Trump pardons ex-Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich

[Starmix]

According to the report, President Donald Trump on Monday pardoned former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose 14-year sentence for political corruption charges he commuted during his first term.

The report said that the Republican president called the Democratic former governor, who once appeared on Trump's reality TV show "Celebrity Apprentice," "a very fine person" and said the conviction and prison sentence "shouldn't have happened."

The report added that Blagojevich was convicted in 2011 on charges that included seeking to sell an appointment to then-President Barack Obama's old Senate seat and trying to shake down a children's hospital.

That is a very impressive move of President Trump to give the ex-governor an absolute pardon. The crime he committed might have been fabricated during the Oma presidency. The most important words: "This is what pardon power is supposed to be for, to correct an injustice". Shame on you Obama for what you did to Governor Rod Blagojevich. Thanks President Trump. This shows how great Donald Trump is. Helping someone who was a Democrat not Republican.

Yes as a leader one has to be liberal. I like it that he is not decriminalisatory which is good

The pardon given to the ex-governor will elate the hearts of the Trump loyalists. It is proof that he is a good and diplomatic president.

Trump is using his political power to free some of his die yard loyalists that are languishing in prisons. Moreover, United States don't have courts where you can easily subterfuge court rulin.
