Blagojevich Grilled By Prosecutor About Lying To FBI Conviction: "CHICAGO -- A prosecutor who waited years to grill Rod Blagojevich on a witness stand struck hard and fast Thursday when he finally got his chance.
'Mr. Blagojevich, you are a convicted liar, correct?' lead prosecutor Reid Schar asked, raising his voice as he stepped up and delivered his first question to the ousted Illinois governor.
'Yes,' Blagojevich answered, after the judge overruled a flurry of objections from defense lawyers.
Within minutes, tempers on all sides flared – a seemingly chaotic scene where Blagojevich's lawyers repeatedly objected and Schar appealed for the judge to direct Blagojevich to answer the question.
Schar rocked back on his heels and pointed angrily as he hurled one question after another at Blagojevich, who tried to hold his ground and also looked angry."
