Two years ago, Roger Stone, a longtime associate of President Trump, was sentenced to 40 months in prison for lying to Congress, among other counts, during the failed fiasco of the Mueller investigation into the non-existent collusion of then-candidate Trump with Russian operatives to rig the 2016 election in his favor.
Stone, now 67, was arrested in a predawn raid on his home by a heavily armed SWAT team, “coincidentally” caught by a CNN camera crew that just happened to be parked outside his home at 4 a.m. Imagine that.
According to Jan Wolfe from Reuters, Stone had connections to the WikiLeaks website, which released damaging emails about Trump’s election rival Hillary Clinton. Uh oh…can’t have those damning e-mails released. Hence the sadistically harsh sentence – the original recommendation was seven-to-nine years – and the brouhaha when President Trump commuted Stone’s sentence a couple of weeks ago.
Of course, the leftwing media were “outraged,” “shocked,” “appalled” at President Trump’s miscarriage of justice. You would think, as reported by Mark Hyman, that he had just pardoned two-dozen FALN Puerto-Rican terrorists who murdered at least 24 people. Or commuted the 58-year sentence of far-left terrorist Susan Rosenberg after only 16 years.
Or pardoned Marc Rich, who renounced his U.S. citizenship, did business with Iran while it held 52 U.S. hostages, and with Libya which was responsible for the Pan Am 103 bombing that killed 189 Americans.
Oops, that was President Bill Clinton. Just before good ole boy Bill issued the pardons, Rich gave $450,000 to the Clinton Library and his wife Denise donated over a million dollars to the Democrat Party and the Clinton Foundation. Imagine that. But not a word from the craven media.
Many of Barack Obama’s pardons and commutations were for drug dealers and violent offenders, as well as for Chelsea (formerly Bradley) Manning, the traitor who leaked hundreds of thousands of sensitive documents to WikiLeaks and was convicted and sentenced to 35 years in prison; for the convicted terrorist Oscar Lopez Rivera, the leader of the FALN, responsible for 130 attacks in the U.S., who was serving a 70-year sentence when Obama set him free, et al.
But Stone lied to the proven pathological liars in the Obama regime’s FBI, CIA, DOJ, et al, who were trying to frame candidate and then President Trump.
Well, whaddaya know? The entire uproar is already off the radar as the corrupt media are now back to:
- Covering for the escalating crimes of BLM and Antifa;
- Pretending that the Centers for Disease Control are not dispensing erroneous information about COVID-19,
- Failing to report on the jaw-dropping incompetence of the Democrat mayors in our country – de Blasio in New York, Eric Garcetti in L.A., Lori Lightfoot in Chicago, Bernard “Jack” Young in Baltimore, Ted Wheeler in Portland, Ore, on and on and on – who are clearly incapable of stemming the steep upsurge in crime, including murder,
- Trying to ignore the recent resignee from the New York Times, liberal Bari Weiss, who outed the newspaper as the racist, sexist, anti-Semitic rag it has been since its inception.
The vast American public out there already knows of the Democrats’ double standards. They see the breakdown of law and order in Democrat-run cities and its encroachment into the suburbs.
They are watching Joe Biden’s rapid devolution. Happily, the Democrats themselves are now waking up!
