Dropping charges against New York City Mayor Eric Adams who has been accused of graft and pardoning convicted former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich and then signing an Executive Order allowing U.S. companies to bribe overseas officials in order to get business is just wrong. We understand that some of this is a rebound on the lawfare that was practiced against Trump, and some is a quid pro quo for cooperation with I.C.E., but it’s a step, or three, too far. Bribing state officials here and abroad is wrong. Period. Finally, we note that four of the past ten Illinois Governors served time for fraud or corruption. Some people deserve to be prosecuted and go to jail.
