Acts of Villainy
On December 9, 2008, Blagojevich was charged with corruption. The Justice Department complaint alleged the Blagojevich conspired to commit several "pay to play" schemes and to "obtain personal gain...through the corrupt use". This led to Blagojevich's impeachment and removal from office due to not only corruption but for also soliciting bribes.
