So Blagojevich thinks he was politically persecuted?

Not quite! He is a criminal who thought he could make money off those he served! Once a crook, always a crook! Just like, once impeached, always impeached!

1. Of course he does. He's crooked.

8. He's also a

malignant narcissist like his savior.

12. Maybe he had a bad childhood.

13. IMHO most people just out of prison

would avoid everyone and everything, hide away with family. You know keep a low profile. Must have the trump defective human condition. Sad.

2. GUILTY ON 17 COUNTS OF CORRUPTION

[former9thward]

11. No, 12 charges.

The convictions relating to the Obama senate seat were tossed out by 7th circuit court of appeals. When Judge Zagel sentenced Blago to 14 years he relied heavily on those convictions. During re-sentencing Zagel refused to reduce the sentence. That is the main reason most attorneys felt the sentence was severe with no rational reason. Senator Durbin in 2018 said Blago should be released then because the sentence was far too long.

3. Of course he thinks that. Blagojevich is the poor man's Trump.

Egotistical as hell. He probably has convinced himself he is totally innocent in the same way Trump thinks that the Ukraine call was perfect and it is just a witch hunt after him.

10. Blagojevich is not Trump--$$$ or not.

He has a decent family and isn’t a known rapist or philanderer. Some of the charges against him were politically motivated and the sentence was excessive in relation to the actual “crime”.

The “lock them up” mentality is barbaric—people seem to just want people to stay in jail literally forever. The concept of punishment fitting crime is lost.

4. Watch him go to work for Trump's campaign.

Guaranteed.

7. Probably part of the deal.

9. +1

already started with the boot licking in a sound byte yesterday.

5. So, some dumb idget will give him a job paying zillions n/t

Pisses me off! Flipping burgers would be too good for this pardoned crew of criminals.

6. they will brazen out

like their flabby love god.
