    Was Roger Stone posting that statement? A 'journalist' for a clearly left leaning publication claims someone said something, and posts it on twitter.
    Bridges are a dime a dozen.

    You are stone-cold dead wrong about President Barack Obama pardons. Past presidents have used their pardon powers in a principled way, even when it was unpopular. Gerald Ford granted amnesty to draft dodgers of the Vietnam War. President Barack Obama used clemency for non-violent drug offenders.

    But Trump, he hasn't used his pardon power in any sort of principled way. He has abused his pardon power to forgive others who he decided were 'unjustly' accused. He used his pardon power to benefit popular right-wing figures and to reward his friends for not snitching on him. This is precisely why Trump commuted Stone's sentence, it was only to prevent Stone from snitching on him, a clear quid-pro-quo.

    It's sickening to see how this country has been hijacked by a sociopathic racketeer. And it's even more sickening to see people like those here who defend him and excuse his abhorrent behavior. Shame on all of you.

    four swingstates resulted in just above the threshold number of a manual recount. a mathematical improbability. the intelligence hasn’t reported this yet because it can’t. “sweeping and systemic “ was mueller’s words. it’ll all come out.

    Trump has issued about forty pardons/commutations. His prison overhaul will grant early release to tens of thousands of prisoners, the majority of which are minorities. And grant more fair sentences to all convictions going forward. Libby is just one guy. The justifications for his commutation as stipulated by press spokeswoman McEnany are reasonable.

    In a lengthy statement released late Friday, White House press secretary Kayleigh McEnany said the president had made the decision to commute Stone's sentence "in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial."

    “Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency,” McEnany said in a statement Friday night. “There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia. Such collusion was never anything other than a fantasy of partisans unable to accept the result of the 2016 election. The collusion delusion spawned endless and farcical investigations, conducted at great taxpayer expense, looking for evidence that did not exist.”

    McEnany added that Mueller’s office “resorted to process-based charges leveled at high-profile people in an attempt to manufacture the false impression of criminality lurking below the surface.”

    “These charges were the product of recklessness borne of frustration and malice,” she said.

    McEnany touted Stone’s career in politics, noting that he worked for nearly 50 years as a consultant for high-profile Republican politicians, including former President Ronald Reagan, Sen. Bob Dole and others, while noting that Stone is also known for "his outspoken support for President Donald J. Trump and opposition to Hillary Clinton."

    McEnany went on to blast Mueller’s prosecutors for the fashion in which they arrested Stone, noting he is a “67 year old man with numerous medical conditions, who had never been convicted of another crime, and that they used “dozens of FBI agents with automatic weapons and tactical equipment, armored vehicles, and an amphibious unit to execute a pre-dawn raid of his home, where he was with his wife of many years.”

    McEnany went on to add that Stone would “be put at serious medical risk in prison.”

    Stone was set to report to prison on July 14 to serve 40 months. He was sentenced in February to more than three years in prison after being convicted in November 2019 on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress. Stone, however, has appealed his conviction and continues to deny any wrongdoing.

    "He has appealed his conviction and is seeking a new trial. He maintains his innocence and has stated that he expects to be fully exonerated by the justice system," McEnany said. "Mr. Stone, like every American, deserves a fair trial and every opportunity to vindicate himself before the courts.”

    She added: “The President does not wish to interfere with his efforts to do so. At this time, however, and particularly in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial, the President has determined to commute his sentence."

    “Roger Stone has already suffered greatly,” she added. "He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!”

    No! YOU are so very wrong!

    Obama gave pardons, not commute a sentence. Pardon evaporates criminal record.
    Some of Obama's pardons were soon involved in violent crime and back in prison.
    Obama should have included future crimes too LOL

    The opponent is on every channel, hard to miss what they are saying. I don't believe there is such a thing as neutral news anymore, there used to be and we miss it.

    checkout the media bias charts and see how down-right your sources sit. i tend to go with pbs and cbs, both top-dead-center. i’ll never post a link to any radical source.

    We have had a lot of close elections in our history and the last one was no exception but it wasn't rigged. The EC functioned as it is intended to do. When will this all come out?

    Just from your own experience with your sources, how many positive reports on Trump do you see per week? You know, agreeing with him, praising his work?

    nothing.

    i mean i see it in jest but nothing serious. cbs often plays his clips with no commentary. they’re finally calling out his untruths because they have a reputation to uphold. hell, even fox entertainment is.

    Maybe some that were pardoned for drug possession or minor crimes committed more serious crimes AFTER they were pardoned. Trump's mob committed their sedition and crimes against the United States BEFORE they were pardoned. THAT IS THE DIFFERENCE!

    And these Liberals are in personal contact with Stone and Stone would let that information leak? I have a bridge to nowhere in Alaska to sell you. Even if that were the conversation,Stone is not your typical dumb criminal he wouldn't let that info leak.
