Blagojevich also continues to say he was innocent; I think he believes he was barely within the law. His problem if I remember was bucking some other powerful Democrats who turned on him.
I think Blagojevich was screwed by Barack Obama.
Remember, it was Obama’s senate seat he was caught selling... does anyone think for a moment that the money grubbing Obamas didn’t want a piece of that action?
Let’s say Blago tried to cut the Obamas out of the deal - and they sent him to prison for it.
Along comes Trump who figures “the enemy of my enemy....“

Jesse Jackson Jr (the buyer of the Senate seat) and his wife have been out of prison for years. Blago’s problem was being prosecuted by a Republican while his co-conspirators got prosecuted by Democrats.
