  1. Trump isn't draining the swamp, he's pardoning the swamp, for his own benefit. After Blagojevich was pardoned by Trump and released from prison, he brought up Trump's so called passionate sense of justice for people of color. 😆 Really? In June 2019, Trump said that he would not apologize for his harsh comments in 1989 about the Central Park Five, the five black and Latino teenagers who were wrongly convicted in NY. More than a decade after the exoneration of the five teens, Trump indicated in an interview just last year, that he still doesn’t accept their innocence. Nor does he think he owes them an apology for publicly calling for their executions. The teenagers were exonerated by DNA evidence and a confession from the true perpetrator in 2002, 13 years after they were vilified by prosecutors and in the press after being charged and convicted. On May 1, 1989, as the case was headed to trial, Trump spent $85,000 placing a full-page ad in four newspapers, calling for the young men accused of the crime to be executed. “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” the ad proclaimed in enormous capital letters. Below, in smaller text, Trump ranted, “I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand them, I am looking to punish them." The Central Park Five have now been found innocent, after serving 7 to 13 years in prison for a crime they didn't commit. But just last year, Trump stated that he still doesn’t accept their innocence. Nor does he think he owes them an apology for publicly calling for their executions. So Trump doesn't feel that they were treated unfairly at all, even though they were innocent. Blagojevich however, is very much guilty as charged. But in Trump's diseased mind, Blagojevich is the victim, and was somehow treated unfairly, but the Central Park Five weren't. 😲 As Governor, Blagojevich tried to sell a seat in the Senate to the highest bidder, like hawking a stolen television off the back of a truck.  Blagojevich was also convicted of extorting a children's hospital. Blagojevich tried to take back an $8 million contribution the state made to Children's Memorial Hospital, because the hospital's CEO would not make a campaign donation to the governor. Now let that sink in for a moment. That sounds exactly like something that Trump would do. After all, Trump was caught operating a fake charity foundation for his own financial gain.

  2. Blagojevich should be thrown back in prison for claiming that he was a political prisoner. That's the type of mentality that got him locked up to begin with.
