Blago is a no good SOB IMO, BUT he was railroaded on this one.

I’m hoping Trump just said this to muddy the waters a bit after the Desouza pardon. but if Trump really goes ahead and pardons Blagojevich, I’ll be very disappointed.

As for Stewart, eh...who cares?

Exactly. She has never had a good thing (heh) to say about POTUS. Lifelong elitist democrap.

Blagojevich is the guilty one in the group - but it could be a slap in the face of N0bama who had him prosecuted for political revenge.

How did Blago get convicted? He’s far less corrupt than most Chicago Democrats. What did he do differently?

He didn’t say pardon for Blago, just commutation of sentence.

Agreed....he was a sitting governor dragged out of his house in the morning for arrest and not charged for months. His sentence is over the top as well.

I never liked him, but he must have really pissed of the wrong people in Illinois.

"I agree. He pissed 0bama off."

Well then maybe he's got some dirt he's willing to spill. I wouldn't give him a pardon though until anything he says is verified by evidence.

My understanding is that Blago’s sentence is totally disproportionate and over the top.

I’m fine with a commutation for him, and all else that Trump mentioned.

The justice system has run amok, is totally out of control and operates on a double standard.
