Well this came a bit out of left field. Trump is commuting the sentence of Rod Blagojevich, the poster child of Democrat corruption.

1. I am curious to see how republicans will take this considering Blagojevich was a guy they loved to hate but Trump is commuting his sentence.
2. I am wondering why Trump is doing this. Was he buddies with him, does Blagojevich have some dirt on Trump, or does Trump just believe federal sentencing guidelines are too stringent?

1.  This is old news.
2.  He entered prison in March 2012, but three years later, the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago threw
out five of his convictions, including those accusing him of offering to appoint someone to a high-paying job in the
Senate.  He was found "not guilty" of one charge and the jury deadlocked on the remaining two. He was hit with 20
charges in all. 

Was he corrupt?  There hasn't been an IL governor who wasn't.  Look up how many have gone to prison.

Did he deserve 14 years?  Given the investigation and prosecution were headed up by Comey and others who've been found to be of questionable integrity, it's very likely the charges and sentencing were based on questionable evidence.

I don't think Rob INTENDED to BREAK THE LAW.  (Hillary/Comey defense)

Why did Trump do this?  You'd have to ask him.  He's pardoned or commuted sentences for more "deserving" prisoners, so ask yourself why Obama DID NOT pardon or commute the sentences for those people.

Rob was on the Celebrity Apprentice, even though Trump spent no time with him nor had any other relationship with him. 

I think this is just more of Trump cleaning up the messes left  behind from the previous administration.

So republicans were all wrong when they bemoaned corruption by Blagojevich and his connection to Obama?

Interesting. Not saying Trump is being dirty in any way by commuting the sentence just find it interesting that when Trump decides to do this, some of his supporters do a 180 and start defending Blagojevich.

Straw arguments must have been on sale this week!      Who said anyone doesn't still think Rob was corrupt?  Reread my previous post.

Maybe Trump doesn't make his decisions based on party loyalty?  You seem to love stereotyping all Republicans and Conservatives a certain way when it plays into your obviously Trump-hating narratives. 

Just because you want Trump supporters to look bad, you expect us all to agree with you that Trump violated some "us versus them" rule.

You need to reexamine your own allegiances.

My allegiances are to the truth and justice.  I don't think Trump all good or all bad and I don't set aside right and wrong to be a Trump sheep.
