Just for bringing back Moe Howard’s and Pete Rose’s haircut.Once Blago set free the next logical step would be Medal of Freedom, no?
This would be the Platonic form of Trumpiness.My theory, which is a hill that I will die on, is that some lawyer was trying to explain the limits of executive power to Trump and used Blago as an example (hey just because he has a right to appoint the next Senstor, he can’t give it to the highest bidder) and the lesson Trump took was to prove that lawyer wrong.
That would be ******* golden.Once Blago set free the next logical step would be Medal of Freedom, no?
I believe it was because he wrote a poorly thought out opinion piece which Trump feels gives him some cover for the impeachment. Want a favor, say something nice about Trump publically. Pretty straight forward.My theory, which is a hill that I will die on, is that some lawyer was trying to explain the limits of executive power to Trump and used Blago as an example (hey just because he has a right to appoint the next Senstor, he can’t give it to the highest bidder) and the lesson Trump took was to prove that lawyer wrong.
Did Kurik and Miliken write or say something nice about the President? I agree with your theory, just didn't know what they did.I believe it was because he wrote a poorly thought out opinion piece which Trump feels gives him some cover for the impeachment.

I don't know. So much to keep up on.Did Kurik and Miliken write or say something nice about the President? I agree with your theory, just didn't know what they did.
Actually it may be more similar to Eddie DeBartolo Jr.'s hair than either of those two.Just for bringing back Moe Howard’s and Pete Rose’s haircut.
That was then and this is now.Right wingers in IL were rejoicing when Blago got busted and sent to prison. Too funny. Guess Trump had to do it since taking bribes is what Trump does.
Who is in that crowd?Blago is one of the most cut-and-dry cases of political corruption in recent years. That won't go over well with the "drain the swamp" crowd.
Maybe not many Trump supporters, but at least some. It's only logical.Who is in that crowd?
If only that crowd actually cared one iota about draining the swamp.Blago is one of the most cut-and-dry cases of political corruption in recent years. That won't go over well with the "drain the swamp" crowd.
Kidding right? They love it!Blago is one of the most cut-and-dry cases of political corruption in recent years. That won't go over well with the "drain the swamp" crowd.
This and I also think that he’s focusing on crimes that he’s committed or plans on committing. It was unfair when they were put in prison for it, so it’d be unfair to do the same to him.IMO what’s going on here is 1. sending signals to his fellow targets in the JDA to stay strong, and 2. To focus on notorious public corruption cases to demonstrate the great injustice and mistreatment these poor politicians and big businessmen have been subject to. And when he pardons Stone, Flynn & Pals he can also point to these preceding pardons as being consistent.
Yep, agree. - It probably should also be noted that supposedly Trump is trying to get rid of the law or enforcement of the law against bribery of foreign officials for business purposes. If anyone wants a link glad to. Just part and parcel of the same thing IMO.This and I also think that he’s focusing on crimes that he’s committed or plans on committing.

Good to be king. Trump hotel DC and Maro Lago are bribery scams already.Yep, agree. - It probably should also be noted that supposedly Trump is trying to get rid of the law or enforcement of the law against bribery of foreign officials for business purposes.

As she should be. Murderers get lesser sentences.
Only the major ones. If you or I did something we’d rot in jail.it's sickening...the more corrupt you are the more old donny appreciates you. He's empowering white collar criminals across this country
Well played, Mrs. Blagojevich.his wife likened his treatment by DOJ to Trump's treatment and invoked Mueller and Comey.
The Kim Jong Gambit - play to the ego.Well played, Mrs. Blagojevich.
Really? Why?Blago is one of the most cut-and-dry cases of political corruption in recent years. That won't go over well with the "drain the swamp" crowd.
More like a zombie movie or Invasion of the Body Snatchers where more everyone gets infected and there's nobody left to fight.This is the scene in the movie where the main villain busts all of his villian buddies out of prison to spread mayhem.
A little late for that.Hasn't Charlie Manson suffered enough? When is it his turn? Shouldn't be long at this rate.
Maybe if he eventually LOCKS HER UP and then pardons her they will rethink their support. MAYBE.Yeah, it won't change a single vote.

Wait,wait,wait...you are expecting ethics By politicians? That’s like having rules in a knife fight.I won’t weigh in on the legality of it but ethically this is so disgusting
