Good

I don't know all the ins and outs of Roger Stone's problems with the law, but his crime apparently boils down to lying to one of the biggest liars in the House of Representatives, Adam Schiff. Also, I remember the circumstances under which Stone was taken into custody: heavily armed cops from multiple agencies, carrying semiautomatic rifles and wearing bullet-proof vests, and attended by a CNN crew to whom somebody in government leaked the news of the upcoming "raid". It was absurd political theater put together by Trump's enemies, and I am glad his sentence was commuted by the President (a matter that should not be particularly controversial given all the genuinely dangerous criminals and terrorists freed by Obama).

I also hope this serves as a shot across the bow of John Durham, whose investigation has, to date, yielded precisely nothing in the way of justice in the matter of the coup plotters. Trump needs to keep freeing people caught up in the collusion hoax on "process crimes", especially as long as the truly big malefactors continue to skate.

As I say, it's Trump and the Normals against all flags, and the election, and our survival as a free people, will probably turn out to be (to borrow from Wellington) a damned near-run thing.

If the response from the Hollyweirds is any guide, Stone's commuted sentence is good, fair, and only proper.

Yeah, that's a pretty good litmus test.

I love how the Democrats, and their network newsreader puppets, solemnly remind us all the Roger Stone is still a convicted felon (ignoring the fact that this is exactly what he wanted - he can continue to appeal his blatantly obvious political perse... prosecution and conviction, and clear his name. He would have to admit guilt to accept a full pardon.
