Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who once mused about dream jobs in secret recordings used during his corruption trial, now is looking for work after his release from prison.

CHICAGO — Job wanted: Ex-governor and ex-con with strong speaking skills and good hair seeking employment.from President Donald Trump, former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich is in the hunt for a post-prison career.“I need to start working and providing for my family,” the 63-year-old told Fox News this week. He didn’t elaborate on the kind of job he is seeking.His expletive-laden talk captured on FBI wiretaps about landing a job or campaign cash for naming someone to Barack Obama’s vacated U.S.

Blagojevich himself mused about dream jobs in the secret recordings of his phone that played central roles at his two corruption trials. The Chicago Democrat heaped praise on the Republican president as he addressed reporters outside his home Wednesday, a day after his release from a federal prison in Colorado. Blagojevich went so far as to say he’d vote for Trump,A: At trial, prosecutors highlighted Blagojevich’s extravagant tastes. They said he and his wife, Patti, spent more than $400,000 on clothes that included tailored suits and furs. On a single day, he even shelled out $1,300 on ties.

Agents arrested then-Gov. Blagojevich after wiretaps recorded him gushing about using his power to appoint someone to the Senate seat to land a well-pay job or campaign cash, saying the leverage it provided was ” f------ golden.” Blagojevich, who got his law degree from Pepperdine University in 1983, can probably cross lawyer off the prospective jobs list.

As a politician, he demonstrated a Bill Clinton-like ability to connect with people of disparate backgrounds. Perhaps that could open the way to a sales or marketing job.Trump fired him from “Celebrity Apprentice” after Blagojevich struggled with basic tasks like sending emails from a cellphone.

Permanent Chief of Staff to POTUS is open...

It takes a big man to fill your seat

I was listening to his statement after releasing from the prison, he is smart and makes sense whole lot more than any other presidential candidates. I wish him well.

With any luck there’ll be an opening at DOJ soon.

STILL A CONVICTED FELON. ADMITTED GUILT BY ACCEPTING PARDON. beneficiary of a pardon needs to accept the pardon.[2] The Supreme Court stated in Burdick v. United States that a pardon carries an 'imputation of guilt,' and acceptance of a pardon is a confession to such guilt.

There are some cabinet posts available in the Trump administration...

Can't believe he had such high paying jobs hiding in the bathroom and avoiding bad news while at work. What am I doing wrong here? He must've had connections.

He should join The View.

GOP Senators, this is on you.

He does not deserve a job

I’m sure trump has something for him -

Attorney General!!!

A job with Trump

Fox will hire him, or trump 😅

How about Trump's caddy on the golf course.

MSNBC, CNN?

CNN, CBS, to name a few.

Why is this news? Should he just stay unemployed? Is this the first in history someone got out of jail and started looking for a job?

I'm sure the criminal in chief will set him up with something

He's as dumb as a rock maybe he could be a paper weight.

Fox News will take him

I’m sure Trump find something to do for him

He should work for trump. He possess all the crook and dishonesty skills the cabinet is looking for

All the corrupt people!!!! Amazing!

Call ex CT gov John Rowland. He should be of some help

Gotta imagine he lands a cushy consulting gig at a big bank

I know he could be a special advisor to the potus on corruption...

This criminal SOB claims he was a political prisoner. What a dick. He tried to sell Obama's vacant US Senate seat. I am guessing that whatever job he manages to get will face blow back from a public fed up with this criminal and boycott the company

Just for Men endorsement?

The Trump team should hire him, perfect fit. Trump loved him on the Apprentice

And he’ll get a job quicker than ppl without a conviction on their record.

I guess he's a felon....Well, he won't be getting much of a job. If he's lucky McDonalds may hire him but they don't usually hire felons.

Given the skill set he may have acquired in the joint, male prostitute comes to mind.

I will pay him minimum wage to clean up pee on the Red alone.

Needs to be a TV analyst giving expert advice on how to be a criminal.

Even though he was pardoned, he still has to check the ‘convicted felon’ box on job applications right? (I mean we all know he’s going to get hooked up with a no-show/kickback favor of a job anyway.)

He should run for governor again

Trump Administration? Secretary of State?

You liberals love to catch your enemies looking like they are doing the heil Hitler. Just in case you have any friendly crazies out there willing to believe they really are.

This is like the movie 'Batman - Dark Knight Rises'. He release all the criminals and take over White House by forces and fear. 😉😂😂😂😂

I'm not fan of Blago and disagree with him being release but what the hell is up with the photo you all picked for this article? Click bait and outrage win all apparently. AP is slumming for that revenue which has shown how they are less credible and reliable. Its really sad.

If he's willing to trash Trump CNN would hire him

I hear Burger King is hiring ...
