Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who once mused about dream jobs in secret recordings used during his corruption trial, now is looking for work after his release from prison.
CHICAGO — Job wanted: Ex-governor and ex-con with strong speaking skills and good hair seeking employment.from President Donald Trump, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is in the hunt for a post-prison career.“I need to start working and providing for my family,” the 63-year-old told Fox News this week. He didn’t elaborate on the kind of job he is seeking.His expletive-laden talk captured on FBI wiretaps about landing a job or campaign cash for naming someone to Barack Obama’s vacated U.S.
Blagojevich himself mused about dream jobs in the secret recordings of his phone that played central roles at his two corruption trials. The Chicago Democrat heaped praise on the Republican president as he addressed reporters outside his home Wednesday, a day after his release from a federal prison in Colorado. Blagojevich went so far as to say he’d vote for Trump,A: At trial, prosecutors highlighted Blagojevich’s extravagant tastes. They said he and his wife, Patti, spent more than $400,000 on clothes that included tailored suits and furs. On a single day, he even shelled out $1,300 on ties.
Agents arrested then-Gov. Blagojevich after wiretaps recorded him gushing about using his power to appoint someone to the Senate seat to land a well-pay job or campaign cash, saying the leverage it provided was ” f------ golden.” Blagojevich, who got his law degree from Pepperdine University in 1983, can probably cross lawyer off the prospective jobs list.
