Blago says impeachment trial unfair, won't participate

Once again, Rod Blagojevich just has to be different. The disgraced governors impeachment governor is just four days away. There's is nothing unusual in Blagojevich not showing up to the trial, on the presidential level, neither Andrew Johnson or Bill Clinton appeared at their Senate trials, but it appears that Blago's legal team won't be in Springfield on Monday when his state Senate trial starts.

Blago wants to be able to call witnesses, and he may decide to participate if he is given that right.

The Chicago Democrat told reporters this morning one witness he would call is White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel.
