Democrats wanted "justice" for Blago as a firewall to protect Obama from getting caught trying to sell his Senate seat.
Everything we have seen from the Obama camp since then just screams that he was involved.

“The reason why Democrat governor Rod Blagojevich went to prison was that, if the investigation were allowed to continue, it would have led straight to Obama.”
No doubt.
Sometimes, a democrat has to fall on his/her own sword to protect the party. The “guilty” will be amply rewarded after their time is served...maybe not overtly, but certainly enough to compensate them for their sacrifice. It’s a red badge of courage for them, and gains them street cred that will be admired by fellow party members.
