Obama Granted Clemency to Terrorists and Traitors, But Democrats Are Angry About Roger Stone

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 president’s clemency powers.

“There ought to be a law, and I’m 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. It’s appalling,” she told CNN’s Anderson Cooper.

Adam Schiff couldn’t help invoking the debunked Trump/Russia theory when he responded. “Stone lied and intimidated witnesses to hide Trump’s exploitation of the Russian hack of his opponent’s campaign,” he tweeted. “With Trump there are now two systems of justice in America: One for Trump’s 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.”

Just before leaving office in 2017, Barack Obama commuted the sentence of Bradley Manning (you may also know him as Chelsea), who leaked hundreds of thousands of sensitive government documents to WikiLeaks.

Obama also commuted the sentence of convicted terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, the leader of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a Puerto Rican terrorist group.

Liberals are angry about everything all the time.

It has worked well for them lately.

That’s what dems like Slick do. Remember this?

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 don’t 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.
