I don’t know enough about Rod Blagojevich case to know if he did wrong enough for the sentence he revived or if it was a hit job against him. He didn’t say anything in that video which was the prefect time to say something.
In the video he said he always acted legally, including buying his own baseball tickets. He claimed he never asked for a quid pro quo for a campaign donation nor did he threaten anyone. He said the charges for which he stood trial were false and that the prosecutors and/or judges were corrupt. He was put in the general population with serious felons. He estimated that only about 2% of them were white collar criminals. These weren't his words, but the rest of them were the "Group W" mentioned in Alice's Restaurant: mother-rapers, father-stabbers, father-rapers, etc.
He comes across as very likable, and I want to believe him. I guess I have to lean on POTUS -- I'm sure Rod's case was thoroughly checked out before President Trump commuted his sentence.
