If the judge had tossed the jury foreman, replacing her with a random denizen of DC, the result would have been the same, except then we couldn’t bitch about it.

“But, like Sullivan, she’s a leftist hack who could very well be looking for a loophole to drag Stone back to jail...”

My understanding is in Federal cases the presidents authority to pardon or commute is absolute.

Full expalnation here.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is like Facebook, EVIL to her core.

If Judge Berman would read the Constitution she’d find that the ‘scope’ of Stone’s commutation is none of her business.

The seditionists are getting bold in the district court of the District of Columbia.

We've got Dirty Emmet flipping off the DOJ and the DC Circuit Court of Appeals.

Then district "judge" Tanya Chutkan flips off a Federal Circuit Court of Appeals [the Seventh Circuit].

Now we have Amy Berman Freisler, Nazi hanging judge for ClownBammy, challenging the commutation power of the President of the United States.

They'd look good in a nice line like the Booth conspirators...

Just pardon the guy and tell her to FO

That would get her out of the picture, but since Stone is still appealing his conviction, wouldn't it be better to let that go forward. The prosecution as well as the judge's handling of the case needs to be reviewed by the higher courts.

Somehow, some way, these judges need to be told FU and suffer career ending consequences for their partisan zealotry.

I wondered about this but another story from CNN argued that NY should prosecute Stone since they recently passed a law that allowed NY to prosecute under state any one “pardoned” by a President who might have information on a President. Maybe by commuting the sentence, PDJT is sparing Stone a hassle from NY.

I remember the woman who is now the NY Attorney General campaigning on the platform of going after Trump and his family.

That’s exactly what she’s doing. Pulling a bureaucratic stunt to try to throw a wrench into the clear purpose of the commutation.

Splitting hairs so she can start an argument over details, kick the can down the road, somehow recover the scam she ran.

Think she’d do this if the commutation was to Cletus T. Bankrobber, hard luck story of the week?

If,by chance,the President erred in the wording of the commutation and,as a result,Stone's still required to report to some BOP official periodically the Swamp Creatures will try to trap him on some technicality and,having done so,put him behind bars.

Since a co-worker's BIL died of covid at 71, I wouldn't be too snarky about Stone going to prison not being a death sentence since it's been wildly stated he has several health issues and many prisoners are getting early release because covid.

There are lots of people who don't even make it to 71 even in the 21st century.

Well yes that is true but the fact Bernan let it happen tells you how these bastards have no worries about appearances whatsoever.

She definitely wouldn't do it if her god ClownBammy commuted the sentence of a Marxist terrorist...

If there was a technically, say probation wasn’t included in the original commutation order, couldn’t Trump just issue another commutation for that?
