Impeached Donald Trump and impeached Rod Blagojevich are corrupt kindred spirits

It should not surprise anyone that President Donald Trump would commute former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s prison sentence. Corrupt politicians do favors for other corrupt politicians all the time.

Trump and Blagojevich are kindred spirits. The only difference is that Trump has gotten away with his corruption so far and Blagojevich didn’t.

Recently coming off his own impeachment trial, Trump likely was feeling more generous with his commutation powers this time around, compared with the past when he dangled a “get out of jail free” card over Blagojevich’s head and snatched it back.

Trump finally realized that the disgraced governor whom he once fired on his reality television show “Celebrity Apprentice” was more like him than he knew. Both had a penchant for suckering enough people to vote them into office and then selfishly using their position to promote their personal agenda.
