Blagojevich was found guilty of 17 charges (including wire fraud, attempted extortion, and conspiracy to solicit bribes, attempting to extort the owners of the Tribune Company and to fire Chicago Tribune editors who criticized the governor's handling of state affairs. He was also charged with abuse of power concerning release of$8 million of state funds to Children's Memorial Hospital expecting to obtain a $50,000 campaign contribution. (sounds almost like a carbon copy of Trump's Ukraine affair). Also, seeking graft in the form of $2.5 million in campaign contributions (through 2008) from companies and individuals who have received state contracts or appointments.
It's nothing that Hillary Clinton hasn't done already, so why is it Trump is pardoning Blagojevich and not jailing Clinton?
