There will be justice, even if President Trump has to provide it himself. – Days before he was to report to federal prison as a result of his Soviet-style prosecution by the Mueller Special Counsel thugs, a corrupt federal judge and a rigged jury, Roger Stone will apparently have his absurdly harsh sentence commuted by President Donald J. Trump. The announcement could come as soon as this evening.
From a story at Fox News:
President Trump is expected to announce that he will commute Roger Stone’s sentence, just days before the longtime political operative is slated to report to prison to serve more than three years for charges stemming from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, Fox News has learned.
Sources told Fox News Friday that the president could announce a commutation of Stone’s sentence as early as Friday evening.
The president, as recently as Friday morning, has said he was “looking at” offering Stone clemency, saying he was “very unfairly treated.”
Stone was set to report to prison on July 14 to serve 40 months. He was sentenced in February to more than three years in prison after being convicted in November 2019 on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering and making false statements to Congress on charges that stemmed from Mueller’s investigation. Stone, however, has appealed his conviction and continues to deny any wrongdoing.

Thus, a despicable abuse and corruption of the federal justice system will be remedied not by the courts themselves or by the Department of Justice, but by the President himself. It’s a damn shame it had to come to this, but bless President Trump for being willing to take this action and withstand the firestorm of condemnation that will inevitably come his way from the Democrats and their toadies in the corrupt national news media.
Meanwhile, General Mike Flynn sees his own justice delayed yet again. – The full body of the DC Circuit Court of Appeals today ordered Mike Flynn and his badass attorney, Sidney Powell, to respond within 10 days to Judge Emmet Sullivan’s request for an en banc hearing. The Circuit Court also invited the DOJ to file a response of its own.
In the same order, the Court placed a stay on the previous order by the 3-judge panel that Sullivan must dismiss the case against Flynn by July 24, pending a hearing on the merits of Sullivan’s en banc request.
From a piece at TruNews.com:
The full court has not decided on the validity of the Justice Department’s motion to dismiss, or of Flynn’s lawyer’s petition for a writ of mandamus to require Sullivan to approve the DOJ motion. Rather, it has given both sides up to 10 days to present their arguments related to those matters, and in the meantime, the June 24 order is stayed:
“Upon consideration of the petition for the rehearing en banc, it is, on the court’s own motion,
“ORDERED that, within 10 days of the date of this order, petitioner file a response to the petition for rehearing en banc. not to exceed 3,900 words. The government is invited to respond in its discretion within the same ten-day period. Any response from the government may not exceed 3,900 words. Absent an order of the court, a reply to the responses will not be accepted for filing. It is
“FURTHER ORDERED that the effectiveness of this court’s order issued June 24, 2020, will be stayed pending disposition of the petition for rehearing en banc. See D.C. Cir. Rule 41(a)(3) (order granting writ becomes effective automatically 21 days after issuance in the absence of an order or other special direction of this court to the contrary).”
The three-judge panel’s order was set to go into force next Wednesday. In the meantime, retired federal judge John Gleeson has sought to move forward with his continued witch hunt against Flynn. He had been appointed by Sullivan to make a case for why he should not approve the DOJ motion to dismiss all charges against the former national security adviser.
[End]
And so, the run-out-the-clock strategy being played by Sullivan and his Lawfare lawyers continues to find success and willing accomplices in the federal court system.
Despicable.
That is all.
Must be what Matt Gaetz meant when he cryptically tweeted a few days ago in reply to, I think Jack Posobiec, who said Stone going to prison in 6 days, Gaetz said uh...nope.
Watch the media jackals go nuts over this. Gawd I hate them.
One of the great long-term victories of the Progressives has been the complete dismantling and destruction of the American justice system. The way the courts have been used as a weapon against president Trump and those who helped him win in 2016 is an utter disgrace.
These reprobates doing satan’s bidding are so envious of our President. We need to keep praying for those who are being harassed by the judicial system. You have to wonder who the influencers were in lives of these misguided souls. Certainly not a praying Grandma.
These "courts"are cut from the same leftist cloth and that is why they can be used.
I read that as being that Trump is doing a favour for Stone, because he doesn’t need him for a political appointment. Flynn, however, is still needed because Trump will appoint him as before and he needs to be untainted in order to get past the Senate.
That’s how I’m interpreting Trump’s actions.
40 months in prison for a feeble 67 year old man. Meanwhile Hillary is still free and tweeting, and her crimes make even some of America’s worst serial killers blush.
Disgusting leftists continue to punish Flynn financially.
I think Trump prefers to let the courts and appeals work their way through.
But Stone is 6 days away from prison during Coronavirus. That’s what is prompting Trump to act.
If Flynn was only days a way from prison, we’d see Trump act on his behalf as well.
You’re probably correct, but I think it is doubly important for Flynn to be cleared by the system, because if Trump can appoint him, he’ll be coming down on the intelligence agencies like the Second Judgement of Revelations.
