This makes no sense
Could it be that they are just buddies going back to The Apprentice?
I don't get this at all.
It would be essentially a harmless pardon/commutation, but still. The worst - so far - is Clinton's pardon of Mark Rich. Ford pardoning Nixon made people crazy at the time, but at least you can see the logic.

Neither does your post.
Blago got 14 years for trying to sell a Senate seat, which evidence amounted to a phone call saying a bunch of stupid things. That's too long. He's done seven years. That's enough. Open up a cell for real threats.
And if you really want to know why Trump is doing it, it's because he wants to remind Comey who's boss.
Of course you support him on this. You are just pathetic.

Maybe Blago knows things & Trump is hitting back? Who knows.
I am not in favor of letting him go, he is corrupt as they come. Though he is exactly the same as Barack Obama and the rest of the Chicago political Machine. Blago was simply the sacrificial lamb.
Exactly the same as Obama? Pleeease.

Sans the power, of course.

Makes perfect sense. Selling a senate seat would be something he would do.
Sees nothing wrong with it.
Plus, he'd obviously like to change the subject.
This is red meat for the media.
Trump likes Blago's hair?
