Blagojevich bond set at $450K
Friday, Jul 15, 2011 - Posted by Rich Miller * A friend of mine told me the other day that Rod and Patti Blagojevich were actively looking for a Chicago condo. Turns out, she was right. They have their house up for sale, but I’m not sure how they can sell it when it’s being used as collateral for Rod’s bond…
* Prosecutors had asked for a million dollar bond. No luck…
The former governor and his wife said they had about $600,000 in equity in the two properties. * More…
Just like he had no intention of violating his oath of office? * Prosecutors claimed earlier this week that they hadn’t received all the necessary paperwork on the two properties, but that’s supposedly all settled. Also, the judge barred Blagojevich’s attorneys from talking with the jurors for now.

If he ran he would have to cut his hair, no way he runs.

I’ve got these two properties, one in Chicago and one in Washington, and they’re bleeping golden…..

Why bar Blagojevich attorneys from speaking to the jury members? Everyone else talked to them after the trial.

Yeah, I can see RB now - on the run, looking for the one armed man. Would make for a great TV show. Harrison Ford would have to do alot to his hair to get the part, tho.

@ Louis,
I imagine it has something to do with an appeal based on how the jury was instructed etc. I’m not a lawyer, but I know one who slept in an holiday inn express once.

THE bond was fair, what good does piling on do.
- Huh? - Friday, Jul 15, 11 @ 3:35 pm:
Who would want to buy a house that is being held as collateral for a federal bail? Just getting a clear title would be a nightmare?
- Huh? - Friday, Jul 15, 11 @ 3:40 pm:
If they have $600k in collateral, why haven’t they refinanced the properties to fund the most recent defense? Why did blago get to use a public defender if he has $600k in real estate equity?

We will be paying for Blago’s malfeasance for years and years.
