Ad highlights FBI wiretaps that revealed J.B. Pritzker’s close ties to now-imprisoned Governor Rod Blagojevich

On the heels of disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich’s recent news interviews from a Federal prison in Colorado, the Illinois Republican Party is releasing a digital ad highlighting the FBI wiretaps that revealed J.B. Pritzker’s close ties to Blagojevich.

The FBI wiretaps were first disclosed in a bombshell Chicago Tribune investigative report published this past May.

The wiretaps revealed Pritzker schemed with Blagojevich to be appointed Illinois Treasurer, among other state offices. In the same wiretaps, Blagojevich pressed Pritzker for campaign contributions.

There is no doubt Pritzker’s and Blagojevich’s ties run deep.

Illinoisans should be worried about what Pritzker will do if he’s allowed to buy the governor’s office just like he bought influence with Blagojevich.
