      Mr. Stone was charged by the same prosecutors from the Mueller Investigation tasked with finding evidence of collusion with Russia. Because no such evidence exists, however, they could not charge him for any collusion-related crime. Instead, they charged him for his conduct during their investigation. The simple fact is that if the Special Counsel had not been pursuing an absolutely baseless investigation, Mr. Stone would not be facing time in prison.

      In addition to charging Mr. Stone with alleged crimes arising solely from their own improper investigation, the Mueller prosecutors also took pains to make a public and shameful spectacle of his arrest. Mr. Stone is a 67-year-old man, with numerous medical conditions, who had never been convicted of another crime. But rather than allow him to surrender himself, they used dozens of FBI agents with automatic weapons and tactical equipment, armored vehicles, and an amphibious unit to execute a pre-dawn raid of his home, where he was with his wife of many years. Notably, CNN cameras were present to broadcast these events live to the world, even though they swore they were not notified—it was just a coincidence that they were there together with the FBI early in the morning.

      Not only was Mr. Stone charged by overzealous prosecutors pursing a case that never should have existed, and arrested in an operation that never should have been approved, but there were also serious questions about the jury in the case. The forewoman of his jury, for example, concealed the fact that she is a member of the so-called liberal “resistance” to the Trump Presidency. In now-deleted tweets, this activist-juror vividly and openly attacked President Trump and his supporters.

      [...]

      ...in light of the egregious facts and circumstances surrounding his unfair prosecution, arrest, and trial, the President has determined to commute his sentence. Roger Stone has already suffered greatly. He was treated very unfairly, as were many others in this case. Roger Stone is now a free man!

      So crimes committed during the course of an investigation aren’t really crimes if the investigation fails to prosecute?

              Process crimes are what vindictive prosecutors resort to when a witness doesn't tell them what they want to hear (even if what they want to hear isn't the truth), and Dirty Cop Mueller is just about as vindictive as they come.

                It may be good for Trump but not for your country or the rule of law. It's interesting how conservatives so called principles are dependent upon their politics rather than their politics being based upon their principles.

                  Wrong bonehead, process crimes are what prosecutors charge defendents with for obstructing justice. As R. Stone said 'I could have turned on Trump, it would have eased my situation greatly, but I didn't.' And because he lied about his own corrupt activity in endeavoring to undermine U.S. elections and covering for Trump, Trump commuted his sentence. You all have shown yourselves to be politically unprincipled even at the expense of your country and democracy.

                      It's a mixed bag - he's most certainly for law and order for the country, but he looks after himself in ways I'm not at all comfortable.

                      We've actually got extreme left wing nutters here who defend anarchists as "statue topplers".

                        Might I ask exactly what it is that you are not at all comfortable with?

                        Do you have specific quotes of anyone here supporting anarchists defending statue topplers?

                            Trump's actions here are perfectly legal and something many past presidents have done, including Saint Obama. I don't really have a problem with this considering just how corrupt the Mueller investigation was. I suppose you could argue that commuting Stone's sentence is the lesser of two evils. In this case significantly the less.

                            Another way to look at it, Stone is simply getting the Andrew McCabe treatment. McCabe leaked information to the media and repeatedly lied under oath about it, and yet he remains a free man, so why shouldn't Roger Stone get the same deal?

                                I would change this to "right-wing" conservatives, but otherwise, you nailed it.

                                ps. normal conservatives are an endangered species, though...
