From WMAQ-TV:

Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich was seen moments before catching a flight back home to Illinois from Colorado—where he spent nearly eight years in prison prior to President Donald Trump's announcement to commute his sentence Tuesday morning—and he broke his silence.

"I want to express my most profound and everlasting gratitude to President Trump, he didn’t have to do this," he told NBC 5 at the airport Tuesday evening.

"He’s a Republican president, I was a Democratic governor, my fellow Democrats have not been very kind to him but in fact they’ve been very unkind to him and what he did was I think something that deserves a great amount of appreciation on my part, personally…I can’t wait to get home, I miss my daughters, I miss my wife, I miss home," he said.

...After months of speculation, Trump finally made the announcement as he prepared to board Air Force One Tuesday morning.

“Yes, we commuted the sentence of Rod Blagojevich," Trump said. "He served eight years in jail, a long time. He seems like a very nice person - don’t know him.”

Trump cited Blagojevich's family as part of the reason for his decision.

"[His daughters are] getting into high school and they rarely get to see their father outside of an orange uniform," Trump said. "I saw that and I did commute the sentence so he’ll be able to go back home with his family after serving eight years in jail.”

Blagojevich said despite the different party affiliations, "he’s got obviously a big fan in me and if you’re asking me what my party affiliation is, I’m a ‘Trump-o-crat’," he added.

So Rod Blagojevich is a free man, thanks to President Trump. He's grateful. That makes sense.

Of course, the Democrats/Socialists and their media partners are outraged. That makes sense, too. No matter what the president does, they criticize him.

Where were these Democrats when Obama commuted the sentence of terrorist Oscar Lopez-Rivera?

No outrage over that.
