Trump just commuted Roger Stone’s sentence.
Stone lied and intimidated witnesses to hide Trump’s exploitation of the Russian hack of his opponent’s campaign.
With Trump there are now two systems of justice in America:
One for Trump's criminal friends and one for everyone else.— Adam Schiff (@RepAdamSchiff) July 11, 2020
This is really simple: Trump ordered Roger Stone to work with Wikileaks. Stone lied to Congress about it, Trump lied to Mueller about it, and Stone protected Trump's lie by choosing prison over flipping. Now Trump has repaid him.— Justin Miller (@justinjm1) July 11, 2020
12/ Roger Stone got a fair trial. AG Barr said the prosecution & sentence were warranted. Trump has undermined the rule of law & our justice system to try to avoid whatever tales Stone might have to tell on him. He will burn down our system to save himself.— Joyce Alene (@JoyceWhiteVance) July 11, 2020
I’m not sure there ever has been a more openly, brazenly corrupt act committed by a president of the United States.— George Conway (@gtconway3d) July 11, 2020

Dear Robert Mueller & Associates,
You know what Stone did. You know how he covered for Trump. You understand why Trump's commutation of his sentence was corrupt, repayment for Stone's silence, a bribe, impeachable. Stand up and say something now. Now.
Thank you,

Unprecedented, historic corruption: an American president commutes the sentence of a person convicted by a jury of lying to shield that very president.— Mitt Romney (@MittRomney) July 11, 2020
On the other hand, we've been assured by no less than Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) that Trump learned a "pretty big lesson" from being impeached. (Lesson: "I'm above the law.")
