Abuse of power ? The Obama Administration in tandem with the Clinton Campaign committed the biggest abuse of power in America’s history.

Meanwhile,

He is going back

Good job! Someone who can do something is doing something!

So called “white collar” criminals don’t belong in prison anyway. The US has far too many people incarcerated. Prison should be a sentence for VIOLENT offenders only, not for some despicable, obnoxious clown.

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is violating the USConstitution. POTUS can commute the sentence of any damn person he sees fit to, period. There is ZERO authority for any judge to hold a hearing on what PART of a sentence that is REALLY commuted. SeparationOfPowers

Bet this judge didn't care when Obama did over 1000 of them, including releasing the traitor, Chelsea Manning! This is ALL for show....

It would be peak irony if he were sent to jail on account of the President’s botched paperwork.

And I want to have an oversight to the thousands of criminals released into the public because of COVID concerns? DemocratsAreDestroyingAmerica NYTSocialistMediaSource

Because Roger Stone was convicted with overwhelming evidence, for lying, obstructing justice, & intimidating a witness Judge Jackson: “He was not prosecuted...for standing up for the president. He was prosecuted for covering up for the president.”

I'm sure they'll get right on that...

Trump is YOUR PRESIDENT, POUND SAND!!!!

and what is judgey-wudgie gonna do about it ? hmm ? call Barr and cry ? No Rule Of Law for TRE45ON

Welcome good job 👏

It's this simple. Trump has presidential pardoning powers. He said release him so like a good underling of the order, you simply release him and mind our business.

The scope is pretty obvious, but I see you

Judge will be fainted once reading the commutation order of covid uncle.

Anyone else see a trend here? Anything regarding Trump gets questioned to eternity by judges now,in attempts to undermine, or at least drag out the process.

Alright go for obstruction

If ya rich, you can do what you want. If you are poor, they put you in prison with killers and rapists for weed. Fuck this govt!

All this after .. What is the POINT

Just like when Obama let hundreds of felons out and let 5 terrorist trade for one traitor. Same thing. The first talk about Obama then talks about President Trump.
