Trump’s commutation of Stone’s sentence horrifies the left
American Thinker ^ | July 11, 2020 | Andrea Widburg

On Friday, President Trump commuted Roger Stone’s sentence on the ground that Stone was an unfortunate victim of the Democrats’ Russia hoax. Democrats and other leftists responded with the usual outrage.

This outrage seems absurd when one considers the recent report that one of the leading Black Lives Matter fundraisers is Susan Rosenberg, a convicted domestic terrorist who was once on the FBI’s most-wanted list. Rosenberg is relevant to a discussion about Stone because Bill Clinton, on the last day of his presidency, commuted her 58-year-prison sentence after only 16 years.

...

Leftists were more mellow when it came to Susan Rosenberg, a member of the May 19th Communist Organization, a far-left terrorist group that engaged in bombings and assassinations from the late 1970s through the early 1980s. Rosenberg was charged for her roles in the 1983 bombings at the U.S. Capitol, the U.S. National War College, and the New York Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association.

On January 20, 2001, right before walking out of the White House, Clinton commuted Rosenberg's 58-year sentence after only 16-years. You can watch Tucker Carlson’s interview with Bernie Kerik about Rosenberg, during which Kerik details just how dangerous Rosenberg was to America and Americans.

Rosenberg matters today because she’s a board member at the primary fundraiser for the Black Lives Matter movement:

...

BLM, of course, is an avowedly Marxist organization that aims to overthrow the United States government.

Democrats are comfortable with backing a Marxist revolutionary group that funnels its financing through an organization headed, in part, by an unrepentant terrorist. Democrats therefore have no moral high ground from which to complain about Trump’s decision to commute Stone’s sentence.

Weather Underground terrorist leader Bill Ayers was on an airplane “dancing in the aisles” over news that Obama commuted the sentence of FALN terrorist Oscar López Rivera, whose group was linked to over 100 bombs placed in U.S. cities .

Ayers Bombed the Pentagon, Ayers said.

pretty much EVERYTHING Trump does “horrifies” the left, so it doesn’t really matter anymore what he does ...

Trump did the right thing in this case but Stone should learn to keep his mouth shut.

They control 90% of the media, that is how.

If you are not a well indoctrinated Progressive (leftist) you do not last in the Media.

There are rare exceptions, nearly all of them changed after they got near the top.

Being a conservative of the way up appears to be a route to advancement provided your Left wing peers know it’s an act.

Yes, I’m a cynic.

Congressman Jerrold Nadler (D—NY) reached out to the Bureau of Prisons on Rosenberg’s behalf for permission to visit her dying father while she was in prison.

Nadler continued to advocate for Rosenberg leveraging his connections within the Clinton White House.

Nadler was told that Rosenberg was “still in contact with some of her terrorist friends from the outside” and that the Bureau of Prisons was concerned that her armed entourage would be targeted by those associates.

Nadler said his first response to the concern was, “So?”

Nadler also signed a letter in 2019 asking the New York State Board of Parole to release Judith Clark, another member of MC19CO convicted for her role as the getaway driver in the Brink’s robbery.

She should have been executed.

A cacophony of liberal voices on the left; liars and misleaders on Fox that are anything but Fair and Balanced...

All of the above fawned over the Obama's as they ripped this nation's Constitution and values to shreds and still do.
