'Abandoned the rule of law': Lawmakers react to Trump granting clemency to Roger Stone
"With Trump there are now two systems of justice in America: One for Trump's criminal friends and one for everyone else,"

The Democrats contradict themselves when they speak, and have very short memories of their own Favorites Doings !

It's like a Comedy Show when Democrats try and sound ...... unbiased and Caring !


S E E D E D   C O N T E N T





Lawmakers on both sides of the aisle reacted Friday night to news that  President Donald Trump commuted the sentence  of his longtime confidant Roger Stone. Democrats accused Trump of abusing his power while some Republicans applauded the move.


Stone is a Republican operative convicted of lying to Congress to protect the president's campaign from an investigation into Russian election interference.


-------------------------------------------------


Democrat Comments:


Rep. Adam Schiff, D-Calif.,  tweeted  that "Stone lied and intimidated witnesses to hide Trump’s exploitation of the Russian hack of his opponent’s campaign."


The campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee,  said in a statement  that Trump "has once again abused his power, releasing this commutation on a Friday night, hoping to yet again avoid scrutiny as he lays waste to the norms and values that make our country a shining beacon to the rest of the world."


"He will not be shamed. He will only be stopped when Americans make their voice heard at the ballot box this fall. Enough,"  the statement concluded.



Appearing on CNN Friday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that for Trump to be able to commute or issue a pardon for Stone "based on the crime assisting the president, is ridiculous."

Pelosi was asked about  U.S. Attorney General William Barr saying  Wednesday the sentencing of Stone was fair. 

"There ought to be a law," she continued. "I’m recommending that we pass a law that presidents cannot issue a pardon if the crime that the person is in jail for is one that is caused by protecting the President, which this was.”

Sen. Mark Warner, D-VA., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee,  posted : "The United States was founded on the rule of law. It seems our president has nothing but contempt for it."

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y.,  released a joint statement , writing, "Trump abused the powers of his office in an apparent effort to reward Roger Stone for his refusal to cooperate with investigators examining the President’s own conduct.  No other president has exercised the clemency power for such a patently personal and self-serving purpose." 

Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., tweeted Trump "abandoned the rule of law and made a mockery of our democracy."

First of all, ya  got these Liberal politicians crying about how Trump “Broke the Rule of Law” and “Abused Power”:

  1. Sen. Mark Warner, D-VA., vice chairman of the Senate Intelligence Committee, posted: "The United States was founded on the rule of law.
  2. The campaign of former Vice President Joe Biden, the presumptive Democratic nominee, said in a statement that Trump "has once again abused his power.
  3. House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler, D-N.Y., and Oversight and Reform Committee Chairwoman Carolyn B. Maloney, D-N.Y., released a joint statement, writing, "Trump abused the powers of his office

Then Nancy says:

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that for Trump to be able to commute or issue a pardon for Stone "based on the crime assisting the president, is ridiculous."

" There ought to be a law ," she continued. "I’m recommending that we pass a law that presidents cannot issue a pardon if the crime that the person is in jail for is one that is caused by protecting the President, which this was.”

----------------------------------------------

THE LAW !

Article Two of the United States Constitution establishes the executive branch of the federal government, which carries out and enforces federal laws. Article Two vests the power of the executive branch in the office of the president of the United States, lays out the procedures for electing and removing the president, and establishes the president's powers and responsibilities.

Section 2 of Article Two lays out the powers of the presidency, establishing that the president serves as the commander-in-chief of the military, among many other roles. This section gives the president the power to grant pardons.

---------------------------------------------

Some Weird Stuff Happened, Before Trump,

to Friends of Other Presidents ?:

President Barack Obama commuted a jail sentence for Wikileaks figure Chelsea Manning and issued a pardon to former general James Cartwright.

Plus 1714 Other Criminals

President Bill Clinton pardoned his own brother, Roger (who had served a one-year jail sentence on a drug conviction), businessman Marc Rich, Whitewater participant Susan McDougal and former Housing Secretary Henry Cisneros. FALN, which is a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago.

-----------------------------------------------

BUT TRUMP (Only 24 total pardons and commutations ) ? jrSmiley_79_smiley_image.gif

The STUPID never seems to end on the "Left" !

Of course people have many positions, but given that AG Barr's is one that would be from someone more in the know of the evidence would make those contemplate the the use of the pardon in this case.

As far as your other examples..... the difference here is that the Stone commutation involves potential evidence against the very person that supplied the commutation.

That's not true, but even if the case, what was Trump's defense? 

His defense never claimed that he didn't do it.

His defense never brought forth ANY witnesses to rebut testimony.

In fact Trump blocked 1st hand witnesses from testifying. (Sure sign of innocence??)

His total defense(?) rested on the fact that McConnell would never remove him from office no matter the guilt, or the crime committed.

Last weekend Mueller issued his statements of the proper charges against Stone being levied, and Stone being found Guilty on all counts as valid.  AG Barr's statement from the weekend is also in confirmation of the finding of guilt on all charges and that the sentence was just.  Both of these people know to the letter of the charges and evidence that brought the jury to convict Stone.

Given that there is still quite a bit of the Mueller report that is redacted, I think you would be more circumspect in not knowing all of the details that the jury was asked to deliberate.  Be that as it may, your conundrum here is that Barr and Mueller are aligned on the critical points of the Stone trial.  If you contend that Mueller is a liar, then Barr must be doing the same.  If you believe Barr is telling the truth, then Mueller is also doing so.  Tough spot for an avid Trump supporter.

Where did Vindman get his preconceived notion? He points to media stories accusing Trump and Rudy Giuliani of seeking investigations to damage Joe Biden. See pages 176-177 and 251-252.

Vindman confessed he never met or communicated with Trump or Giuliani and didn't know what Trump was thinking, according to transcript pages 36 and 177.

But on page 252, the Democrats hilariously argue Vindman's on solid ground because the stories quoted Giuliani, "so this is not some sort of media spin thing."

When Vindman was asked if he had knowledge of a quid pro quo communicated to the Ukrainians on July 25 -- or any other day -- he admitted, "no," says page 317 of the transcript.

By it, I thought you meant your statement.

meaning the evidence you referenced in your post I responded to.

You never addressed the evidence, you simply claimed it didn't exist.  Trying to rewrite history.  Despite the video I posted pointing out just some of their admissions.

In what exact post did I claim that there was no evidence?

Care to post the quote?

In fact, had you been reading and paying attention, you would find absolutely no evidence of what you falsely claim.

Here, I will give YOU  quotes of mine to prove what I say--can you do the same?

in America, no defense is required. the prosecution must present their case. For the record, ignoring and listening to evidence and returning a not guilty verdict are 2 different things

Now, I am off of work tomorrow, so I can stay up late if need be, waiting on you to post some quote of mine you claim I said.

Your turn.

They can't list a single case where a former President pardoned or commuted a convicted felon specifically because that felon refused to rat on the President or whose felonies were directly tied to protecting the President by lying to investigators. They can't do it because it has never happened before in the history of our nation. But that doesn't matter to Trump sycophants who don't care about the law or the constitution, they're all too busy cheering on the corruption because it angers those with any integrity or spine of which the new conservative Republican party under Trump is completely lacking.

I'm not crying.  I'm truly excited about watching what all the dems are going to be able to do when they get in office.  This president and the republican leadership have stomped over the constitution, refusing to honor subpoena after subpoena, inserting crooked AG's who refuse to prosecute crimes and traitors to this country, who steal children away from parents, who break campaign laws, who conspire with foreign hostiles against America and who remain silent when those foreign actors place bounties on our service men and women. 

This is a stellar group of leaders you've chosen to prop up and worship.  Just remember.......

It may be a couple more months or another 4 years of waiting but they will eventually get there and when they do the Dems are going to have a field day doing EXACTLY what trump and the republican leadership have done and there's not a damn thing anyone will be able to do about it because the precedence has been set.

Buckle up - it's going to be one hell of a ride when this shit show is turned back on them.

(this should be interesting)

The Democrats have been promising what Trump has done for decades.  Now they're upset that Trump actually did it and made them look bad.  But you keep up with the "Trump Bad" tantrums.

refusing to respond to subpoenas when it clearly states that Congress has oversight.  Go look up how many times they did this and look up how many times a Democratic Administration did it.

What's good for the goose is good for the gander.  These are the new rules this administration and this republican leadership has established for our politics. 

In the end, it's all good though because when the Dems are in charge (whenever that is) I hope and pray they follow the exact playbook that the republican leadership and this administration has created.
