When Blagojevich told them he didn’t keep track of fund raising?
During that 2005 interview, held in the offices of Winston & Strawn, Blagojevich said he maintained a separation between politics and fund-raising.
“He said he did not track who was contributing to him or how much they were contributing,” Murphy said. “This was a decision he made when he became governor,” he said Blagojevich told him.
But the ex-governor also equated politics with fund-raising in one key statement, Murphy testified: Blagojevich told him he put a firewall between politics and government. Murphy asked Blago what he meant by “politics” and Blago told him “fund-raising.”
The thing about getting Blagojevich for lying to the FBI is that he lied to everyone. It’s not like they were different….
Lying to them was a criminal offense. That’s how they were different.
