He tried to sell Obama’s Senate seat, for God’s sake!!!! It wouldn’t be a miscarriage of justice if his creep-@$$ died in jail. He’s a corrupt politician who tried to sell out the interest of his constituents!!! THAT is one of the fundamental problems with the government in our country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I still believe he really in jail for the crime of embarrassing Obama. Yes, he’s crooked and no good, he’s a Chicago politician. They all are, yet they targetted him only after questions of his business deals with Obama and the selling of the seat came up. Lock him up for a long time just to inoculate Obama.
Yes, and they all do this. Maybe more subtly but they are going to make that appointment based on what benefits them—appointing a donor, for example, arranging a political marriage, whatever. What he did was nothing new or unusual. And he was talking, they convicted and sent him to jail for talking. He never did it. He never took a bribe or anything. This was personal, vindictive, and not a good day for justice. Yes, Trump should commute or even pardon him.
