#Trump pardoned Former #Illinois Governor Rod #Blagojevich for his #corruption #conviction, 5 years after commuting his prison sentence.
Blagojevich, who served as a *Democrat* [otherwise you can’t win in #Chicago TYVM], was removed from office in 2009 for attempting to solicit #bribes to fill the US #Senate seat Barack #Obama vacated when he became president. Trump in Feb 2020 cut short Blagojevich’s 14-year prison sentence.
@Nonilex Kindred spirits
so blagojevich is no longer a felon. wonder of donnie realizes that blagojevich can't return the favor and remove donnie's felony...
Yeah, but the #AmericanClownEmperor gets another disgraced Democrat to sing his praises to fool the MAGAs and the uninformed.
He's a conman, so you always need to consider:
- what show is he putting on and
- how is he benefitting
Don't bother thinking about policy or objectives when considering his actions or motives. Just those two.
@Nonilex it's pro-bribery day. Bribes for everyone.
So many perfect phone calls are going to be made.
