Embattled former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D) joined Fox News Sunday to discuss his recent trial, where he was convicted on only one of the 24 charges brought against him. The former governor also speculated on a potential political comeback. When asked whether a political comeback could possibly be in his future, Governor Blagojevich said, If you're asking me do I believe there's a potential political comeback in the future when I'm vindicated in this case, absolutely I do. Federal prosecutors plan to retry the case to which Governor Blagojevich tipped his hat on what a retrial might bring. He said, I'm ready for round two. In the second round, we're going to put a defense on, I'm certain. And in that particular case, you know, we're going to call witnesses like Rahm Emanuel, Senator Harry Reid, Senator Menendez, Congressman Jackson, Congressman Costello, and a host of other leading Democrats who were involved in this process. However, when pressed on calling such high profile witnesses, the governor would not openly pledge to do so. The most significant charge brought against Blagojevich was whether he sought to sell the Senate seat of then President-elect Barack Obama. When confronted with some of his past statements, about which cabinet or government position he might be willing to accept in exchange for a Senate appointment, the governor answered, These are conversations that I had with lawyers and staffers, brainstorming, exploring ideas I'm joking around in some of those conversations. Throughout the interview, Governor Blagojevich continually noted that what he did was nothing more than politics as usual. He also mentioned some high profile political names, who were working with him at the time. When asked by anchor Chris Wallace whether his own ethics were any different from those of White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel or Democratic Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, the former governor answered, I'm saying that -- yes, that -- yes, it's the same. It's political horse-trading that these prosecutors are trying to criminalize, and they weren't able to do it without us putting on a defense. Blagojevich continued by saying, Rahm Emanuel on the day before my arrest was going to be the guy to make that deal happen. I spoke to Harry Reid about this and Menendez. I spoke to them on the telephone about these things. They were willing to help. And it was about to happen. Time and again, Governor Blagojevich pointed his finger at federal prosecutors. The governor summed up his case by saying that he was the victim of government sponsored persecution. They can twist things and take things out of context and play less than 2 percent of the tapes. The government can go and do everything it can to prevent the evidence they created from being heard.
