Rod Blagojevich: Charges against Trump are ‘dangerous’ | On Balance

Former President Donald Trump lashed out at prosecutors as his civil case entered closing arguments, calling the case “fraud” against him. Prosecutors are seeking $370 million in damages and asking Trump and his sons to be barred from doing business in New York. Rod Blagojevich, the former governor of Illinois whose prison sentence for corruption charges was commuted by Trump, said the “politicization of the courts” is “destroying our democracy.”

Trump pardoned him. His opinion doesn’t matter to me.

How to lose creditability….pay a crook to go on air to talk about another crook🙃

Big L for this one!

Did you hear about Fani Willis DA in Atlanta?
She approved a new lawyer that has never held a trial. He has just used trial for people that has wrecks, etc.
Fani hired him to prosecute Trump, they took vacations to several high $ trips and of course her lawyer she appointed was paying for everything. They have supposed fired her, but Trumps trial should be dropped including Judge Engoron!
I don't know why it hasn't worked its way into Trumps trial but I haven't seen proof of it!
Also in Hunters case, JPF has an thing about Hunter showing up at the Congress meeting and I'm sure Joe is the one that told Hunter they were talking about his case?

This guy that trump commuted the sentence of 🤔

"Former Illinois Democrat Gov. Rod R. Blagojevich was sentenced today to 14 years in federal prison following his conviction at trials in 2010 and 2011 on 18 felony counts of corruption during his tenure as governor, including his effort in 2008 to illegally trade the appointment of a United States Senator in exchange for $1.5 million in campaign contributions or other personal benefits. Blagojevich was also sentenced for shaking down the chief executive of a children’s hospital for $25, 000 in campaign contributions in exchange for implementing an increase to pediatric reimbursement rates; holding up the signing of a bill to benefit the Illinois horse racing industry in an attempt to illegally obtain $100, 000 in campaign contributions; and lying to the FBI in 2005."

Remember if you fill out a loan form and you own a property Remember you're allowed to make up the number that your property is worth if the ex president does it its not a crime

[WanderingSoul]

When I woke up this morning my first thought had me wondering if I would ever get the satisfaction of hearing Rod Blagojevich's opinion ever again and would you look at that, my mates over at NewsNation came through bigtime and delivered what the people want.
Thanks NewsNation!
