    Trump commutes Roger Stone's sentence before three-year prison term was to begin​
    July 10, 2020
    President Trump on Friday commuted the three-year prison sentence for Republican operative Roger Stone, who was to report to a federal prison on Tuesday after being found guilty of obstruction, witness tampering and lying to Congress.

    By granting Stone clemency, rather than a full pardon, Trump ensures that his longtime friend will remain out of prison, though his criminal record will remain. . . .


    Admire Trump's decisive action.

    Really? President's do this all the time and they have the right. Suddenly t he public will be against it?Does anyone who isn't a partisan hack really care or know who Stone is? Would the country be safer if he was in jail? You lot have seriously lost the plot.

    Howard Fineman is the editor of the Huffington Post. As you can see from this tweet, he had spoken to Roger Stone right before Trump commuted his sentence. And, Stone got from Trump exactly as he wanted, a commutation, not a pardon.

    "He knows I was under enormous pressure to turn on him. It would have eased my situation considerably. But I didn't."

    I defy any Trump supporter here to defend that statement. Come on, try to come with something that will explain that in any other way than what this is. This is a blatant quid pro quo if there ever was.

    And I'm from Jersey. He's a twit and a slime, but considering the choices for the duopoly, who do you really think people are going to want in there? Excluding myself since I'll likely find a third party or a write-in to satisfy my wants for guiding this country, I really don't think people are liking the DNC choice, if he even remembers he's running for POTUS, eh?

    Third party, hearsay, via what, twitter, to a Huff Po journalist? Umm, yeah, that's rock solid.

    i suppose polls don’t matter because they can be manipulated and i suppose the electoral college don’t matter because it’s already been manipulated but if you poll the people on MEDICAL alone , it’s 65/35 for having the current coverage or greater. gop came up empty with a medical plan for the people. even the dumskis are wising-up.

    Why did Stone lie to investigators? Why lie if you're innocent?

    Can't wait for conservative heads to explode if a future leftist president does this sort of ****. They have no one to blame but themselves for setting the precedent if we don't make sure this kind of thing is illegal under the constitution and federal law.

    Consider
    How many Obama pardons resulted in a quick return to prison for new violent crimes.

    Big difference between Roger Stone and Obama's pardoned thugs.


    Yet today thugs get released over COVID but
    Not the Weinsteins nor Stones. Higher risk, non violent.

    Go Figure. I can't.

    3rd party my ass. He had a one-to-one "long talk" conversation (and it wasn't through Twitter) with Roger Stone and if Stone thinks that Howard Fineman is lying, he's free to sue Fineman.

    Apparently thin air is a good source for statistics? No question on the Republicans not having something to replace the PPACA, but then you also have people who see the PPACA for what it is. A captive audience gifted to the insurance companies, and at their mercy. The PPACA is detrimental to businesses, and does absolutely nothing to address the underlying cause for huge increases in medical and pharmaceutical costs.

    Yes, people are getting smarter, and that includes seeing what the PPACA is.
