President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned Rod Blagojevich, the former Illinois governor who was convicted and sentenced to prison on corruption charges surrounding his time in office.
“It was a sort of a terrible injustice,” Trump said. “They just were after him. They go after a lot of people. These are bad people, the other side.”
Of note, those corruption charges stemmed from Blagojevich very openly trying to sell Obama’s vacant US Senate seat in Illinois after the 2008 election.
Just want to point out that Blagojevich is\was a democrat, and was taken down by a democrat administration.
Kind of makes it worse almost. Trump isn’t acting out of partisanship, but a desire to protect corrupt people like himself.
