Former Detroit Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick – a Democrat serving a 28-year sentence for corruption – is seeking President Donald Trump’s help to get out of prison early, according to reports.
Kilpatrick, writing on the Free Kwame Project website, says he has undergone a spiritual transformation since resigning from office in 2008 following a text-messaging sex scandal.
“By God’s grace, I have received a pardon from Him, through Christ Jesus. I pray that I will receive the opportunity for Pardon/Clemency from the President of the United States as well,” he writes.

LOLOLOLOL...
Yeah, that’s gonna work!
Don’t hold your breath, Kwame.
Toss a grenade into the cell with the pardon attached.
This guy has real love in his heart. Love of money that is.
I’ve seen documentaries on him. While all greed is disgusting, he seemingly reveled in it. He needs to serve every single day of his sentence because he is a very dangerous guy. A serious threat to society.
Sure, go ahead and pardon thin clown. He’ll run for Mayor of Detroit again, win, and start the graft all over again.
There is a bunch of new money coming into the downtown area since Kwame left. He needs to get him some of ‘dat.
And the people of Detroit might elect him again, a la Marion Berry in DC, who finished life as a DC City Council member, despite felony drug convictions while mayor earlier in his career.
We’re on the same page on this.
Kwame is just a common, unrepentant criminal. Nothing for him.
If he’s going to pardon Blagojevich then what the heck, why not?
2008, Detroit mayor, by the name I can only guess, and Obama DIDN’T pardon him?
Pardon, only if he and entire family exiled to South Africa!
He should also take Tax Dodger Reverend Al!
Real Christians who get saved in prison understand the need to repent and to redeem for what they have done. I know of Christians who willing said they were guilty because they wanted to repay their debts. I know of one who did not fight their death penalty because they believed it was their Christian duty to pay for that crime.
Using your pardon from Christ as a reason to get pardoned from Caesar, is proof you might not really have that pardon from Christ.
The hip-hop mayor needs to stay where he’s at.
The difference being that the crooked Blago was railroaded on the particular charges that he was jailed for... and Kwame's charges were all quite well-deserved and thoroughly proven.
It's like Bill Clinton getting impeached for lying about oral sex, instead of for selling missile secrets to China and nuclear reactors to North Korea and taking vast amounts of illegal donations in exchange for international political favors. Those who care about truth and justice want criminals charged properly for the things they actually did. Those who simply want revenge lash out for overblown and weak charges and use those as an excuse to punish opponents.
Kwame's 24 counts of fraud and racketeering didn't come close to covering all of his abuses of power, but they were at least on point. Blago simply irked Obama by selling his former seat without any kickbacks to the Obama machine (an inexcusable transgression in Chicago politics, of course) and was caught talking about it by... you guessed it... wiretapped conversations. Obama's goons do not change their SOP much.

That’s a good point.
The crook had 8 years for the Muslim Brotherhood/Black Lives Matter/Reverend Wright, rabble rousing, Metrosexual Obama to pardon him yet he did not make this request.
Openly considering commuting the sentence for Blagojevic was simply another way of shaming and embarrassing Obama (whose DOJ wiretapped Blago once Blago failed to give the Obama folks their kickbacks when Blago sold Obama's old senate seat).
The other issue Trump floated in the same sentence was pardoning Martha Stewart, who was investigated for insider trading, but was actually jailed for "obstruction of justice for lying to investigators"... sound familiar? Obama's DOJ couldn't make the charges stick, so they kept attacking her until they could create the crime to use to put her in jail... just as they are doing in the "Russia probe".
Thank GOD the ex-mayor has been forgiven and set free of his sins by the blood of JESUS CHRIST. However, here on earth, if you do the crime, you do the time. The BIBLE states there are consequences for our actions... Your sin will find you out.
He probably thinks Trump is an easy mark.
He is mistaken.
Reverse clemency
Add a year for every fraudulent vote stuffed in a Detroit ballot box
