The indictment against Rod Blagojevich will reportedly be filed later today. Though federal prosecutors have until Tuesday  to produce an indictment regarding a “significant criminal matter,” they say it will be done today.

Though U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald has not flatly said that the high-profile indictment to be filed today is Blagojevich’s, Chicagoans have widely accepted confirmation from other sources.

Blago’s whereabouts

As federal attorneys plan to file the indictment against the former governor, Blagojevich possibly was riding Space Mountain or eating a $10 hot dog. Blagojevich reportedly is at Disney World now with his family. With all of the fines that he will undoubtedly have to pay, I hope he funded his trip with payday loans.

The pending charges

Blagojevich officially is being charged with political corruption. Prosecutors say that he tried to sell or trade the Illinois Senate seat left vacant when Barack Obama won the presidency.

“An affidavit accompanying the complaint accuses Blagojevich of trying to squeeze companies for campaign money and pressure the Chicago Tribune to fire editorial writers calling for his impeachment.” – From the Associated Press.

Unemployed

Blagojevich has already been impeached from office, and his post has been taken over by Pat Quinn. Blagojevich was impeached Jan. 9 and convicted Jan. 29 by the Senate. He already has had one lawyer quit on him.

Interestingly enough, the man who held the Illinois governor office just before Blagojevich, George Ryan, was convicted of racketeering as he left office and is still in prison.

“I didn’t do it”

You might want to make room on your bookshelf for Blago's next masterpiece.

Blagojevich, from day one, has insisted he is innocent of any wrongdoing. In fact, after his Senate conviction in January he went on a talk-show tour of sorts to proclaim his innocence. He appeared on “The Today Show,” “Good Morning America” and “The View.”

The Huffington Post reports that Blagojevich is now writing a book.
