Clearly its a slap in the face of Obama and probably why Trump is considering this. Or perhaps Sylvester Stallone asked him to do it like the Jack Johnson pardon.
I think Blago is a character and very entertaining. I would watch his reality show if he was to do one. I watched his lawyer on CNN and it was not so cut and dry that he was guilty. His first trial he was convicted of simply making a false statement. The jury could not come up with a consensus on the serious charges. He was retried and convicted on 17 counts. His lawyer made some interesting points on all of this. I remember in the past hearing some of the wiretaps that were suppose to prove he was guilty and it was convoluted at best. So I have no idea if he is really a bad guy or got railroaded for some other reason. 93% of federal defendants get convicted. The question is are 93% of them actually guilty?
Let him out. Its not like he is going to repeat his offense.
