Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says his words on FBI wiretap tapes have been taken out of context and will vindicate him when played in their entirety, but he still worries about the possibility of going to prison.
Ousted Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich says his words on FBI wiretap tapes have been taken out of context and will vindicate him when played in their entirety, but he still worries about the possibility of going to prison. In a telephone interview with The Associated Press on Tuesday, Blagojevich said he starts thinking about such things "in the wee hours, in the witching hour." He adds: "I’m only human." Blagojevich is in New York to promote his new book, "The Governor," which hits shelves Tuesday. He started the day with an appearance on NBC’s "Today" show, followed by more interviews. Prosecutors cite the FBI tapes in alleging that Blagojevich tried to sell or trade President Barack Obama’s former U.S. Senate seat. ______ Copyright 2009 Associated Press. All rights reserved.
