Pritzker “thinks big” when writing campaign checks to Blagojevich
“J.B. Pritzker ‘thinks big’ when it comes to writing big campaign checks to Rod Blagojevich. Pritzker gave so much cash to Blagojevich’s gubernatorial campaigns – $121,000 in total – he was his fifth largest individual donor. It makes one wonder if Pritzker had state grants and political appointments on his mind when he was writing those big campaign checks to Blagojevich.” – Illinois Republican Party Spokesman Aaron DeGroot
J.B. Pritzker is working hard to hide his close ties to disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich, but campaign contributions last forever.
Public records reveal Pritzker was Blagojevich’s fifth largest individual campaign donor. Before Blagojevich’s arrest, trial and conviction, Pritzker personally contributed $121,000 to Blagojevich’s gubernatorial campaigns.
There is no doubt that Pritzker’s and Blagojevich’s ties run deep.
Days ago in yet another bombshell Tribune report on J.B. Pritzker’s close ties to disgraced former Governor Rod Blagojevich, it was revealed that Pritzker and Blagojevich traded campaign cash for state grants.
And let’s not forget when the Chicago Tribune published their first bombshell report on Pritzker’s close ties to Blagojevich this past May. FBI wiretaps revealed Pritzker schemed with Blagojevich to be appointed Illinois Treasurer. In the same call, Blagojevich pressed Pritzker for campaign contributions.
Quid pro quo – that’s the name of the game for Blagojevich-loving politicians like Pritzker.
Illinoisans should be worried about what J.B. Pritzker will do if he’s allowed to buy the governor’s office just like he bought influence with Blagojevich.
