These kinds of decisions or more involved than just black and white. There’s any number of reasons why Trump would do this.
1. It will force the demoRATS to condemn the commutation of one of their own.
2. It is a gesture of goodwill that will take the wind out of the democRATS sails about Trump being so partisan and without compassion.
3. It will soften the political crowd up for the pardoning Flynn and Stone, who I think he will fee.
4. It is a backhanded slap at Mueller and Comey (via his buddy Gregory Craig) who put Blagojevich in prison.
5. Blago may have evidence that Obama was involved in the corruption because he was negotiating to get Valarie Jarrett into his old US Senate seat at the time Blago got caught.
Blago was burned as lesson to others that one does not question the wishes of the one. Also, Valerie Jarrett is a mean vicious spiteful reptile. I wonder if she’s moved into the new house at Martha’s Vinyard yet.
President Trump does things because they’re the right things to do. Can’t go wrong that way.
