'Abandoned the rule of law': Lawmakers react to Trump granting clemency to Roger Stone

that Trump"has once again abused his power, releasing this commutation on a Friday night, hoping to yet again avoid scrutiny as he lays waste to the norms and values that make our country a shining beacon to the rest of the world."

Appearing on CNN Friday night, House Speaker Nancy Pelosi, D-Calif., said that for Trump to be able to commute or issue a pardon for Stone"based on the crime assisting the president, is ridiculous."Trump asks Treasury Department to review universities' tax exemption over 'Radical Left Indoctrination'

😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Democrats --- Rule of Law? Non-compute. 🤣😂🤣😂

Democrats are RELEASING Hundreds of THOUSANDS of criminals from jails and prisons whats one more? More Liberal Double Standards What Trump did is Constitutional Retweet if you agree

PUT DOWN THOSE ARMS!!

MCP ....You guess it .... Most Corrupt President!!!

REAL Crimes: DemCities 🐀🐀🐀: 👉 DemCities💩💩💩: 👉 DemCities 🔥🔥🔥: 👉 DemCities☠️☠️☠️: 👉 DemCandidate:😱😱😱 👉 WalkAway

The entire Russian Investigation brought on by the Washington Liberals was a Hoax! We the people should be reimbursed for the tax money they spent on a “which hunt”

It just further proves how corrupt he is.

He can pardon/commute just like king “o” did!

I don't know how this is even possible. lawlessness.

Never has such blatant corruption graced the halls of the White House. Another sad day for American democracy

.If 8000 non-violent criminals can be released in California because of the Covid virus then the president had every right to commute Roger stone.

How did he assist him? Mueller did not find a crime. Anyway, I’m not a RS fan but I’m ok w this decision. Cali is letting another 8k criminals out of prison bc of covid. This crazy guy is pushing 70. Remember when the swat team came to his home to arrest him? 😂 Give me a break.

Every morning, I keep begging God for someone to remember me. No matter how little. Begging is better than stealing. I'm not asking to be Rich but just to eat food. This is my Bitcoin wallet 17xenXHRxLxDEoCVjYpLjnsE6KqgwpHuUp. My PayPal ekky4kityahoo.com

she's right.

The impeachment fiasco was ridiculous, a waste of time and taxpayer’s money. For once just do your job.

He has such a slappable face

Are democrats not liking this? As Pelopy once said, 'people just do what they do.' Irony

Trump supporters have fallen so far from decency they are more cult than American now

Translation: You framed Roger Stone based on the crime to protect Pelosi’s cabal of baby killers and Lolita flyers.

A clown pardons another clown!! There's a circus in town!!

Except that it's the law, which, the legislature writes - and she's in charge of. So there's that.

Obama issues more computations than the 13 previous presidents combined. Clinton pardoned Marc Rich after receiving a $1 million donation to his library. Not a peep from the Speaker.

Let him enjoy freedom as a return to sacrifice done

Nancy needs more botox

DENY! DIVIDE! LIE! POLARIZE! and BLAME! FIRE HIM!!! Vote him out... Nov 3, 2020

Old white manipulative racist congressidiot Nancy Pelosi is unconstitutionally attacking President's prerogative to pardon whomever he pleases. Stop destroying our constitution, SpeakerPelosi. Resign!

realDonaldTrump pardoning himself doesn't seem out of the realm of his alternate reality anymore...

Cry us a river!

No Nancy, you’re ridiculous.

Obama and Clinton both pardoned the mother-load when they left office

And you'll do absolutely nothing about it! You're all crooked in one way or another!

Blah blah blah...shut up Nancy Peluca

Enough Time for this criminal president to face justice.
