Illinois GOP delegation asks Trump not to pardon Blagojevich | TheHill

Illinois Republicans are pleading with President Trump not to pardon former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

The state’s GOP delegation in Washington signed a letter to Trump saying that clemency for the imprisoned Democrat would harm their efforts to combat corruption in the state.
===========================
Of course the Repubs don't want Trump to spring a Dem.

Gotta agree with the Illinois GOP on this one. Let Blago live with "CRIMINAL" stamped on his forehead for the rest of his life.
As for the "combat corruption" part....combatting corruption in this state is like trying to pull teeth from a hungry, unanesthetized tiger.
 
The guy absolutely should not get a pardon!
Please leave him in jail!


Blagojevich was overheard on a recorded phone call saying "I've got this thing, and it's f**king golden. I'm just not giving it up for f**king nothing." He was also recorded as saying, "it's a f**king valuable thing, you just don't give it away for nothing", and that "If I don't get what I want ... I'll just take the Senate seat myself."

On December 7, 2011, Blagojevich was sentenced to 14 years in prison.[7] He was also given two other concurrent sentences in addition to the 168-month sentence. Federal prison does not use parole; he must serve at least 85% of the 168-month sentence before becoming eligible to be given supervised release.[162] On March 15, 2012, Blagojevich reported to a federal prison in Colorado to begin serving his sentence. The Federal Bureau of Prisons currently lists Blagojevich's expected release date from prison May 23, 2024

Do you believe Alice Marie Johnson was a Republican?
