Start investigating now. Call in the prosecutor who just resigned. These things always proceed according to the rule of dominos.

I think he gets time. Two year or thereabouts. The question is does he serve any time or does Trump pardon?

“Trump Reversing Stone Sentencing Recommendation Would Be ‘Abuse Of Power,’ Schiff Says.”

I wanna see the press publicly drag every single GOP senator about this.

Relentlessly.

Without mercy.

From now until Election Day.

And the GOP’s reaction will clearly be “so the f*ck what?”

Only a landslide election in November will remedy anything at this point.

I agree that the House should hold hearings on this matter. Bring them in and ask them what happened, and what do they think about this decision, what Stone did, etc. Investigate, investigate, investigate. Get this crap before the public eye, repeatedly. Remember Benghazi! It’s the repetition.

You’re too easy. I want to keep going until their treason trials have resulted in lengthy stays at Club Fed.

As I said on the weekend, every day is Saturday Night Massacre Day under the Trump Regime.
