        "Pirro then went on to suggest that Hot Rod was being punished for “just kind of practicing politics.” If this doesn’t quite sound right, it may be because you have a brain and a memory." Thank you.

        There is no question what Blago did was wrong, but the sentence was way too long. The judge has had it out for him just like judge in the Meek Mill case. A local tv person said 99% of judges and attorneys would agree the sentence was not right. I agree.

        To Trump he is, because he’s a crook who got in trouble for gritting and abusing his power.

        Matt, it’s not about Blagojevich’s guilt vs innocence or if his prison sentence was appropriate. This all about cultivating the seed that DOJ/prosecutors often over reach and treat political defendants improperly

        "This guy is a creep so if he was treated unfairly by our judicial system for political reasons - screw him." Is not "conservative". #Blagojevich

        Meh, Blago and Martha are diversions. Consider them a sop to the left so they can't get their panties in a bunch over pardoning a few on the right.
