President Donald Trump is expected to commute the sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, multiple senior level sources tell ABC News.

Among the causes that lead to Blagojevich's original conviction was the charge that he sought to exchange an appointment to former President Barack Obama's vacated U.S. Senate seat in exchange for campaign money.

Blagojevich, a Democrat, has been a resident of the Federal Correctional Institution, in Englewood -- near Littleton, Colorado -- since March 15, 2012, where he is known as Inmate No. 40892-424.

You seem to know more about it so I defer to that.

He never did anything to me.

I know his daughter loves him very much.

I didn't say anything about the motive. I just said it's wrong that this corrupt criminal will be free when he deserves to be in prison.

It definitely acts as a message to all Democrats that they have carte blanche to do whatever they want and break ever law.

I was surprised to see how long he was sentenced for and that he wasn’t potentially up for parole until 2024. Ludicrous amount of time for a non-violent offense. Blago was an amiable dunce, not some criminal mastermind.

I find the scumbag endearing now. He cut himself shaving with a real razor and did his press conference while bleeding. 😂 Praised Trump though I'm not sure that helps us.
