Trump commuted his sentence to buy his silence. Roger Stone must have threatened to spill on the Russian Interference.

Another Nondisclosure agreement on the table.

President Donald Trump on Friday commuted the prison sentence of longtime adviser Roger Stone, who was found guilty of seeking to thwart congressional and FBI investigations into alleged ties between the Trump campaign and Russia.

Stone, 67, was sentenced in February to three years and four months in prison after a trial late last year where a jury found him guilty on all seven felony charges brought by Special Counsel Robert Mueller.

The White House said in a statement: "Today, President Donald J. Trump signed an Executive Grant of Clemency commuting the unjust sentence of Roger Stone, Jr," calling Stone "a victim of the Russia Hoax that the Left and its allies in the media perpetuated for years."

Trump acted just after a federal appeals court panel denied a last-ditch bid by Stone to delay an order for him to surrender at a federal prison in Jesup, Ga. next Tuesday. Stone claimed he suffered from health conditions that put him at serious risk of dying if he went to that prison, which is experiencing a coronavirus outbreak.

Trump's move to protect a close ally from a conviction stemming from a probe that also included an investigation of Trump’s own conduct quickly set off explosive recriminations in the Democratically controlled House, where leaders have long said clemency for Trump’s inner circle would amount to obstruction of justice. It also comes despite Attorney General Bill Barr’s declaration that Stone’s prosecution was “righteous” and that his sentence was fair.

“Stone repeatedly lied to the House Intelligence Committee under oath and threatened a witness, all to cover up an effort by President Trump and his campaign to secretly communicate with Wikileaks and exploit its release of Russian-hacked emails targeting his opponent,” House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam Schiff said in a statement. “With this commutation, Trump makes clear that there are two systems of justice in America: one for his criminal friends, and one for everyone else.”

House Judiciary Committee Chairman Jerrold Nadler and House Oversight Chairwoman Carolyn Maloney said they intended to immediately seek a briefing from the White House counsel about the circumstances of Stone's commutation.

Trump’s involvement in the case prior to Friday — criticizing the initial sentence proposed by prosecutors, attacking the judge and jury in the case — had already prompted howls of outrage from Democrats, accusations of self-dealing and warnings from Justice Department veterans about an effort to shatter the justice system’s independence to benefit the president.

It is now they will appreciate what Bill Gates has been doing. Let's wait till Malaria drug is affected.

Hope FFK and co will start picking the tab after demonizing Bill Gates?

That some Africans support this white supremacist is the worst case of being against one's self-interest.

Get lost

Trump is a Cheat!

Due to poor response and management, Trump has to bear the blame for the deaths of over 130,000 Americans.

Trump will be voted out come November.

To the rest of the world, the United States of America is now, officially, a "Shithole Country".

The rebuttal of Buhari saying he didn't make that promise according to thread link you sent has no verifiable link from a media house.

If the news was fake news, those two media houses would have removed it from their website since 2015.

You are one of those that thinks if you repeat a lie long enough, it will become true.

Read the article, there were never a time he claimed Naira will be equal a dollar.

Perpetually repeating the propaganda will never persuade the informed. Keep clinging to PDP propaganda.

Kissiemu:
Nna men!

You are wicked. Is it this small thing that you now told him this big thing?

You are a victim of junks and falsehood. You swallowed it as if it were true because the mockery appealed to you.

Liberate yourself

From now on, if you keep believing the lie, then know that ignorance fits you perfectly.

Either Trump refuse to contest for second term for some fony reasons OR Biden wins with a landslide.

And TREATMENT?

Can you fast forward to the type of medication and remedies for the early stages.

Also after recovering, can the patient contact it again? Also is the reinfection (if yes) more severe or milder?

The data was before businesses started closing back due to the second wave of covid 19. It is not the true reflection of current realities.

Trump losing in November will lead to economic growth. His fearmongering is a declaration of desperation of a drowning man.

Qstorm:
Just shut the fvck up if you got no clue. Stupid ass niggas that don't know jack be blowing off like fools. I'm sure you're one of those braiwashed sheep stuck on fake news meth pipes.

Another lost deplorable. Ahaha, I knew it!

Trump is losing. No 2 ways about it.

Qstorm:
What Trump said is the absolute f*cking truth.

So the white supremacist don't even need to campaign. All he has to do is snap his fingers all the African American voters will queue up for him?

You need to be ashamed of yourself.

Rotimi Fashakin on point. Bode George will be regretting ever granting that yeye interview. He has been beaten black and blue.

Just because Buhari no gree share job slots or even allow recommendation letters.

These politicians are very wicked.

Trump is an entitled white supremacist who expects African Americans to fall at his feet.

He thinks it is very disrespectful he is even expected to request before they all march out to queue up for the master.

That any Black person will still support this clown is where the suprise is.

Tufiakwa.

Trump and the Republicans are just hating on this healthcare law because it was enacted President Obama.

Till date, they don't have any alternative bill that will replace it and provide affordable health insurance for over 20 million people including those with
pre-existing conditions.

Trump should continue with this insane push. With Corona Virus, this will be landslide victory for Boden.

Now the bag is secured!

Unopposed at what cost, agreement and promises?

MikeBetty:
Says Who? Simple Question, Why Didnt He Want To Give Whites First? At Least His Countrymen?

Read again, not just the title. The first people he is advocating for are health workers who are on the frontline.

The major issue is that wealthy countries should not hurd it first.

Castigate Bill Gates all you want, the man has done exceptionally well for humanity.

His criminality is Fearless!

Golan007:
Clorox and hydroxychloroquine use in the treatment of Coronavirus disease nko?

Add encouraging people to drink deadly Bleach and Ultraviolent Lights. Grabbing them by the P. Endless lies and falsehood.

That man is crazy!

Johnnico1:
Then that will be an easy win for APC. He needs to join PDP to have any chance of winning the forthcoming election.

It will cost him a lot to secure a deal with PDP. Obaseki is bargaining from a position of weakness. Worst he is desperate and also running out of time.

It is either he folds or disgrace himself. His Move!
