I may be the only person in this country outside of the Blagojevich family to say this, but I think the impeachment was a travesty.

I think he probably broke the law. I expect that he will either end up convicted of a federal offense either through a plea bargain or a conviction via a jury trial. I also think he was absolutely correct in saying that the rules under which the Illinois senate impeached him were patently unfair. This was a show trial where conviction and removal from office were the only possible outcomes.

I wouldn’t want to be tried for anything under those rules.
