Perhaps it was his 7% approval that indicated how much backing he had across the board.

You don’t need “threads from back then.” If your assertion is correct, you should easily be able to find links to support it.
Absolutely not. Not just no but hell no. Let him rot.[quote=“Camp, post:1, topic:1838, full:true”]
This is a very interesting topic. That he was removed as Governor I would be OK with, but the criminal time he has served IS an outrage.
“I’ll tell you another one … there’s another one that I’m thinking about. Rod Blagojevich,” Trump said, according to a pool report. “Eighteen (sic) years in jail for being stupid and saying things that every other politician, you know that many other politicians say.”
“And if you look at what he said, he said something to the effect like, ‘What do I get?’ … Stupid thing to say. But he’s sort of saying … he’s gonna make a U.S. senator, which is a very big deal,” Trump said. “If you read his statement, it was a foolish statement. There was a lot of bravado. … Plenty of other politicians have said a lot worse. He shouldn’t have been put in jail.”
Good call President Trump. Make it happen.

That’s total ■■■■■■■■■ and you know it. For ■■■■■■ sake, Rahm Emanuel, of all people, was one of the individuals who blew the whistle on him. If it’s true, if “liberals were screaming his innocence and bloody murder” in the general way you’re claiming, could you produce some mainstream liberals, in government or in the media, who were “screaming” this? Because I can sure as ■■■■ produce evidence that liberals thought he was a corrupt piece of ■■■■■

Personal profit or not influence peddling is an egregious offense in a republic.
Didn’t Emmanuel try to curry a favor with Blago to name his choice of successor? Lol
Oh, that. Oopse.
Anything Trump is so cool with Trump supporters! Who ever thought being a hypocrite could be so fun…

Which is why State AGs will have to prosecute some of these lawbreakers for breaking state laws. .

Corrupt government officials should be put away for life. Dude is on tape trying to sell out you and me. ■■■■ him. Let him rot.

Trump’s New Republican Party is based primarily on peer pressure and fear of not being associated with the in crowd. Weak-minded folks and gullible fools are super susceptible to those kinds of things.
On the upside, Trump is draining the swamp (prisons) by releasing all the inmates, so I guess that’s one campaign promise he’s going to keep.
Tough to keep track of all that President Trump has done.
The economy is so strong it hurts.
We can let Blago out and see if there will be a collusion delusional to take his place.
So Trump is right to want to give him a commutation but Clinton doing so would have been obviously corrupt? Fascinating.
Why are you so sure Clinton would have expelled a potential rival?
I think she would have cackled with delight while Blago languished in the pokey serving every second of his fraudulent sentence.
Something I read about Martha Stewart’s pardon…she told someone that she would refuse it if offered.
I also read that it’s not possible to “refuse” a pardon,
This absolutely didn’t happen. What happened is cons were asserting without evidence that Obama was involved somehow and liberals rightly pointed out it was a load of BS.
