“FBI is really the FB lie” - Impeached ex-US governor uses Joe Rogan podcast spotlight to deliver no-holds-barred rant on federal agency 

Former US governor Rod Blagojevich, who was arrested and impeached by the FBI, recently sounded off on the federal agency during his appearance on the Joe Rogan Experience (JRE) podcast.

On episode #2245 of JRE, the UFC commentator welcomed Blagojevich to the show. Blagojevich served as the 40th governor of Illinois between 2003-2009, but was arrested and charged with corruption in December 2008. A month later, the Illinois House and Senate successfully voted to impeach Blagojevich for his abuse of power.

After lengthy court proceedings on over 24 federal charges, Rod Blagojevich was found guilty on a total of 17 charges in 2011 and was ordered to report to prison in March 2012. The former governor was told he would have to serve a minimum of 12 years before he could be released. However, after Donald Trump was voted in as the president for the first time, he commuted Blagojevich's sentence and he was released on Feb. 18, 2020.

Since his release, Blagojevich has regularly maintained the belief that the FBI lied on multiple occasions in order to convict him. When pressed by Joe Rogan about what he believes happened during the time of his arrest, Blagojevich sounded off about the federal agency, saying:

"If you lie to the FBI, they call them 302's these interviews, it's a crime. But I've learned the FBI is really the FB lie. You sit down like I did stupidly and talk to these people, they say you lied and you say they lied. Who are you gonna believe as a jury? It's a big mistake to ever trust them...I thought they were the good guys."

Joe Rogan recently came to the defense of Elon Musk, following widespread criticism about the X CEO's intelligence.

Musk has come under fire over recent months for his support of Donald Trump as well as his takes on politics around the world. The tech billionaire has regularly been criticized on social media for his opinion, which has led to questions over his intelligence.

Joe Rogan, who appeared on a recent episode of The Tim Dillion Show, defended Musk and called out those who are criticizing him. He said:

"This is where you can see how crazy people are today, when they try to mock Elon's intelligence. I've heard he's a 'dumb person's version of a smart person'. Okay, what does your version look like? It's like one of those guys that sees the hottest woman in the world and goes pfft."
