Former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich can't tweet from the Chicago courtroom where his federal trial is taking place. Before court on Wednesday morning, Blagojevich messaged "Amy's graduation last night was beautiful," a reference to the eighth grade graduation of his daughter.

"Getting to graduation with not a moment to spare. Just relieved to get here at all," Patti tweeted.
