Long before his death this year (1/18), Rod Blagoyevich's PR exec, Glenn Selig - who has also did PR for Rick Gates and Elliott Broidy - discussed Blago's plight (here)...and he compared Blago to...wait for it...Martha Stewart: 🤔

"This is the same charge...to what Martha Stewart was convicted of & Martha...has done pretty well.." Selig said of the...diva who went back to being a...star after being convicted of conspiracy, obstruction of justice &, like Blagojevich, making false stmts to fed authorities"🙄

"Selig said one option for Blagojevich might be a program in which he talks about current issues the way Eliot Spitzer has done since a prostitution scandal forced him to resign as governor of New York."

Selig appears to have repped Blago when he did TheApprentice:

Rod Blagojevich headed to 'Apprentice'

Here in 1/10, Selig says "[Blagojevich] continues to receive offers and opportunities -- most of which he turns down because they are not the right fit,"

But Blago ended up doing it Spring, 2010.

Selig PR for Gates:

People like Gates and/or Broidy could have put Trump up to the "pardon Blago and Martha Stewart" strategy, but that's just my two cents. 😊

Gonna end my interruption of the beautiful @kelly2277's thread; yet before I go, I ask you to check out this thread - Selig's soc media had him in UAE and NY before his death for example - and this super weird thing that we just cannot let go: 🙄
