    Major warnings from Republicans in Illinois delegation, bluntly telling Trump not to free Blago, saying it would reopen old wounds and send the wrong message about corruption in politics. “Stupid,” one R says. w/@KilloughCNNhttps://www.cnn.com/2018/06/08/politics/illinois-gop-blagojevich/index.html …

        LaHood: "I would stress to the admin in the strongest possible terms that pardoning or commuting the sentence of Rod Blagojevich would be a mistake.” Kinzinger: “I think pardoning Blagojevich would be stupid.” Davis: “There were probably not enough charges to bring” against Blago

        This is exactly the kind of message that Trump WANTS to send: "Corruption = just fine. Cover for me = even better. I am the gatekeeper. I am justice." He'll do it or pardon someone else just as bad.

        He lives for the controversy. He'd probably love to divide the GOP too.

        He’d do it to dare them to decry his action. The Rs waited too long to turn on him. He is getting comfortable in his power. That’s dangerous.

        He absolutely would love to divide the @GOP . They don't see that even though his love for "The Snake" parable told them and his voters he will turn on them. Dividing the party would allow more Trumpublicans to primary incumbents. He wants loyalty to him, not the party.

        Sadly, I believe that’s exactly the message he wants to send about corruption in politics. Normalize it.

        Well great. His pardon is as good as done, since Dump does the opposite of what he's told...🙄

        If you're a Democrat and you're calling others stooped, look at your leader before casting stones.

        So in true Trump fashion, Blago will be free next week. He has an agenda & he doesn’t care what the Republicans or anyone else has to say.

        Do you think trump is sending a message with the majority of his pardons being those guilty of corruption?
