Terrible

You think this guy would want to be with family. Not the press

Not hardly because you were the problem

Another Democrat to have his party leave him🤗

He can declare himself a ham sandwich and it doesn't mean shit. Democrats in Illinois voted him out of office and were glad to see him go to prison. They're not gonna turn around and listen to this sad sorry excuse for a con man's ball carrier.

Trump's response:

Did you forget to mention the list of 70 PARDONS that Obama did? Or is that DIFFERENT ?

Another slug out to do 45’s bidding

Now Trump owns this crooked man.

Poor man!!

I'm sure that toad will find room in Trump's swamp..

Blago knows where the Democrats are hiding the bodies.

What a putz.

Trump is a sanctuary President. I thought liberals/progressives didn’t like law enforcement. What’s the problem now?!

Mexico is not sending us their best people.....but.........uhhh...........the federal pen is? blago LightsOut

Corruption breads corruption. Restocking the swamp.

i disagree with trumps decision on this turds sentence.

YEA WASNT YOUR PAYING HIM BILLIONS TO GET OUT OF COURSE

and a PIG.

He said tRump has a 'kind heart.' Yeah, we're def seeing that at the border.

Bought & paid for, now you can't shut him up!!!

To all the libs. Obama commuted the sentences of terrorists..

Ew.

There are millions of { Trumpocrats }👏👏👏

Can the medal of freedom be far away?

'Trump-ocrat' would literally mean 'ruled by Trump.'

Ass

Republicans must be so honored to have him. 😣

He took the fall for Obummer. Trump did the right thing regardless of his party affiliation.

Enjoy the rest of your life as Trumpcrat ! Might rival the hopelessness of jail 🤷🏻‍♀️

Mike Bloomberg is also a Trump-ocrat.

Trumpocrat

NOBODY will PARDON the DEEP STATE ANTI-TRUMP CONSPIRACY'S. Don't worry

Is that the same thing as a criminal?

**BARF**

Grifters stick together!

Boy he looks rough… I won’t judge this decision. I haven’t made any mistakes like this in my life and don’t plan to, but I have compassion for his family. Crook or not, everyone in this Country deserves criminal justice reform.
