he's gonna have Blago campaign for him for re-election.
Blago's outside his house now holding a news conference and he's complemented Trump about 3 or 4 times now.
Blago a Dem says he's now a Trumpocrat. I wonder if this was his quid quo pro for being freed?

He did it because Blago was on his stupid TV show, and he heard Mrs. Blago crying on Fox "News." The only "help" Trump is getting out of this is that it is a distraction from all the other shit that's going on. And, it's an attempt cover his ass for his own quid pro quos.

Nothing wrong with Blago stealing from charity.
Trump is guilty of the same crimes and is trying to make them seem normal, okay.
