Blago was given 14 years for a phonecall basically on an extortion charge that carries 5-14. He’s served 8 years. With 2/3rds off for good behavior he should have walked 3 years ago. With 1/3 off he’s still done.

Not about liking him or condoning betrayal of public trust. It’s about a justice system gone wild who punishes people arbitrarily.

Not in the federal system. One year of good behavior in a federal prison gets you 54 days off your sentence.
