President Trump did the right thing. Why worry about appearances when no matter what you do you’re going to be criticized by the talking heads anyway? Might as well just do the right thing, which is exactly what POTUS did.

if that moronic governor of (my state) California can release 8,000 prison inmates, I have a very hard time thinking Trump should be criticized for releasing one

That is a fact that we will never hear on the MSM.

I think the en banc request will be denied.

Do you know how long they have to decide?

True.

I wonder what those ditzy anti-Trump women think when the prison inmates wake them up at 2 a.m. during a home invasion. At least the felons aren't saying harsh things in tweets like that meanie Trump. /S

The petition was made from Sullivan through Wilkins (or whomever the objecting judge of the appeal was). By 7/24 the DOJ, Flynn, or both parties need to reply with reasons against en banc. If the majority of judges see no need for en banc, the en banc is rejected and the appeal court’s decision to end Flynn’s case is enforced. The majority of the court is Dem noms, but en banc in this case would look very biased so I think they drop it.

The original deadline for this was 7/15.

Don’t count on it the appeals court just told Flynn’s team they had 10 days to respond which means they are going to hear the case, the DC appeals court is a liberal bunch of Trump haters!! Trump needs to pardon him NOW enough of this BS!!!

I had not heard this, does not sound good. I would think if they decided against it they would have said so by now.

Does not matter! The power to pardon is absolute - Barr should keep his mouth shut

The President did not pardon Stone.

I am happy for Stone. Apparently he resisted the temptation/pressure to turn on Trump — unlike Michael Cohen. He was treated badly only because he was associated with Trump. I heard he ended up broke, too, and was gagged from defending himself publicly. I am glad Trump came in and pulled him out of the swamp at the last moment.

If not covered on another post, here is one bit of detail....

(ABC reported online)
...While a commutation reduces a convict’s sentence either in part or in full, only a pardon nullifies a conviction entirely. Absent a full pardon, Stone will avoid prison time but will still remain a convicted felon, barring him from voting in any future elections, serving on a jury or seeking elected office....

“barring him from voting in any future elections, serving on a jury or seeking elected office....“

I don’t think it will matter, probably no future elections, juries won’t be necessary and he’s a Republican which will be illegal.

Trump should hire him back on with the sole job...and only job...of cleaning up the Intelligence Community.

I’m certain that Trump has excellent lawyers advising him on this, and I’m equally certain of his sincere concern for General Flynn.

Let it play out.
