case against the
governor.

Did anyone ever hear of innocent until proven guilty, in a court of law, not by the media or rumors. He has every right to remain on the job until the charges are proven and he is found guilty by a jury.

Tony Smith's comment deserves an echo. Now these 22 people are weirdly linked to Blagojevich corruption forever in the inerasable memory of Google, even though they merely had the misfortune to live in Illinois while this guy was governor. It seems like a catchy story hook but it's a bit intellectually dishonest, ultimately---casting aspersions on pardons that any governor acting on parole board recommendations, would issue.

Typical Democrat Governor.

The state of Illinois cannot and will not force Blago out because he knows too much about Obama and his cronies and fear that he will name names. At this point, the state of Illinois and the democratic party will not expose what the president-elect knows. Blago will stay in office and will continue to represent what is wrong with the political system in Illinois. Blago wins.
