On Friday, President Trump commuted the prison sentence of former
political aide and longtime associate Roger Stone. And on Saturday, House
Speaker Nancy Pelosi suffered a meltdown.
"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," Pelosi said in a
statement.
The speaker vowed congressional action to rewrite the Constitution and
rein in the president's ability to grant reprieves and pardons.
“Congress will take action to prevent this type of brazen wrongdoing,"
Pelosi wailed. "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."
Stone was convicted of process crimes involving witness tampering and
false statements that he made to Robert Mueller's investigation into
nonexistent collusion between Russia and the Trump campaign. What Stone
was accused of lying about isn't even illegal.
"Roger Stone’s seven felony crimes, which include lying to Congress and
witness tampering, constitute grave crimes," Pelosi continued. "All who
commit these illegal acts should be held accountable to the fullest extent
of the law."
If so, what happened with James Clapper? When do the trials of Andrew
McCabe, James Comey, and John Brennan begin? And what about the
investigators who lied to the FISA courts? When will these people and
others "be held accountable to the fullest extent of the law"?
