Illinois Democratic Machine
The legacy of ex-governor, Rod Blagojevich, continues to haunt current Senator Burris (D-IL). State legislators are calling for Burris’s resignation and an investigation into perjury before an Illinois house committee. When questioned in January, Burris said he did not directly or indirectly talk to Blagojevich about the Senate seat. All he would admit is: “I talked to some friends about my desire to be appointed, yes.”
It turns out that Burris met with Blagojevich’s brother, Robert, and was asked to raise $10,000 to $15,000 for the governor. After this meeting, Senator Burris reached out to friends to raise the funds for the impeached governor.
Illinois has a long history of Democrat political corruption. We now have the previous occupant of Burris’s Senate seat as president, Rod Blagojevich as the impeached previous governor, and Burris as a potential perjuror. Where will it end? Might there be an Obama connection that has not been disclosed?
We need a full, independent investigation of the entire political establishment in Illinois. If President Obama is above all the corruption, he is the first one who should be calling for the investigation. What do you think?
