        In an EXCLUSIVE scoop, @PhilipWegmann notes that Blagojevich wants lawmakers to see prison how he does. The convicted former governor asks Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell, R-Ky., to bring the Trump-backed First Step Act to the floor for a vote.https://washex.am/2zY0nDq

        To read the letter without some cynicism is impossible. The author, after all, is the slick-talking, palm-greasing convicted governor currently serving a 14-year sentence for 17 criminal counts, including a scheme to auction off the vacated Senate seat of former President Obama.pic.twitter.com/MRrwTB2L5r

        But Blagojevich has undeniably changed. His helmet hair has turned snow white. His expensive suits are long gone, replaced by prison-issue khakis and work shirts. Most importantly, his fast-talking, self-serving demeanor of the past is notably absent from his letter to McConnell.pic.twitter.com/7QlZ8eT7oI

        Prisoner Blagojevich regrets that Gov. Blagojevich cared more about his rising political stock than prisoners:“Back then, I didn't see the issue of crime and punishment the way I see it now. I saw a convicted criminal...I didn't look past him" He asks McConnell not to do the samepic.twitter.com/jxZDxFe41f

        "While almost all of them are in one way or another guilty of the crimes they are here for, and should most certainly be held accountable, I have been surprised by what I've learned,” Blagojevich insists.“A large number of these men are not bad men.” https://washex.am/2zY0nDq pic.twitter.com/QQLNezDTUX

        “I have since learned that behind most of the inmates...are good people who love them and who have been forced to live their own kind of nightmare alone and at home" he writes.

        Perhaps prisoner #40892-424 will become one of the greatest advocates for reform yet. READ THE FULL STORY HERE:https://washex.am/2zY0nDq
