Trump has commuted Roger Stone's sentence.

EDIT: Yet to see it being reported anywhere else, however.

1. There's gonna be a revolt at the DOJ. Barr warned him.

3. Because of course he did... to stop him talking, as another thread pointed out.

Stop him talking to whom? The trial is over. He was found guilty. Trump commuted the sentence of 40 months to time served.

6. Of course he did.

That way Stone doesn't have to admit guilt and still doesn't have to serve his prison sentence. It's like what Bush II did for Scooter Libby.

The trial is over. He was found guilty.

18. So far, dude is the only one saying the sentence was commuted

Since they all lie, I'll wait for legit confirmation.

14. If a dem did this, mass shootings in the streets.

You mean like in Chicago? Philly? DC? Detroit? Atlanta? Seattle?

Major U.S. cities, gripped with crisis, now face spike in deadly shootings, including of children

Tragedies struck in urban centers thousands of miles apart, with 65 people shot over the weekend in New York and 87 in Chicago, and homicides climbing from Miami to Milwaukee. Though the summer months in the United States often augur more violence, the recent toll has been particularly devastating in communities where the victims included young children.

29. Couldn't deal with the comments on Twitter.

They made me sick. It's really hard to believe that there are so many stupid, evil, corrupt people in this country.

They don't give a damn about justice. It's all about pissing off the Liberals for them, even if they screw themselves over in the process.

36. "The president may not use the pardon power to place himself above the law" (Project Democracy)

That's exactly what Trump is doing. Trump is commuting Roger Stone's sentence to impede an investigation into himself, and influence or tamper with a witness’s testimony. This is obstruction of justice.

Stone's sentence was commuted. He was convicted of lying to Congress. Is there a high-level Obama era FBI official involved in the Russia Shamvestigation who did not lie when testifying before Congress about the Shamvestigation? And probably much more materially than Stone? Prosecuting Stone only nourished and revealed agenda.

Adam Schiff was and is guilty of lying to congress and to the American people every time he speaks at the podium, that is also true for most liberals.
