Kerik, who oversaw the NYPD during the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks, pleaded guilty in 2009 to charges of felony tax fraud and lying to the government. He was released from federal prison in 2013

He Did his time...

Trump commuted the remainder of Blagojevich’s 14-year prison term. the Illinois Democrat had begun serving that sentence in 2013 after he was found guilty of attempting to trade the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama for money or favors.

He had a few years left but he only attempted to trade for favors, Trumps choice not yours

Reading is your friend, and Pardons are given as a Presidential role in the Constitution to be used at his discretion

I understand the President's pardon powers. However, I disagree with Trump's decision on this. When elected representatives sell nominations, the sentence should be VERY long. The same for felony tax evasion.
