Milorad was on the Today Show this morning to discuss his not being able to be on I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out of Here.’ Afterward he flew to LA to hype the show and hasn't ruled out being involved in some other capacity. Viera touches on his case and stops just short of asking him if he's in touch with reality.
Viera was extremely rude and dismissive. What does she know about the case? Has she been talking to Patrick Fitzgerald?
She doesn't even have the grace to treat her guest with respect. The venom and condescension leaks from her. It's sad how she cannot even keep her feelings to herself while she does her job. It's why folks think of the Today Show as nothing more that a visual talking tabloid.
Selected parts. NBC video doesn't embed - nothing in You Tube.
BLAGO:
But I'm not ruling that there may be a possibility to play a role in some capacity on this program....I guess the judge did save me from eating bugs.
VIERA:
A lot of people are wondering why a former governor would want to be on a show like this? Why would you want to be running around the jungles of Costa Rica?
BLAGO:
I have two little girls and we have a mortgage to pay. I'm obviously looking for a new line of work as I work through the process of proving my innocence, which I firmly assert is in face the case.
It seemed like an exciting opportunity. It was an idea that was presented to me - it's not an idea that I had.
And he idea of being in a jungle, toughening it out, and sort of creating a little civil society with other people, and seeing how you can govern that society is not that unlike what it was like when I was the governor of the 5th largest state in America.
VIERA goes into the case against him like he doesn't know.
Do you fully understand the position you're in?
BLAGO:
Of course I do....you can't help but not appreciate the circumstances and potential consequences.
Then he gets tripped up. (4:20)
But I know what the truth is concerning EMPHASIS me. NOD And I BLINK know BLINK I've BLINK done BLINK absolutely, pause, SHAKES HEAD nothing, uh that, BLINK BLINK, uh, RAISES EYEBROWS, CAN'T GET THE WORD OUT illegal.
I never intended to violate any law. And that when the full story and the truth comes out I expect to be fully vindicate and clear my name.
In the meantime, I have to suppport my children and my family. And if it means going into a jungle and having to eat some bugs, it's just a testament to how much I love my kids.
VIERA:
What about you credibility? Do you worry that it is going to be further eroded...?
BLAGO:
I can't control what some people might think...there's a presumption of innocence...give me a chance for the court proceedings to show that what is being said is not in fact the case.
I appreciate the judge. He's right. I should focus on my case and my defense and proving my innocence and this will be a chance to do it...In the meantime...I need to make a living and support my children and my family.
VIERA:
Had you been allowed to go on that show would you think you would have won?
BLAGO smiles and likens it to an election [jury trial] and that it's up to the people.
It's like elections - I never predict the outcome. You just do the best you can and trust the judgment of the citizens.
VIERA:
Well, maybe you've got another show in your future. [smirks and laughs]
She really is a rude woman. No matter what you think about Blago, he has been found guilty of nothing and they ripped him apart for months for the sake of barry.
I believe without a doubt that Roland Burris bought his senate seat directly from barry. My personal view courtesy of the First Amendment. And he did it in plain view of the FEC, the press, the GOP and the world.
Burris' long time friend and co-worker, the man who whispered in his ear at the impeachment trial, the man who wrote the affidavits before and after Burris' ever changing testimony donated $50K to barry. $50K to barry's inauguration, which was markedly out of character to his previous donations. He had actually donated to Hillary Clinton before he did barry. Go look. His records are right there for all to see, which I went into in a previous post - link below. I wish I knew the exact timeline to compare to the whisper in Harry Reid's ear and the donation of the $50K but the FEC doesn't keep dates (that I could find). But it's right there in plain sight and not a word has been said or question raised.
FACT: the Senate was not going to seat Burris and then barry chatted up Reid and Burris got seated. It was the first time barry did anything personally in his official capacity. Something that is clearly 100% out of character for him. Burris wanted to be seated. barry said seat Burris. Burris was seated. Burris' lawyer gave $50K to barry. Put it together however you like.
Cosmic karma has it's way of arriving at interesting and inopportune moments.
Maybe Sheldon Sorosky is a little more observant than Sangamon County State's Attorney John Schmidt.
And as much as the media stooges love barry and want to discredit anyone non-sympathetic or potentially tarnishing to him - they seem oblivious to the fact that Blago holds the key to barry's future. He knows what barry has done, how much money he's taken and can outline everything barry has done through REZKO and has threatened to tell all in his book. They keep putting the squeeze on his wife and he's going to protect his family barry be damned. That's why the Feds have been working so hard on REZKO. They want to make credible a convicted felon, whose indictment barry was named in and whose $250K dirty donations had to be gotten rid of, so he can rebut whatever Blago might potentially say about barry.
REZKO is the middleman who connects them. BLAGO < - > REZKO < - > BARRY.
And then there's the fact that barry's closest advisors Rahm Emanuel, Valerie Jarrett (and ?) and former barry campaign chair Jesse Jackson, Jr were in employed in official capacity when they talked with blago - however innocently - about the senate seat.
It's all as filthy as barry - a man I can no longer tolerate. Save your breath Secret Service. He's not worth doing anything to other than document his lies. The press obviously has no interest or intention of doing so and you have no interest in telling us exactly who is it you are protecting.
