llinois Republicans recoil over possibility Trump commutes disgraced Democrat Rod Blagojevich’s prison sentence
FRIDAY, AUG 9
Leading elected Illinois Republicans recoiled at the prospect that President Donald Trump would commute disgraced former Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s 14-year prison sentence and warned it could put the GOP in a deeper hole in next year’s state elections.
Illinois House Republican leader Jim Durkin of Western Springs said that in considering relief for the former Democratic governor, the Republican president was acting out of his own political self-interest and was attempting to make Blagojevich a “folk hero” while continuing to grind a personal ax against a federal Justice Department that investigated Trump and his former 2016 campaign.
And in Washington, the five GOP members of the state’s congressional delegation issued a joint statement saying a Trump commutation would set a “dangerous precedent and goes against the trust voters place in elected officials.”
“When you have these actions at the top of the ticket, that come right home here in Illinois … people are going to question Republicans up and down. It just doesn’t help our jobs,” Durkin, a former prosecutor who was the lead GOP member in the decade-old House impeachment proceedings, said.
