Contestant on trumps apprenti and the seat that was vacated by barack obama. Trump yesterday was particularly critical of blagojevichs sentence. We have commuted the sentence of Rod Blagojevich. He searched eight years in jail. Its a long time. I watched his wife on television. I dont know him very well. Ive met him a couple times. He was on a short while the apprentice.

So hell be able to go back home with his family after serving eight years in jail. That i my opinion. And in the opinion of many others. The trump also pardoned former new york cit ....
