After four years of proving naysayers wrong, it's comical to see folks still suggest Trump doesn't know what he's doing and that they know better.

So the FBI ask you what color your car is and you answer red. The FBI charges you with lying to them because Ford says your car's color is Crimson. That is how unfair this shit is. Lots of people in jail for less crime than others who committed more crime are not in jail for.
I dunno about the Rod Blago case, but these other ones? "Lying to a Federal agent" shouldn't even be a chargeable offense. That's one law (among many) that should be removed from the books post haste.
The irony of being criminally charged with lying to a bunch of fvcking unscrupulous Deep State liars themselves is preposterous.

I don't think for a second Blago was set up. I think he was a POS shitcago politician that drew too much attention to shitcago politics or simply wasn't useful to anyone anymore. Could be that his association with Obama cast a negative shadow and he was removed for that reason alone.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.

As an Illinois resident, this really pisses me off.
1. people who said he would never be president
2. people who said he would tank the economy
3. people who said manufacturing jobs would never return
I have no opinion on the pardons other than I a couple of these punishments were excessive, but that also applies to a lot of people in jail right now.

Trump is an interesting mix of tough on crime and second chances.
I like that these are not hidden at the end of his term or after reelection, and don't seem to have any political gain. He deserves a lot of credit there even if I disagree. Perhaps we should punish truly non violent crime with something other than long prison time.
I'm pretty sure wishing old men rot away in prison because we disagree politically is wrong, for both sides. Would you honestly be as angry if it wasn't a Dem?
Oh man Blago...
This move I don’t understand. If there is any class or population of people who should be considered for second chances it’s absolutely NOT corrupt politicians government cronies.

Oh I don't know, just spitballing here, but does anyone think that Blago has any good will left for the Demrats who sent him up the river for 14 years for doing what Demrats have always done? Even if he doesn't come forth with any juicy tidbits Trump has mind f'cked them by setting him free, plus when they attack him for Republican pardons he has a defense "hey I set one of your guys free". Blago didn't deserve it but this is 4D chess, plus he just reminded everyone, f'ck with my people all you want but I have a pen.
