CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) - Gov. Rod Blagojevich said Friday that he is not guilty of any criminal wrongdoing and said he will not resign.
"I have done nothing wrong," he said at a news conference.
Watch: 'I will fight,' says Blagojevich
"I am dying to answer these charges. I am dying to show you how innocent I am," he said. "I intend to answer every allegation that comes my way. However, I intend to answer them in the appropriate forum."
He added, "I have on my side the most powerful ally there is, and it is the truth."
He took no questions from reporters.

John – I guess you are the idiot GURU. Just tag people as idiots, I wonder who gave you that right – IDIOT
Blagojevich = Capone
Bottomline :
He mis-used his powers and commited fraud, crime
He will be behind bars.
His gimmicks : I will fight, I will fight, I will fight till my last breath... are pure nonsense. This guy apparently lives in a state of denial
GOV Blagojevich has ruined his reputation and leadership. I would not support him if he ran for reelection.
1) He says "I am innocent". If you ever go to jail., you will see that all inmates say the same
2) He says he will fight to the last breadth. If you look into mobs history, all their bosses fight to the last breadth.... so what.
... so JAIL is exactly where this man belongs to!!!!!!!!!
