Turning Blagojevich loose would help sew chaos in the democrat party. Martha Stewart was a victim of virtue signalling and not really guilty of anything wrong anyway.

Notice, Trump pardons people in the middle of his term. Most politicians save it to the very end, maximizing suffering for the person pardoned and minimizing political blow-back.

Yes. Comey prosecuted Blago, too, IIRC. Trump is the Jedi Master of trolldom. Kek.

You got that right. Blago deserves every last second of his jail term. Besides, he’s such a blatant liar that none of his “info” would be worth letting him off. He was a bit player trying to act like a big time dem. Epic fail.

Trump: troll in chief. The grand master. Hope CNN chokes.

Maybe Blagojevich will rat out his buddy Barry Soetero.

IF Blagojevich is going to give up everything he knows, he will never make it out of prison alive.

Hmmm..... now there’s a thought.

Now I may know.

The man knows

Not sure about these pardons. Desouza was guilty of his crime, as is Stewart and Blogovich... no doubt about their crimes.

Other than to stir up the press these make no sense...

Make me wonder what he’s doing to keep folks distracted.

Putting Martha Stewart in jail was one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen done in this country.

And I don’t really like Martha Stewart.

Trump should ask Rod Blagojevich to tell all about Chicago corruption before being released.

Looks like the common thread with the pardons is "lying to the FBI".

This sort of sets the stage to inform the public that the FBI has no credibility, has lied for decades, and therefore cannot be trusted as any sort of authority on anything.

Might as well shut down that pack of criminals.

Dinesh was guilty of his premeditated crimes. He did some time in a halfway house. I could see restoring his rights, but why a pardon? Why pardon Blago, except in exchange for valuable testimony?

Trump is not giving a Pardon to Blago, it’s a Commutation of Sentence, that means time served.

If he did, it would show he’s not biased. Hopefully he will not do that.

Does the title mention a pardon for Blago?

Both would be very appropriate actions.

Unfortunate that Blago and his family cannot recapture the lost years.
