Oh gee, some House Republicans are unhappy about Blagojevich’s commutation.
Former Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich profusely thanked Trump for commuting his prison sentence in a press conference today.
He would, wouldn’t he.
“We want to express our most profound and everlasting gratitude to President Trump,” said Blagojevich, appearing alongside his family. “How do you properly thank someone who’s given you back the freedom that was stolen from you?”
Says the guy who wanted to sell Obama’s Senate seat for $$$.
But others are less thrilled about Blagojevich’s commutation, considering he was caught on tape trying to sell a Senate seat.
A group of House Republicans from Illinois released a statement yesterday calling Blagojevich “the face of public corruption” in the state and saying they were “disappointed” by Trump’s decision.
Gee. If only he’d been impeached…

Fill the Swamp!
They’d probably be fine with his commutation if only he’d had the sense to be a corrupt Republican.
Well I’m sure he’s a corrupt Republican now…
Yes, it seems interesting this is the one they were unhappy with. Some of the things those others did were as bad as Blagojevich. Why only be unhappy about Blagojevich? They should be unhappy at the upending of the rule of law altogether.
