House Democrats promise investigations, legislation after Trump commutes Roger Stone
Fox News ^ | July 11 2020 | Adam Shaw

House Democrats reacted furiously to President Trump’s Friday move to commute the prison sentence of political operative Roger Stone -- demanding an investigation and even legislation to stop similar commutations happening again.

“President Trump’s decision to commute the sentence of top campaign advisor Roger Stone, who could directly implicate him in criminal misconduct, is an act of staggering corruption,” House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said in a statement on Saturday.

She went on to promise that Congress would “take action” to prevent future such commutations: “Legislation is needed to ensure that no President can pardon or commute the sentence of an individual who is engaged in a cover-up campaign to shield that President from criminal prosecution.”

She’s playing to the “peanut gallery”. She knows its large (dangerously!) and it’s stupid and it votes.

Every statement she & other make is to this “gallery” to keep it energized in the hope it turns out in November. Not so much to elect Biden but to protect down ticket and keep her in power.

House Democrats promise investigations

...followed by the particular thing that they find offensive.


I am bored and amused by those first four words that follow something great that President Trump does on a daily basis.

“If Trump gets re-elected, this Roger Stone commutation could be part of another impeachment.”

Nope but obviously people will believe any Constitutional action by a US President.
Sad.

What’s to investigate? Roger Stone got caught up in the witchhunt and President Trump commuted him and provided his reasons. Nothing hidden about it.

Yeah. Wouldn't they need a Constitutional Amendment for that? Or are they just talking out of their a$$?

Ooops! Answered my own question!

legislation? Don’t they know that the President of the United States has always had the power of commuting sentences?

Clinton also pardoned fugitive Pincus Green who was Marc Rich’s partner. He also granted clemency to 12 FALN members, and commuted the sentence of terrorist Susan Rosenberg who is now a fundraiser for BLM. Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Oscar López Rivera who was known as the unofficial leader of the FALN.

Well, there are Rules after all.

Republicans who lie to Congress, even in a Politically motivates bogus Investigation, get arrested in pre dawn Raids by 15 Men armed with Automatic Rifles.

Democrats who lied to Congress and used their Government Positions in an attempted Coup against a newly Elected POTUS of the opposition Party are given Million Dollar On Air Positions on CNN and PMSNBC.
