GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz, a longtime defender of President Trump, says the President should pardon longtime Trump friend and former associate Roger Stone, who was sentenced to 40 months in prison in a case that saw several prosecutors quit.

Asked on ABC's daytime talk show"The View" just before Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison whether he thought Trump should grant Stone a pardon, the Florida Republican replied,"I do, and I think that it requires a review of the pardon power." Despite"View" co-host Meghan McCain's objection that Stone was"the swampiest swamp creature," Gaetz said,"Trump has pardoned 26 people. Obama pardoned over 1,700. Bill Clinton pardoned 459.

""I would agree that Roger Stone should be pardoned if for no other reason than that there has been a double standard in this country," he added, before listing several former Justice Department and intelligence community officials whom Trump and his supporters have accused of political bias and not having faced consequences.

Why? Because he knows things and you don’t want stone to get upset and spew out the truth about trump and republicans? 🤔

He is hoping he pardons him so he can claim he never had a dwi

Reagan is rolling in his grave the way the GOP has become the WWF

FlaDems FloridaGOP come on. How can you put up with this guy?

Where did all of these nuts come from?

He needs to play more softball

So the gold necktie is the new uniform for Trump sycophants?

Left doesnt care about equal justice. They just want anyone remotely connected to conservatives nailed to the cross for bullshit.!

Why! Should republicans support law breaking?

Coming from a guy who got off on his DUI’s!!

Who asked him?

Matt is wanting a pardon.

You are a very sick puppy. No offence to puppies.

Donnie Jr. and Eric better watch out.........Mattyboy is trying really really hard to become trumpy's favorite son.

Of course.

Stone did lie and did try to get a witness to not provide information. It is vital that justice be served on him. I would assume Trump will let him do 1.5-2 years then pardon him, or if he is going to lose the election Trump will pardon Stone in his final days.

Imprison Matt Gaetz.

Rep Matt Gaetz is the face of white male privilege if I ever saw it. smh

Of course you do. You are a Trump kiss up! Sad excuse for a public official!!!

Shut the hell up.

No fan of Stone, but the judge in the case should be placed under review. She is neither unbiased or fair and makes no effort to even hide it.

Is mr Gaetz looking for a window of opportunity for himself? Horrible that a President of a democracy must pardon criminals just because they’re of the same party. Asking this from Office can be taken as an act of crime. USA = banana republic

Andrew McCabe—0 months in prison Hillary Clinton—0 months in prison James Comey—0 months in prison John Brennan—0 months in prison Strzok & Page—0 months in prison But Roger Stone—40 months in prison Is this what 'Justice' looks like in America? 🤔

He should and he will, along with others, if it comes to it. The Russia hoax caught a lot of people up in “process crimes” which turned out to be a non-crime

Trump DOUCHEBAG!

Friends and families first

Of course he did.

Matt needs to be removed from congress, and banned. Both he & idol are vile. Stop interviewing these shitheads & talk about actual issues. Like the GOP selling out Americans & betraying their oaths of office. They swore to protect the Constitution from Domestic enemies. They lied

Mr Gaetz, why should Stone be pardoned? Please explain. There's been no remorse. The opposite. He defied a Judge texting and commentating on his case, smuggly commenting in court. Cus it's Stone being Stone - in which case why wasn't Bundy pardoned for just being Bundy? GOP

Gaetz is a Freedom Caucus traitor who will excuse anything to help destroy this country. Enemy. Call them what they are.

Lets vote these clowns out of office!

Guarantee trump will pardon stone after he loses the appeal

He will pardon him after trump collects the money for it if he hasn’t done so already

The drunk can't breath through his nose from all the shit in it.Iam sure Daddy's money will get you out of the next Crime you're involved in too.

HA HA HA HA how much deeper will trump corruption go!

Matt’s an idiot

I’m done. I’m moving to Canada. This guy just screams “Prick” and seems more like character in a movie.

But i thought this was the anti corruption guy the guy who couldn’t stand Hunter Biden making 50,000 a month? The what aboutism guy, damn he full of shit 😂

Honestly, it feels like he’s auditioning for an part in a thriller called THE WHITE HOUSE. Just like Kellyanne Conway and William Barr did.

So now Gaetz is running the country now!

Will his seat be up for grabs in 2020? If, so then vote him out to teach him an lesson.

that idiot was on the view today. he would not let the women speak. pitiful

Well, can you pardon the Vegas killer and the rapists and other people who are trump lovers too Omfg! This is corrupt minded people who represent people who trust them for truth and justice

You are a member of Congress. He lied to your institution & was incredibly disrespectful of your office. And you’re ok with that? Would you tolerate that from an employee? Your kids? Still a frat bro, Matt. Time to put on the big boy pants.

sad thing is he believes his own 🐮💩

🤮🤢🤮🤮🤮🤮🤢🤯🤯🤯 yet again “Trump and his gop frauds” think they are All above the law. Unreal !!

Foxnews Totally agree, because Clapper, Brennan, Paige, Comey, McCabe, and a host of others did the same thing without having a charge brought against them under our two tiered, biased, politically weaponized, abusive, legal system.

He's still not taking you back dude. Give it up.

🤦‍♀️

Agree!

This is in hopes he will get back in daddy's good graces after hisvote on the war limitations.

Never speak to the authorities: (1) anything you say that is good for you is hearsay, (2) anything you say that hurts you is admissible under the party opponent hearsay exception, and (3) if you “lie,” you’ll get an extra charge and a longer sentence.

now trump can say he was forced to pardon stone.

LockHimUp VoteHimOut

This administration is truly shameless.

His performance on TheView today was disgusting. Irritated they had him on, but actually glad MeghanMcCain called him out for this statement.

I agree.

Of course he did. 🤬

The law of the land isn't for sale.

Stop reporting on him; he’s still not relevant.

One of Trump's evil minions.

Trump only pardons the richs. Poor will root in jail cuz they don’t have money to give it to him

mattgaetz back on your knees serving Trump. We know what you'll bark before you even do it.

Have another drink.

So Rep. Gaetz who is a member of Congress has no problem with witnesses telling lies to Congress while under oath. Makes a person believe he does not take his oath of office serious.

Is there a chance mattgaetz is implicated?

And he should !!!! Did you hear about the lead juror ?

StroKz, brennan, clapper, Paige, et Al

As long as gaetz replaces him in jail.

Of course he did. Because when he isn’t getting enough attention, he has to say something even more asinine than the last asinine thing he said. Hopefully the people in his district will wake up and realize they elected a complete buffoon.

He can join him after he gets convicted.

And he is right! No pun intended!

InspiringU2

InspiringU2 Karma has big plans for you, Gaetz. That, or 'judgement day' (I am bidding on a front row seat for that)

Creepy guy.

InspiringU2

We the majority we the civilized members of society must vote trump and gaetz and the like out of office vote in s never seen before in history of this great country we must rid are selves of their hatred has no place in today’s society

Hey mattgaetz You’re a complete sellout. Maybe the next time you get popped for DUI and have to serve jail time, you’ll get a pardon too. mattgaetzisamoron

MattGaetzIsATool

mattgaetz should take his place. Because he is ok with people lying to the government

Absolutely

People like Gaetz, Jordan, Graham, Kennedy, McConnell are a disgraceful stain on the American flag that will take decades to wash out. Rep's should be insulted that they are Senators. Men like this do not shame the Party, Rep voters do, and they should speak out.

Free Roger Stone.

Agree

Can someone have a more punchable face?

Some things never change MattGaetzIsATool

Proving our point.

Trump should totally do it. Let dems investigate bullshit again and keep them busy

3+, yet; Holder Lied. Biggest committer of Fraud Against ALL American People IN HISTORY IS Obama. Liar/Lie 'of the year', & really even that is an understatement. Knew/admitted to Ryan on camera that what he was selling peeps was NOT true. Could NOT keep Dr, Plan, or save 5k/yr.

Free Roger Stone!

Crooks in the White House. They are making money by awarding their own private companies federal contracts and taking money from lobbyists to ruin our country and take advantage of the middle working class

RepMattGaetz hates law and order. Pardoning some implicated in crimes benefiting Trump would be corruption of the highest order.

WTF is going on with the repugnut party? Did they sign contracts with Putin that 4th of July a bunch of them were in Moscow?

MattGaetzIsATool

I can understand why RepMattGaetz

Sure but what these cronies RepMattGaetz realDonaldTrump and rest of GOP cult make sure they don’t tell you is: Roger Stone and ALL the TRUMP criminals who lied, conspired, evaded taxes, committed treason and more have been CONVICTED BY A JURY OF THEIR AMERICAN PEERS!🤷🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Cause he’ll need one too.

can he pardon your dwi?

PardonRogerStone

Why are they tripping all over themselves for Stone?

Gaetz is always barking with a disoriented face. Is he ok?

The Problem is that Congress who suppose to protect our laws is not doing anything about Trump n his mob who are trying to take over our government, our Democracy, and throw our rule of law that our constitution is supposed to be protected, is being flushed down the toilet,WTF!

Of course he did

Fuck we need a real life TheBatman

He should be too preoccupied with completing a DUI class and finding an upper lip to advocate for fucking Roger Stone.

Banana republic

Garbage

Bottom feeder.

This is one of the shadiest crooks in Washington right there.

Figures, he and stone have much in common

RepMattGaetz solidifying his position as 1 TRUMPublican sycophant and ass-clown in the House. It’s always a tight contest among Matt, Nunes, Collins and Gym Jordan for the title, but we can always count on Gaetz to do something to solidify his top spot on the podium.

The DC swamp runs deep. Pardon Stone.

Matt Gaetz is a washed up big mouth that talks a lot but nothing comes out of his pie hole only garble.He is another enabler of Don Trump. I’ve seen a lot of people like him and they don’t last very long before they find out nobody is listening too them. He will be done in Nov.

So then mattgaetz is definitely corrupt. Vote him out!

Well MattGaetzIsATool after all. He doesn’t think anyone should be held accountable for their illegal actions... drunk driving or witness tampering.

😡

Fucking nutfuck !

I like how sentences are handed out arbitrarily like deciding how long you want a car lease for. Ahhh,I'll take the 40 month sentence without the down payment. 36 months requires $1500 at signing. Our system is completely broken. And if you have connections, case dismissed.

Stone, like Matt Gaetz, loves the Crime but cannot hack the time!

Fuk it's a criminals paradise right now If I go rob a bank and say I'm a TrumpugliKan will I get a pardon?

You’re entitled to your opinion Mr. Gaetz, but that’s all.

MattGaetzIsATool

Are his constituents most concerned about this?

GOP, the party of corruption!

Gaetz has forehead for daaayyyyssss

I actually feel sorry for this kid. Ignorance is a serious problem...

QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK QUACK

prick

I thought the Democrats were the party that was soft on crime?

OMG.

mattgaetz is a 🤡 who takes him seriously?

He needs to shut up, good grief

They will put that bitch in Club Fed,and he will be paying for protection!

VoteBlueNoMatterWho

Setting himself up for his future pardon. Maybe for drunk driving - or worse!

🤮🤮he makes me puke

Was he sober when he made this statement

Stay off the roads. mattgaetz has been drinking AGAIN

Now now Mathew!!!!!

Jesus he’s drunk again

Matt Gaetz has lost any integrity he may have had.

Someone needs help with their re-election campaign.

Criminals gonna crime.

Ugh. Just. Go. Away.

That reminds me.. MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MattGaetzIsATool MuckFattGaetz

Why why why why why why?

🐒🐒🐒🐒🐒

Of course he would because mattgaetz RepMattGaetz is a corrupt criminal too

Stone probably will be going home before the end of the year,under the rule that Donald's friends are above Federal law.There may be state-charges waiting for him when he gets home,though Matt Gaetz,on the other hand,is probably trapped up Trump's ass for life,with no remission.

It would be weird if didn’t agree with the orange puppet master

looks like mattgaetz is angling for a pardon of his own

Another con man . Pardon Stone so when its your turn it’ll be okay too

Can someone please ask this idiot, or trump, to clearly explain why Stone (or Flynn) should be pardoned. He committed some serious crimes, went through the court system, found guilty, sentenced, but will prob walk. That's the end of the legal system.

The rule of law is gone in America. It's now a dictator who is judge jury and prosecutor

Gaetz should go to rehab.

For fuck sake!🤦🏻‍♀️🤯🤯🤯

Why is this news?

Lmao

Pardon stone!

No no no you koolaid drinking fool. You must be as crooked as Trump. A Pardon means he and Trump have a gag agreement.

He needs to spend his time pardoning people who were wrongfully convicted rather than letting proven convicted fellons go.

I am hoping Matt Gaetz will have to beg for a pardon from a Democrat President one day.

There goes Matt Gaetz...trying again to appear relevant.

YES HE SHOULD.

Fuck it. It's open season on corruption.

This dude truly lacks attention!

CNN won’t tell that the Forman of the jury that convicted Stone was a lawyer that had written negative things about the President and Roger Stone. She admitted to it.

Yes so he can help him cheat again...just disgusting.

mattgaetz trying to set the precedent for when it’s your turn?

What was that

Trump reduced 17 sentences... Obama reduced 804 sentences... Democrats are losing their minds...

Testing the waters. It is as if this ball boy took over Devin Nunes' job.

And CNN how is your long time friend and Presidential hopeful MichaelAvenatti doing?

RepMattGaetz They resigned from the case because Bill Barr was committing a crime and interfering in their job. You should start doing your job or resign. You’re a disgrace to the American people.

Mob Boss Trump certainly has his henchmen by the balls.

In case you need a pardon yourself

Hoax spelled backwards is xaoh. Matt, spineless spelled backwards is sselenips. Just sayin’.

I call for Floridians to vote him out!

Of course he does

This FakeNews of urs proves you to be working for terrorists ( like barackobama and HillaryClinton) against d great realdonaldtrump. KAG FreeBiafra2020

This Matt Gaetz continually tries to be revelant because he is a corrupt buddy of Trump Jr.
