Republican Senator Mitt Romney has joined the chorus of criticism from Democrats angry at United States President Donald Trump for commuting the sentence of long-time friend and former advisor Roger Stone.

The Utah Senator and one-time Presidential nominee tweeted out, "unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president." Mr Stone was convicted of lying to congress and witness tampering as a result of the Russia investigation. He was sentenced to 3 years 4 months prison before President Trump’s intervention.

Stone did nothing wrong, and was the victim of a politicised witch hunt.

Trump has upset Mitt Romney. Excellent. What a great way to start the day.

Mitt Who !

Romney is deep state bought and paid for Rhino hack. Will do anything for the dollar including getting on his knees. No one complained about the huge amount of sentences Obama commuted and pardoned.

Romney's a turncoat.

Just last week the Supreme Court ruled against a Trump appeal with the Judge noting 'president isn’t above the law'...... commuting the sentence of his long-term friend - ummmm, he obviously is.

Were with you Mitt!!!

Good on Trump. Hope he goes after the FBI next

SenatorRomney one of the dumbest rich guys you'll ever meet.

Expect to see Trump commute the sentences of dozens of criminals with an association with the Republican Party over coming months before he is dragged out. Trump is God ! God is Trump !
