I still think he's angling for a commutation of his sentence.
He’s so twisted they’ll have to screw him into the ground when he dies. (granddad has a bunch of these)
If I recall my history, the House Democrats in Lincoln’s time would have impeached Lincoln if they could get away with it.
Always a scum party.
Democrats started a war, tried a few times to assassinate Lincoln until they were finely successful. They haven’t changed in nature since 1850. Of course they would impeach Lincoln.
Well, Trump’s mentioned it a few times. Blago’s corrupt as any other Chicago politician, but he got crushed because Obama wanted him crushed.
[[I believe Blago is more crooked than a $3 bill...]]
Yeah but he was TV Gold
He’s hoping for a commutation or pardon:

Not that I blame him. One punch killings in NYC are punished as misdemeanors with a 1 year maximum sentence. Whereas Blagojevich got 14 years. If he’s getting 14, one punch killers should get 28. Or more.
Democrats couldn’t impeach Lincoln, so they started the country’s bloodiest war instead.

[There is one thing that sort of endeared Blago to me, long ago. Hear me out. The man has, or had, an impressive head of hair, and he was vain about it. Apparently, an aide carried a comb at all times. Blago referred to it as “the football.”]
The Democrats demonstrated back then that they were not above doing far worse.
Since democraps are all about slavery...of course they would have impeach Lincoln.
Well of course. He freed their slaves.
If somebody painted God orange, house democrats would ‘peach God
What was she back then? A freshman congresswoman?
I don’t know if she would’ve impeached him but the demonicRAT Party would have made John Wilkes Booth their Presidential nominee.
I doubt the House would have impeached Lincoln knowing that he won 18 out of 33 states (55%).

i lived in Illinois for most of my life. I have now escaped to Florida, thank goodness. I watched Blago, whose major “sin” was being a flamboyant big mouth talker, being railroaded on basically trumped up charges by his fellow Dems, who wanted him out of the way because he was a rogue Dem that they couldn’t control.
It was Comey and his IL cronies that went after blago and screwed him over for alleging offering to sell a Senate seat (”it’s friggin golden”) that never took place other than big talk on Blago’s part. Blago did no more or less than any other IL politician by wheeling and dealing, in other words, practicing politics. Blago was set up and gotten rid of by his fellow Dems.
Blago got a totally raw deal and I hope Trump pardons him at his first opportunity to do so. Blago was ruined by the very same cadre of like minded Dem lawyers that have been going after Trump. Blago should never have been given a 14 year sentence just for being mouthy; he has children that have grown up without their father, while murderers in IL get 1/3 or less of the sentence that Blago got. It makes me sick, and this from a former conservative former citizen of the corrupt State of IL. Free Blago!
The House would have killed Lincoln if they thought they could have gotten away with it. Bad enough Southern Democrats started the damned war.
Sense from Blago. What a world we live in.
And yes, of course they would have impeached him (they’d just settle on abuse of power for fighting the Civil War not any of the nonsense charges Blago suggest TODAY’s democrats might use), they didn’t have the majority though so they settled for murder.
