Former Illinois Governor Rod “Blago” Blagojevich clashed with CNN’s Anderson Cooper during a heated interview this weekend.

Blago was prosecuted, convicted and sentenced to 14 years in prison for trying to sell Barack Obama’s vacant Senate seat.

President Trump on Tuesday commuted Blago’s sentence after he served more than 7 years in prison.

Anderson Cooper pushed back against Blago when he said he was a target of “corrupt prosecutors.”

“I didn’t know how corrupt the justice system was until they did it to me and that was a wake-up call,” Blago said.

After a fiery exchange, Anderson Cooper told Blago he wasn’t owning up to what he did wrong and called “bullshit.”

Blago shot back and said, “No, it’s not bullshit! I lived it myself. It’s not bullshit at all!”

Earlier this week Blago thanked President Trump for giving him the ‘gift of freedom’ and railed against the corrupt justice system immediately after he was released from prison.

President Trump blasted “Comey and gang” again on Wednesday as Blago was speaking at his presser.

“Rod Blagojevich did not sell the Senate seat. He served 8 years in prison, with many remaining. He paid a big price. Another Comey and gang deal!” said Trump.

Blago was imprisoned by three Deep State crooks prominent in the fraudulent Mueller Special Counsel: Robert Mueller, James Comey and Patrick Fitzgerald.

Robert Mueller was the Director of the FBI when Blago was wiretapped by the FBI in 2008 and ultimately sentenced to prison in 2012.

Patrick Fitzgerald, the US Attorney for the Northern District of Illinois indicted Blago in 2008 and went after him with a vengeance whilst protecting then-president elect Barack Obama.

Barack Obama came out of this scandal unscathed even though he was involved in the effort to sell his vacant senate seat.
