No Evidence Jobs, Influence Actually ‘Sold’ In a stunning reversal, prosecutors have agreed to drop some of the most serious charges facing embattled Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich - namely charges involving “violation of the public trust”.
“By their own admission, the FBI arrested our client prior to the completion of their investigation,’ a defense team member told reporters. “Had they not acted prematurely, they would have found that Governor Blagojevich never had any intention of following through on promises he made in his efforts to extort money from other greedy bastards such as himself. Had they followed procedure, certain charges would never have been brought.”
“Don’t get me wrong,’ the attorney continued, “We have no doubt that law enforcement personnel involved in this case acted with the best of intentions, particularly with regard to the public interest. Let’s face it, this guy is a real piece of s**t.”
“That is correct,” confirmed undercover Special Agent Meldrick Purvis, speaking on condition of anonymity. “Normal procedure dictates that your first priority, always, is to cover The Bureau’s ass. Then you protect the public. But once in a while we come across individuals who are so appalling in their nature that some agents ‘throw caution to the wind’ in their exuberance to separate these slugs from society. And maybe it is better to have some charges dropped than to allow unscrupulous predators to continue roaming the halls of government. All I can say is: thank God for that alert Ebay customer service rep who brought the Governor’s activities to our attention. Let’s face it, this guy is a real piece of s**t.”
