Obama Granted Clemency to Terrorists and Traitors, But Democrats Are Angry About Roger Stone
PJ Media ^ | 11 Jul, 2020 | MATT MARGOLIS

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.

I found the lame protestations of Mueller to be particularly humorous.

We really need to stop caring about whether or not they are angry. They are always angry. They will always be angry.

NPR gave air to Adam Schiff, who should be in prison for his abuse of power and lies.

Hey, Nancy...

What about passing a law that pardons all of those caught in a web that involved a fabricated crime, such as the Trump/Russia collusion case?

What about passing a law that pardons all of those that were targeted, just because they were friends of the president?

What about passing a law that forbids members of congress passing laws just because they don't like a president?

On January 20, 2001, hours before leaving office, U.S. President Bill Clinton granted Rich a controversial presidential pardon......Former President Jimmy Carter...said, “I don’t think there is any doubt that some of the factors in his pardon were attributable to his large gifts. In my opinion, that was disgraceful.”[29]

any convictions because of the fake Mueller investigation should be overturned and the people well compensated.

meanwhile, the COUP PLOTTERS should all be locked up long before now???

Obama holds the record for the largest single-day use of the clemency power, granting 330 commutations on January 19, 2017, his last full day in office.[6][7] He also issued more commutations than the past 13 presidents combined.[2][8]
