Excellent. Give Martha Stewart a pardon ASAP.
Forget about Blagojevich.

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.

Blago attempted to sell Obama's former Senate seat which Obama believed was HIS to sell.

And he was recorded saying blasphemous things about the anointed one.

Blago should stay in jail just for having such a bad rug.

Rush pointed out that these were prosecuted by Comey, and perhaps that’s his reason.

He is needed back in Ill-Annoy to perform his most excellent Elvis impersonations at block parties. He could make some money. His talent, he's got this "thing", and it is f'n golden.

He’s going down that road for a reason. I would think he knows were all bodies are buried in Illinois.

DO NOT pardon Blago....

It says "commute". That's different from a pardon. It affects only the sentence, and not the conviction. Since Blago was railroaded by vindictive Obama, it seems appropriate.

Two liberal Democrats?..................WHY?????

Because maybe not everything is based on political party for some people? Maybe actual righting-of-wrongs (by Obama and Comey) was a consideration? Just a thought.

He is not pardoning him, he is thinking of commuting his sentence to time served.

Thank you. I don’t know so many people are getting that wrong.

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

Bribery and extortion relating to the selling of the vacant Senate seat as well as contracts to hospitals and such. I'd say he's just as corrupt as most Chicago Democrats.

There is, of course, a legal difference between a pardon and a commutation. But in this particular case I lump them both together. Because they both would minimize an instance of public corruption.

There is a reason Trump is considering this, Blago knows a lot of things and with him out who knows what dirt may fly.

I never considered that! Could be that there’s a deal in the works.
