I’m a little confused about Blagojevich being pardoned. He was definitely a POS who had crooked doings across a number of enterprises. The others on Trump’s list make sense. Blagojevich, not so much.

That was my first reaction to hearing this as well, but after thinking about it I am assuming they cut a deal with him. He has to know a lot about the dirty crap Bozzo and Jarret were involved in in Chicago.

He wasn’t pardoned. His sentence was just commuted. That means Trump thought 8 years was enough for lying to FBI. Remember he only talked about how valuable that seat was, he didn’t actually sell it.

Let a dog out of his cage and he’ll always run to his masters....Blagojevich will be back in the game in no time, he’s as addicted to power as the rest. But you can bet he’s going nowhere without a tail and surveillance.

Blagojevich was on Trump’s Celebrity Apprentice. Make of that what you will.

He had his sentence commuted, He was not pardoned. He remains a convicted felon. He is simply released.

You can bet he has info about IL corruption. Maybe he knows where the bodies are buried. He has had 5 yrs. to plan his revenge.
