He also pardoned Edward DeBartolo Jr today. The person who paid edwin edwards $250k for a gambling license.

Trump is feeling his power and it's a bad move. He talks about the swamp then pardons or commutes 3 swamp creatures today.

Are the libtards really going to bitch about Trump communing the sentence of a Democrat that was attempting to sell Obama’s state senate seat?

Kerik plead guilty for not reporting a loan and served his time. He was pardoned, and it really shouldn't ruffle any feathers (although libs will melt regardless). DeBartolo was in a similar situation. Trump was lobbied hard by guys like Jerry Rice on that one.
Blago was NOT pardoned. He had his 14 year sentence commuted. He's served 8 years for bribery and many agree that his original sentence was extremely harsh.

I think you a reading too much into all of this.

Just doing what the Dems and many of us want - releasing non-violent criminals. If they can let the drug dealers out then I'm good with letting these guys out. As long as they have served a considerable part of their sentence I'm okay with it. Times are a'changing.

He pardoning friends of his friends and his friends. Signaling pardoning Stone and Flynn which in all is not a great look.

Sounds like he's abusing his power of the pardon. Fire up the impeachment hearings!

All these people were convicted by the same shady teams that were involved in the Meuller coup attempt. Seems to be the common thread.

He's exercising his constitutional authority.

He's also doing it in the middle of an election season - not in the last few days of his administration.

He's also spinning up the media and the left so they will lose their minds about this shite while he continues to do other work.

Trump is pardoning his buddies. Bernard Kerik worked with Guiliani and the other dude that got his sentence commuted was on The Apprentice

This isn't rocket science.

"crooked"
"hate speech"
"impeachment"
"diversity"

What is what now? I don't trust anything I hear from the media. Nothing.

The guy did not rob, rape, or kill someone.

8 years is a long time to serve in jail. A real long time.

I just saw CBS Evening News attribute the President’s commutation of Blagojevich’s sentence to seeing the imprisoned former governor’s wife’s plea on (wait for it)...

Fox News.

I don’t think he will have many opportunities to pardon innocent people....
