Blagojevich writes that today's Democrats would have impeached Lincoln
Posted January 02, 2020 12:00 am
Knowing his best chance at freedom still lies in the hands of President Donald Trump, former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has argued in a new column that Democrats in the U.S. House of Representatives today would have impeached Abraham Lincoln.
In the column, published Wednesday by Newsmax, Blagojevich acknowledged his own impeachment and went on to offer his "unique perspective about impeachment as I sit here in prison."
The 63-year-old Blagojevich, who was convicted on corruption charges, is not due to leave prison until March 2024. He and his wife, Patti, have been openly courting Trump for clemency for nearly two years.
