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

Posted on 07/11/2020 1:44:21 PM PDT by george76

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.

That’s all show. They pretend to be horrified to drum up anti-Trump sentiment. They have no principles that can be offended. Their only concern is power.

And now Rosenberg is intimately involved in the BLM movement as an avowed Marxist.

Another Clinton gift....

Clinton also pardoned several Puerto Rican terrorists in order to secure the Puerto Rican vote for his wife the first time she ran for office back in the early aughts.

Follow this up with a DoJ indictment of Obama, Biden and Clinton, et al.

That should really shock them!

And cheer the rest of us up considerably.

Break the ambush, NOW

Holder handled the Bill Clinton last minute pardons to Marc Rich: a fugitive oil broker who had illegally purchased oil from Iran during the American trade embargo (kickbacks all around) and to Puerto Rico FALN terrorists (to help Hillary win her Senate race in NY) .

When has Trump done anything that didn’t horrify the left? Shortly after his election, the NY Times and others said that Trump could not be “normalized”, meaning he could no way be considered a normal president, so they set about turning everything he does, says, doesn’t do and doesn’t say into something “controversial” and “outrageous”. For a long time, probably right up to recently, they thought that if they could make Trump’s life and presidency a living hell he would resign and go back to being just a billionaire living the high life. When Mueller flopped, they shifted to the Ukraine hosx which led to the Ukraine impeachment hoax. When that failed, they shifted to destroying the economy with virus lockdowns, when that didn’t work, they shifted to nationwide rioting, looting, vandalism, and arson.

None of them gave a damn when Obama pardoned TRAITOR Bradly Manning, or terrorist Lopez, or any of dozens of violent criminals.

The fact that it’s gone this far horrifies me. An attempted coup and Republicans did NOTHING. An investigation based on NOTHING, not one hint of an iota of evidence he colluded with the Russians, they might as well accused him of moving the moon, it was just so utterly absurd and to date NOBODY is held accountable!
