Soon after it was announced that President Trump had commuted the prison sentence of Roger Stone, the outrage mob mobilized. Nancy Pelosi went on CNN to suggest that a law should be passed limiting the presidents clemency powers.
There ought to be a law, and Im recommending we pass a law that presidents cannot issue a pardon if the crime that the person is in jail for is one that is caused by protecting the president, which this was. Its appalling, she told CNNs Anderson Cooper.
Adam Schiff couldnt help invoking the debunked Trump/Russia theory when he responded. Stone lied and intimidated witnesses to hide Trumps exploitation of the Russian hack of his opponents campaign, he tweeted. With Trump there are now two systems of justice in America: One for Trumps criminal friends and one for everyone else. Cory Booker echoed the same talking point in his own tweet, There should not be two justice systems in the U.S.we can and we must do better.

Liberals are angry about everything all the time.
It has worked well for them lately.
On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, which is a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago. There were convictions for conspiracy to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as firearms and explosives violations.
Of course, The Stupid Party never bothers to mention it. Most Republicans are worthless dipshits who dont earn the $200k annual salary we pay them.
You have to realize that Roger Stone was a patsy used by the DemoCRAPic party leaders. That is Schumer, Booker, Warren, Pelosi, Schiff, Nadler, Waters to disgrace a sitting President that the knowingly and with relish HATE. Whereas Obama pardon KNOWN TRAITORS, TERRORISTS, AND ANTI-AERICAN POS’s especially since Obama helped and aided Iran.
Democrats true colors exposed how sweet it is.
Obama Granted Clemency to **Terrorists and Traitors**, But Democrats Are Angry About Roger Stone
