He was known as the “key figure.” Rod Blagojevich is out of town promoting his new book in New York. Kelly was due to serve 8 years in a federal prison along with a trial to occur next year regarding the Blagojevich “scandal.”
He’s dead. Cause of death has not been released. Conspiracy? You know it…
Look at the big picture. He was going away for 8 years. He plays a huge role working for Rod R. Blagojevich. Do you think that he would maybe turn on Roddy and spill some info to cut that sentence down??? I think so.

Kelly was Blagojevich’s long-time fundraiser and was indicted in three separate federal criminal cases. He was just six days away from having to report to federal prison to begin a nearly eight-year sentence on charges unrelated to political corruption.
As if that wasn’t enough, Chris Kelly faced trial alongside Rod Blagojevich next summer. Hanging over it all was an intense pressure from prosecutors to flip on his friend, the former governor.
