Trump's commuting Stones sentence does one thing above others

Last edited Sat Jul 11, 2020, 07:38 AM - Edit history (1)

It makes it very clear trump's criminal actions now needs the judicial system to immediately expose all of his taxes at once, exposing him as the criminal we thought all along he was, and prevent more to happen. The GOP had their chance and refused to do it, and look at all he's done since then hurting this country and us in the process. The GOP are complicit with his crimes. He is above the rule of law if they don't stop him now.

Now the pardon makes Stone vulnerable because he can not plead the Fifth. Accepting the pardon was admitting guilt. Trump is just delaying the inevitable. Nixon all over again. Only the names of the corrupt have changed.

And showing them they have no power over him. He can pardon, or commute anyone's sentences while thumbing his nose at judges decisions. Judges should be up in arms over his doing this.

Roger is off the hook while Cohen is sent back to jail because he would not agree to silence about Trump!
