Hollywood Erupts After Trump Commutes Roger Stone’s Sentence: ‘Treason’

Hollywood celebrities flew into an apoplectic rage on Friday after President Donald Trump commuted the 40-month prison sentence of Republican operative Roger Stone.  A slew of entertainment figures accused the president of breaking the law, calling him a “criminal,” “disgrace,” and a “little stinker.”

The White House said in a statement late Friday that Stone was now a free man. “Roger Stone is a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years in an attempt to undermine the Trump Presidency. There was never any collusion between the Trump Campaign, or the Trump Administration, with Russia.”

President Trump tweeted Saturday morning: “Roger Stone was targeted by an illegal Witch Hunt that never should have taken place. It is the other side that are criminals, including Biden and Obama, who spied on my campaign – AND GOT CAUGHT!”

The commutation doesn’t change Stone’s conviction for making false statements during a 2017 testimony to the House Intelligence Committee.

Stars including Rob Reiner, Alec Baldwin, Mia Farrow, Bette Midler, and Chelsea Handler expressed their disgust with President Trump in a series of angry tweets. But none mentioned the fact  that President Barack Obama commuted more sentences than any other president in U.S. history, including Chelsea Manning, the transgender former Army intelligence analyst who gave classified information to WikiLeaks.

Commuting sentences is one of the Constitutional powers of the President. So Trump did not break the law in doing this. Stone was convicted of lying to Congress; bunches of other (largely) former FBI leaders lied to Congress about the Trump-Russia-Collusion Delusion, so commuting Stone's sentence bothers me much less than the blatantly partisan selective prosecution.

So Roger Stone won’t go to prison for covering up a crime that never happened during an investigation that never should have begun. My outrage knows no bounds.

And probably applauded the pardons of murderous terrorists by the former democrat residents. Which brings to mind the many times this morning I have heard so called journalists, political hacks and politicians call this a pardon instead of the commutation it actually is...................no doubt on purpose.

When I read the headline 'Hollywood Erupts' why is it that in my minds eye I envision a festering boil?

Fine with me.

Now... pardon Michael Flynn and shove it right up that rogue judge's rear end.
