I'm not surprised at this example of how corrupt trump is. The last few years have been full of similar corruption. It just illustrates that the future of the USA depends on getting him out of office.

Trump commutes sentence of longtime adviser Roger Stone

:cool: Knew it would happen anyway...

And, no there is no corruption. A ridiculous sentence for a process crime and I probably would do it myself regardless of who it was. The investigation that provided the justification for investigating Stone, and had he not been such a sparky little *******... He'd have walked already.

Whether he was dealt with harshly or not, Presidential interference on cases is problematic.
It undermines confidence in judicial process.

A key tenet of a justice system is a need for justice to be done, and for justice to be seen to be done. I don't see how this helps at all on either level.

If it goes to show anything, is that the nutcase conspiracy loons are on both sides of the aisle. :D

What's the nutcase conspiracy in this instance?

I agree with the basic premise, incidentally. Nutcase conspiracy loons do exist on both sides.

Presumably Trump is actually just the Order president, rather than the Law & Order president.

I find it incredible that a president has such a power.

Does anyone remember the Russian collusion delusion, where the Democrats lied non stop to take out a sitting president. Stone was accused of lying to the liars. This made no sense so Trump had to intercede.

Yes, we need someone more pure like Obama:

Or maybe Biden?

Yes, He is the righteous one!!!!

Exactly, because a sitting president is not supposed to weigh in on sentencing, nor is the Attorney General. As it was, Barr wanted a reduction in the sentence and got it.

Trump and Barr clearly have no respect for the U.S. "rule of law", as we have continually witnessed over the last three years, and even some veteran Republicans feel that our democracy is in serious danger.

This is only the tip of the iceberg! Prosecutors in the federal districts of Washington DC, New York, Manhattan have been fired by Barr and replaced with friends of the Trump.
