This is the governor who got pardoned by Trump, right?

President Trump issued a spree of clemency decisions Tuesday for high-profile figures -- most notably commuting the sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, a Democrat who was convicted for attempting to sell Barack Obama's vacant Senate seat when he was elected president.

After he spent 10 years? in prison. The pardon was part of a wide sweeping policy change towards non-violent crime iirc.

He's the governor who got "caught" selling Obama's senate seat. But the more likely thing is, Obama was the one selling it and either it was discovered and he was the fall guy, or Obama was selling it and got mad than another person tried to sell it.

Obama’s corruption is huge but very discreet.You would never know there were bad things about that guy if you just watch CNN and MSNBC.
