Been kinda curious how this all makes sense. No question Blagojevich is a deep state swamp rat. I'm assuming that he has dirt on these people. Mueller, Comey, etc, and he's willing to share it.

ah, the best way to send them a message is to arrest them, prosecute them, throw em away for decades of prison time

So, Blagojevich says in his remarks after his release that he believes in second acts.
Here's a quote from an October 2017 article about him:
When I ask Blagojevich about his future, he gets uneasy. I ask him in different ways. Each time, he answers vaguely and grudgingly or changes the subject. The following is an abridged version of those responses:
“My elder daughter accuses me of being excessively optimistic, but I do believe in second acts. I do believe some of the greatest inspiration stories that help other people are those who have come back from the deepest, darkest valleys and have been able to work their way to a good place on the mountain, not necessarily on top of the mountain, but maybe way up high. I do believe that. I think of the story of David in the Bible. I’m not saying that’s me. This is David. But he had faith. And during those dark periods in the wilderness, he’s preparing, because he senses that there could be something. And he trusts in God. A lot of how I look at my time here is being in the wilderness and having the faith to not ever let them make me give up, but to prepare in my time here for what I believe could be a better day.”

I like redemption stories. I hope Rod B finds his by being true to what he says here. And if his redemption involves helping to drain the swamp, well, so much the better.

I can't remember why but my SO and I were talking about just this thing months ago. We live along the border of Illinois and we won't cross over there because of their strict gun laws. We were talking about Rod and whether he was talking to POTUS and others about the corruption during the years he was governor and what evidence he could testify to, to get out of prison early and here it has happened. He especially knows all about Obama I am sure. It will be interesting to see if he testifies in any of the corruption trials coming up.

I think Trump likes justice. He knows more than we do about B, & I presume he feels 8 years was enough. He probably also questions those we know who put Blagojevich in prison.

Okay, @El_Syd, you’re probably right. I didn’t pay much attention 8 years ago to his case. But, I was watching the video of him being interviewed and at about 5:15 minutes he was asked what he was going to do now and he said , “ ...fight corrupt people in government...” (paraphrasing) My immediate thought is this goes much deeper. The house of cards is starting to implode. He didn’t say it in a vindictive way more in an, “I’m going to expose the corruption”, way.

All we have is the 'packaged story' by the MSM, who is the enemy of the Truth.
