No. Blagojevich is just a tactless, white trash, moron who thought he'd get away scamming even more money from the people of Illinois.
The Governor has really thick hair, is kinda dim, and is enjoying the usual Donkey pass from the talking heads. To be fair, this is how the media (and reasonable folk everywhere) should treat the story, it's a shame that Elephants don't merit the same reaction. All and all, it's but another episode of the one-party soap opera that passes for politics in the US.
This is great. Sadly it won't undo the massive damage he (and his legislative colleagues) did to Illinois.
And guess who Trump wants to give a pardon to. https://www.politico.com/story/2019...ommuting-blagojevich-sentence-1452736?cid=apn
Word is Jared Kushner told Trump pardoning Blago would "appeal to Democrats." Of course, Kushner is also the one who told him Democrats would be happy if he fired James Comey, so there you go.
If he committed a crime and is convicted? Of course. I hold no one above the law. But since he hasn't committed a crime he can stay right where he is currently: Until the end of Jan 2021 or Jan 2025 depending on the election of course.
I was going to just "agree" but I think it needs to be said straight out. I agree. This dirtbag should serve his whole term.
