In 2008, Illinois Governor, Rod Blagojevich was charged with corruption. He conspired to commit several 'pay-to-play' schemes. Blagojevich had the authority to appoint someone to fill the vacated
U. S. Senate seat by Barrack Obama when Obama was elected President. Blagojevich was sentenced to 14-years in federal,prison.
President Donald J. Trump withheld tax payers monies approved by the United States Congress for Ukraine's defense and security. Trump, like Blagojevich used his authority to offer a bribe to the Ukrainian government. Trump told Ukraine's President that he would release the monies if the Ukrainian President publicly announced that they were investigating the 2016 election interference by Ukraine, which has been debunked and investigate Joe Biden and his son, Hunter.
Obviously, Trump should be impeached and removed from office but furthermore, he should go to prison. Now we know why Trump is considering a Presidential pardon for Blagojevich.
