People are saying that all he did was have a perfect phone call.

Quote:The prosecutors who helped convicted Blagojevich issued a stern statement in response to the commutation, noting that while the president has to the right to commute his sentence, the former governor committed serious crimes. The prosecuting team reminded the public that the former governor extorted the CEO of a children's hospital, withholding funds for sick children until he issued campaign contributions.

Were those Democratic children or Republican? Total silence from the MSM about that.

1. Fired both Vindman brothers, presumably because Alexander Vindman testified against him.
2. Fired Gordon Sondland, presumably because he testified against him.
3. Interfered with the sentencing of Roger Stone.
4. Has insisted that he learned no lesson from his impeachment and that there was nothing wrong with his call (defying the expectations of several Republican Senators who were convinced that he learned a lesson on what kind of behavior will get you impeached).
5. Admitted that he did indeed send Giuliani to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden (not a new revelation that he did it, but the first time he's actually admitted to the blatantly obvious).
6. Casually accused Mueller of lying to Congress (A federal crime).
7. Said that he had the "legal right" to interfere with any legal case he likes.
8. Appears to be working with Barr to re-evaluate/review/scrutinize several cases of his former employees who have been convicted of crimes while openly opining about pardoning Stone and Flynn if their cases hold up.
9. Pardoned several people who just so happened to be convicted of some form of corruption.

We have an outright authoritarian on our hands, guys.

Since Barr took over as AG, the SDNY investigations into Trump & family's Russian financing has also stopped cold.

Let's not forget that he pardoned Joe Arpaio too.

Suddenly thousands of judges and prosecutors "hate" Trump!
