    Lol. Have you ever noticed the depths that people like you allow yourselves to sink to, as you steadily parrot any and all MAGA nonsense that somehow supports your Dear Leader?

    It's pretty sad, really. You should try to notice it...

    But in this thread you are disparaging this gentleman, who tendered his resignation over this Trumpy judicial malfeasance.

    Good job disparaging him. Congrats, I guess.


    “If no lawyer within earshot of the President is willing to give him that advice, then I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion,” Scotten added. “But it was never going to be me.

    Scotten, a Harvard law graduate awarded two bronze stars as a troop commander in Iraq, is a seasoned prosecutor who has handled several corruption cases in New York including three associates of former Mayor Rudy Giuliani. He has also worked on other cases, against Bishop Lamor Whitehead, who is close to Adams and was convicted at trial on multiple counts of fraud. Scotten was also a clerk to Chief Justice John Roberts.

    Why do you care? Big leader told you to?

    10 years ago you guys would have held Blago up as a metaphor for Democratic corruption and "The Chicago Machine". Can't figure if you people are dumb or just that shameless in your pom pom waving and fealty.

    You people??? I thought you libbies hated that phrase? I guess that’s only when it suits your narrative. If I’m not mistaken, Blago served the majority of his sentence. If Biden had done this you clowns wouldn’t be making an issue of it.

    He can go over and sit with those 50 former intelligence officers. All was fine with you guys and Adams until he dared to speak the obvious.


    Whatever depths I go to Jo I will never go down low enough to be in the murky waters of your misery.

    LOL!

    It's like deja Lawfare all over again!


    First, I'm not miserable - it's kind of fun watching the vileness MAGA promulgates.

    Second, you're like a Trumpy automaton, shilling for whatever hateful bile he is serving up at the moment; in this case the disparagement of our justice system and career prosecutors such as the 2 Time Bronze Star recipient I referenced. It doesn't get much lower than that.

    Oh wait - you voted for a felon rapist. So for you it does!

    I’m sorry, did I miss the part where he was charged and convicted of rape?? Or are you referring to that silly civil suit decades after the alleged incident. E. Jean Carrol, The Nutty Professor, and Anita Hill. Beacons of virtue to the left.

    What goalposts am I moving. You said “you people”, and I pointed out that that is a non-pc term. I could have feigned offense as so many libbies do.

    I don’t care to waste my time researching, but since Blago’s offense was 16 years ago, my guess is that he has served at least 75% of his sentence. I don’t have a problem with this pardon. It’s not like he pardoned Blago even before he was charged with anything.
    Personally, I think you should just walk away from this one. Anytime someone agrees with Jo it should be a red flag! Libbies thought they had an “I Gotcha” on Trump and once again it was a NothingBurger instead of a Whataburger!

    I'm so rent-free in your head that you refer to me when responding to other posters?

    Pretty sad, dude. Honestly.

    And that's not just my typical thrashing or mockery of you, that is honestly .. pretty .. sad.

    Blago served a good part of his sentence when Trump commuted it at the end of his first term. Maybe he issued a full pardon for Blago in effect absolving him of the crimes of which he was convicted as a prelude to appointing him ambassador to Serbia which would make him the second ambassador convicted of felonies and pardoned by Trump, Charles Kushner, Jared's father and Trump's appointed ambassador to France being the first.
