Trump on commuting sentence for Blagojevich: "It was a prosecution by the same people -- Comey, Fitzpatrick -- the same group." pic.twitter.com/gXigT20Fdc— Aaron Rupar (@atrupar) February 18, 2020
Trump is commuting the 14-yr sentence of former IL Gov. Rod Blagojevich even though Illinois Republicans have told him it sets a very bad precedent. Some folks might think Trump even encourages corruption. But I think we all know in our hearts that Trump cares deeply about corruption.
He just doesn't disapprove of it, is all. It all comes down to who is doing it.
Trump also says he’s pardoned Bernie Kerik, who appeared on Fox News last night.

It's who you know that matters, in his world. And he makes sure that the message is sent: guys like Comey and them? They are not the law. He is.
As he is defending AG Barr, Trump declares himself "the chief law enforcement officer of the United States." (Actually that's the attorney general)

UPDATE: And Michael Milken and David Safavian, too.
