Hilary Clinton, and everyone associated with her, committed their own crimes and violations of the law concerning her email scandal! Guess you forgot all about that.

Thanks for the anti-Clinton non-sequitur. How about addressing my point?

If you don't like it, get a new President elected. We put up with Obama for 8 years, and you are only 3 years into Trump, so get used to it because you could have 5 more years to go.

Most American voters feel the Republicans are going to gain even more power in November, and that political power does not even include the 189 Federal Judges Trump put on the bench for the next 20+ years. If the American voters are right, and the Orange Alpha Male is re-elected, he could wind up seating 400+ Federal Judges, and 4 Supreme's.
Most????? Only in your dreams.

More presidential thought crimes, courtesy of the Mueller witch hunt?

The reason Stone crossed paths with Mueller's angry Democrats is because they were attempting a coup.

The fact that you support the attempted coup doesn't mean Stone should die in prison for failing to give the coup leaders what they wanted.

As you know, it doesn't do any good. The Senate will continue to protect him. But I know you really didn't expect to get an answer to your snarky post.

Stone is not being exonerated for his crimes, with the DOJ refusing to even prosecute him, as they did with Hilary. Stone's only getting a lowered person term; he's still going to prison.
Poor comparison, Reagan intervening in sentencing for Iran-Contra would be more fitting.

Hillary was investigated by the Department of State IG and by the FBI and they concluded there was nothing to bring charges for. It's old news.

The Special Counsel was appointed during the Trump Administration by a Trump appointee and overseen by four different Trump appointees. But I'm not one to inject facts into a nice angry screed. Carry on.

besides all of that above, didn't the prosecutors say that they were going to recommend a less than 6-9 year sentence to which the DOJ agreed. But they went into the judge recommending a 6-9 year sentence. That was the basis of AG Barr's comment to the judge?

that doesn't sound like corruption to me, but disagreement which the judge will rule however the judge sees it .

all of the other stuff in this thread is interesting reading. I had no idea that all this had gone on with the jury and etc.
