Washington Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich on Friday declared himself a"political prisoner" in a contentious interview with CNN's Anderson Cooper over the substantial evidence prosecutors used to convict him on a host of public corruption charges.
Blagojevich's sentence was commuted earlier this week by President Donald Trump after the Democrat and former"Celebrity Apprentice" contestant had served eight years of a 14-year sentence for pay-for-play crimes.Blagojevich on Friday defiantly rebuked critics of his commutation, who have pointed to the considerable charges that landed him in prison. "I don't think they've looked carefully because I am a political prisoner," he said.
Anderson Cooper on Rod Blagojevich claim: Just nuts 02:47"They're uncontrolled and they're the ones Chief Justice Breyer talked about when he said our country is in trouble because of these uncontrolled prosecutors who can do just about anything they want to do and are using their power to go after government officials for what are -- what he called routine practices, and that's what I went to prison for.

andersoncooper Truth to Power!
andersoncooper Anderson, why don't you admit that the network you work for was not honest in their slanted, biased reporting on the President these last 4 years? Your boss Zucker told all of you to go after Trump! That isn't unbiased, honest reporting, but you won't admit that!

andersoncooper Anderson says B.S like Trump. They all Trump wanabe
andersoncooper Man knowing this is how cnn is actually allowed to talk to people and guests on its shows and the 💩💩it lets through it’s station is F-ING mind blowing. MIND F-ING BLOWING.
andersoncooper Blagojevich is going back to prison. Hes like Simpson and other criminals. They have no remorse and habitual criminals
andersoncooper There are perfectly valid and appropriate reasons to be angry with Blagojevich, but I'd wager the vast majority of the 'Go Anderson!' tweets are by people who have no clue what he did or didn't do. It's just the spectacle of the takedown. Too much anger is eating our country.
andersoncooper Imagine if andersoncooper had this much passion about Benghazi or HillaryClinton smashing devices under congressional subpoena
