President Trump subtly distanced himself from his former associate Roger Stone on Tuesday, while also refusing to rule out whether he’d issue Stone, and other convicted members of his 2016 campaign, a presidential pardon.
Trump went on to claim that “dirty cops” had improperly spied on his campaign, dismissing the findings of the Justice Department inspector general’s report from last month that concluded the Russia investigation was properly launched and there was no evidence of political bias in the scope or direction of probe.
Same guy who expects the rest of us to show respect to law enforcement.
Look, it’s Christmas Eve and maybe once a year we should work on our mood a little bit, so let’s raise a glass of cheer and say fine, Trump, tell us what you won’t rule out and go on a bit more about the hoax and the unfairness and so forth, you lying piece of shit. Tell us how Roger Stone is nothing more than one of those near-strangers people become as you tell it when they get caught with their hand in the till doing criminal stuff for your benefit. It must be true, what you say about this strange sudden-stranger effect, because it happens so often. Merry Christmas, you dung beetle.
I could be mistaken but I thought somewhere in the discussions about impeachment it was brought up that a president’s power to grant pardons was suspended while the impeachment process is proceeding… can anyone comment on that?
Low energy impeached President looking worse for wear. Hair and makeup not up to circus standard. Rehashed talking points delivered dead pan. Sounds like Trump has lost his mojo.
“I think it’s very tough what they did to Roger Stone compared to what they do to other people on their side,” Trump said.
“their side”? He’s saying law enforcement has a side -basically calling them corrupt? Last time I checked, the DOJ put Roger Stone away. His DOJ.
I know it started from the Mueller probe, but that was also overseen by his corrupt hacks, Rosenstein, and eventually Barr. Not to mention it was the ruling of a jury of his peers that put Stone away.
He means arch-criminals like Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Brennan, Clapper, Ohr, Page, Strzok, Obama himself, and the 60 percent of the country that thinks he’s not the greatest president in history. Criminals all, and all are going scot free. It’s a rigged system, folks!
To Trump, “them” are not “us” and “us” are being attacked by “them.” The only stable thing about these two groups is that Trump is in the “us” camp. The membership of “them” fluctuates with his mood, much like the value of his real estate.
There is no upside to Trump pardoning them. Once pardoned they can be subpoenaed and not take the 5th when they testify. Trump does not get any added benefit from pardoning them, but if pardoned they become a large liability to him.
It is gratifying to know that he’s miserable and can’t stop obsessing about it all. Merry Christmas you Fat Piece of Shit. And thank you, Speaker Pelosi.
Oh, and as a member of the Tribe, I’m allowed to pass on the latest nickname: Jewliani.
