Pardon and commuting for people who actually did things. Meanwhile, Flynn and stone were framed because of their association with Trump
Commuting Blago is the bipartisan forerunner of commuting Manafort, Stone and Flynn. He commutes Democrats and Republicans alike. Hard for the Rats to make the case he’s just doing it for his cronies.
Neither have been sentenced yet. It's almost a given that President Trump will pardon both of them sooner rather than later if sentenced.
Perhaps he’s setting them up so they can’t claim bias when he pardons Flynn and Stone....which ain’t gonna happen until the “process” is done.
