    Well, why the **** not? The end is near.... Pardons and Commutations aplenty coming.

    I wonder why no pardon?? Do they think this looks BETTER than a pardon?

    I believe commutation still means Stone is a Felon, BTW...

    It's possible he wants to give offended leftists ulcers in two stages. First the commutation and then after they have all settled down and bound after other squirrels he just might laugh at them and issue the man a pardon. Have patience.

    GOOD. Everyone...including Democrats....should have a fair trial. When the jury forewoman and the judge are political hacks and biased against the accused, commutation is warranted.

    Trump was certainly hinting at helping him. Maybe it does look better than a pardon, but like Scooter Libby, the national optics are not good

    I agree he did, but I would not say it was for the better.

    This is convicted terrorist Susan Rosenberg, she sits on the Board of Directors for the fundraising arm of Black Lives Matter. She was convicted for the 1983 bombing of the United States Capitol Building, the U.S. Naval War College and the New York Patrolmen's Benevolent Association. She was released from prison after serving 16 years of her 58-year prison sentence when Bill Clinton commuted her sentence on his last day in office.

    To start, his hiring of his children to be on staff, he should man up and release his taxes, he did not divest himself, he charges the Secret Service to stay at his hotel, he put Putin above USA intelligence agencies, his foreign policy throughout the ME is a failure, just to start.

    And now this. He does everything by executive order only. He is by far the most thin skinned pres ever.

    What's funny about an unindicted criminal suspect being president and abusing the powers of that office to pardon and commute the sentences of his accomplices?

    I don't think you'd be banned for admitting how wrong you've been.

    Excellent report... a solid B minus, with points taken off for not providing a link...

    BTW, she was convicted of explosives and firearms possession, but nice try with the gaslight...
