Such a fighter against corruption! The one woman in the rogues gallery was serving 35 years for a $200 million Medicare fraud. That's $200 million stolen from we taxpayers.
Good question, but under certain circumstances I can understand it. But Trump is giving out pardons like a Pez dispenser.
You don't believe that selling a seat in congress, the senate, is so egregious and damaging to the legitimacy of our nations government by an elected governor, the chief executive of a state's government, warrants something less than his sentence? personally, holding white collar crime just as accountable as other criminal offenses should be a pillar of prosecutorial emphasis.
What are you talking about? There aren't a hell of a lot of people who try to sell a recently vacated United States Senate seat nor are there very many who try to shake down a hospital. Good Lord, stand up for what's right and oppose crap that is really very very wrong.
Well, there are always 2 or 3 sides to every story. https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/...absolutely-deserved-to-have-sentence-commuted
You must be kidding. The guy who benefited from Blagojevich's crime thinks Blagojevich got a raw deal? You really consider that a strong argument?
I do understand that, was bold enough to post the link, followed by the refrain "3rd" side. At any rate, there's no doubt in my mind that Obama's Chicago elite also played into the whole equation....although, I'm certain he'll be teflon through its entirety.
All of these pardons and commutations were of grossly unjust, politically or racially motivated, and sadistically excessive sentences. In addition, most of the criminals have already been in prison for all or most of their sentence and should have been paroled by now. The media only seems interested in talking about a minority of the newly freed list. Because it doesn't fit the false narrative they're presenting.
Same goes for men of any color compared to women, conservatives compared to liberals, ugly people with poor personal hygiene compared to anyone...
