Former Illinois governor, Rod Blagojevich, reported turned to his defense attorney after jurors in his corruption trial returned seventeen guilty verdicts and asked, "What happened?" I don't know what the defense attorney said in reply, but here's what happened.
The governor tried to bribe his way into the Illinois U.S. Senate seat vacated when Barack Obama became President of the United States. Then, the governor got caught and lied about his activities to the F.B.I. and tried to obstruct the government investigation into what he'd done. Finally, after 2 years of the public having to tolerate his idiotic boasting and professions of innocence, a jury of his peers (12 to be exact) said they'd had enough of his BS and found him guilty as charged. Prison is the next stop. That's what happened.
Justice was done...and not a moment too soon.
