CST: One of the last chances for former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to win early release from federal prison rests on a pending decision by the man whose Senate seat Blagojevich was convicted of trying to sell: President Barack Obama.
Blagojevich, 60, is in the fourth year of a 14-year prison term. He recently submitted a request to have his sentence on wide-ranging corruption convictions commuted, the U.S. Department of Justice has confirmed.
Obama has rarely mentioned his fellow Chicago Democrat since Blagojevich’s December 2008 arrest, a month after Obama won the presidency, so it’s hard to gauge if he’d give Blagojevich’s request for a reduced sentence serious thought. MORE
Free him? I’m hoping Obama joins him.
Old Barky will free him, after all, he stood to get some bling from the sale also!
No way he’ll free him. I’m sure the price Obama’s going to get from the Clinton Foundation for a family pack of pardons puts the price way beyond this puke’s reach.
Blago “tried” to sell a government position, and got 14 years in prison.
Hillary “DID sell” government positions, federal contracts and sold access to those who make decisions…..She hasn’t even been indicted, let alone convicted.
May obama treat you as he has every friend of the US; with betrayal.
If Blagojevich had sold drugs to children while carrying a weapon or an illegal immigrant who had murdered and raped underage girls, he would have been released by Obama.
However, Nothing Obama, the American hater, does will surprise me anymore.
Afterthought: if I was a sleaze bag like Bloggy, the last thing I’d want is for the public to know how low life I am that I beg for a pardon. Makes me think that obama has become incommunicado to Bloggy. Aaahhh the shifty, slip-slidey ways of the left. It is especially wonderful to watch them stab each other.
It depends on what he can/will blab about BO.
Is Blago ‘black’? N
Is Blago a muslim? N
Is Blago a Marxist? N
Is Blago a sodomist? N
Does Obola benefit financially? M
Was Blago in NBA or Motown? N
TILT
Blago had the goods on Obama but the Chitcago Democrap regime kept the lid on it to protect the anointed one leaving him hanging in the wind. Remember the evidence the court refused to hear?
Professional courtesy. One career criminal politician to another.
Bath house barry’s buddy. Will he do it?
