Blago is an Illinois Democratic. Why would Trump bother with a guy from the Democrat Machine.
Why not?
The only crime Blagojevich committed (any differently then any other Democrat) was he thought the Senate seat was his to sell. Silly Rabbit. The Senate seat was much too valuable for a mere Governor to sell so he had to be a object lesson to others, not to go against the mob (in this case the corrupt Democrat leadership).
George Ryan via the Secretary of State's office sold CDL's to criminal illegal aliens and other unqualified Commercial Truck Drivers in exchange for campaign cash while Ryan was running for Governor here. His actions cost the lives of many people, including six children from one family. Ryan received a mere 5 years in prison.
By comparison, Blago's actions killed NO ONE and most would consider his actions here in Illinois innocuous, and far less aggregious than the horse trading that goes on in Illinois' corrupt politics.
Blago got 14 years, almost triple that which Ryan got.
Anyone who doesn't see the injustice here is truly blind, and I say that as no fan of Blago or Illinois' corrupt politics.
