Durbin: I would support Blagojevich sentence reduction
By Luis Sanchez - 06/04/18 01:58 PM EDT

Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said on Monday that he would support reducing the sentence of former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich (D), according to the Chicago Sun-Times.

“I think that the sentence imposed on Rod Blagojevich was definitely way too long. Fourteen years, it didn’t make sense,” Durbin said at a Chicago press conference.

“And so I’m not commenting on whether he was culpable of guilt. That was decided by the courts, but I thought the sentence was outrageous, and if there’s a way to reduce the sentence for him and his family, I would support it,” Durbin added.

I don’t support it, but it’s not nearly as outrageous as the commutation for Manning’s espionage conviction.
I disagree.  Circle gets the square.

I wonder how that unctuous pr*ck Mike Madigan feels about it.  He should be in a cell next to Blago.
