Trump has made a few righteous moves the past week or so. This would be one of ’em.
The White House announced Friday that President Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency commuting the “unjust sentence” of Roger Stone, just days before the longtime political operative was slated to report to prison to serve more than three years for charges stemming from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation.
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 had more to say yet, bless her heart, all of it good, good stuff. For myself, I’ll just repeat yet again what I’ve said for who knows how long now: yes, the malignant Left will scream bloody murder over this. So fucking what?!? They’re going to do that anyway, no matter what Trump does. So goddammit, just do what you were elected to do, Mr Preznit, and damn their eyes all to hell and gone.
What they did to Stone was a travesty. Springing the man ought to be only the first step in the process of correcting that injustice. Everyone involved in the raid, the “trial,” the sentencing, and the persecution since ought to be made to pay, and pay heavily. If they’re gonna scream anyway—and they are—the pond scum by God oughta be given something to really scream about. Spill blood first, worry about cleaning up after.
Update! And right on cue.
Trump just commuted Roger Stone’s sentence.
Stone lied and intimidated witnesses to hide Trump’s exploitation of the Russian hack of his opponent’s campaign.
With Trump there are now two systems of justice in America:
One for Trump's criminal friends and one for everyone else.

Wait, you mean the “exploitation of the Russian hack” you tried—and failed—to have him removed from office over, you worthless, lying, piece-of-shit con artist? Die screaming in agony, pusnuts. Five minutes ago wouldn’t be soon enough to suit me.
Fruit from a toxic tree update! I didn’t expect Sarah Huckabee-Sanders to be topped. I was selling Kayleigh short.

Bang. And also: zoom. But what did I say before about the Left having a shitfit?
Aside from the bogus origins of the investigation that led to Stone’s prosecution, one of the jurors, who served as foreperson on the jury during his trial, Tomeka Hart, apparently lied about her anti-Trump biases in order to get on the jury. Hart was a former Democratic congressional candidate, whose social media was full of anti-Trump sentiment.
Nevertheless, the left is freaking out.
“Donald Trump has abandoned the rule of law and made a mockery of our democracy. He truly is the most corrupt president in history,” tweeted Elizabeth Warren.
“There are no limits. This President will do anything and everything to flaunt the law,” echoed Amy Klobuchar.
“Does @realDonaldTrump’s corrupt commutation of Roger Stone piss you off?” asked Congressman Ted Lieu. “Then take your anger and put it to good use.”
But Stephen King really hit it out of the park by referring to Trump as “Orange Man.” “Trump has commuted Roger Stone’s 40-month sentence. Every time you think the Orange Man has hit the gutter, he bounces lower.”
Right back atcha, you suppurating pustule. You, and all the rest of your scum-sucking Lefty pals.
Clearly, these sub-normals inhabit some sort of inside-out Bizarro World. Anybody still think they can be reasoned with, compromised with? Or that it’s worth the bother to even try?

Good for President Trump.
Now Stone can continue fighting this appeal while remaining free, and barring success there, Trump can grant a full pardon.
Agree — an excellent move by President Trump. The usual suspects will howl about ‘bad optics’ and claim this will hurt him in November, but the opposite is true. It is time and past time to cram more of the left’s BS right back down their throats.
Al the other Presidents chose their last day in office to pardon or commute.
Once again President Trump shows Courage.
