Love our Prez, but this sucks.
It doesn’t really suck at all Trump is looking at this through the eyes of what was done to his admin with NO JUSTICE at all!!! I frankly think Trump is right about this EQUAL justice for all and this sentence was over the top considering all of the CORRUPT bastards walking FREE in DC !!! Sentence being commuted is fine with me he has served enough time!!! I TOTALLY understand Trumps thinking at this time!!!!
The media is not telling the whole story. There’s a shocker.
.
Blagojevich was prosecuted by the incredibly sanctimonious Patrick Fitzgerald. This guy is an unbelievably obnoxious horse’s arse. Is it possible to be any more self-righteous than Comey, who happens to be one of Fitzgerald’s best friends going back decades? I guess they are about even.
Fitzgerald prosecuted Scooter Libby for false statements made in an investigation of a crime he had already solved. That is, he sent the FBI to question Libby while already knowing that the real leaker was deep state favorite Colin Powell’s chief deputy Richard Armitage.
He sent Conrad Black to prison on a terribly questionable case.
In the Blago case, the feeling among many conservatives at the time was that Blago had disrespected Obama and the Chicago political machine by not letting them pick Obama’s replacement. Yes, there is way more to it than that and the guy is a dirtbag which is which this was a commutation rather than a pardon. But Trump obviously viewed his prosecution as substantially (not wholly) political and selective. I know that because that is how many of us here at FR viewed the case at the time.
So I suggest everyone offended by this commutation dive a little deeper into the history of the case before criticizing our great President.
