(Chicago, IL) — The top lawyer for the federal government says former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich doesn’t deserve another appeal hearing. The solicitor general wrote last week that Blagojevich’s latest bid to get his 2009 corruption conviction overturned is unwarranted and unnecessary. The former governor’s lawyers want the United State Supreme Court to review his conviction, and clear-up what they say are questions about honest service and whether the governor even broke the law or whether he was simply engaging in ‘politics.’
