Re: Trump commutation of Roger Stone
> I am sure Trump would have preferred to wait until after the November election, but his hand may have been forced. Roger Stone was on the brink of entering prison. He made a statement that included the point that he had remained loyal to the president, not revealing what he knew.
Cite your source. Prove that Stone refused to reveal what he knew. I think that is an outright lie.
> In private, he made have made the implied threat more explicit.
How do you know what Stone said in private? Are you just making up "facts?" It sure seems like it.
> The last thing Trump needs leading up to the election is Stone indicating how he knew the plans for Russia's/Wikileaks' release of emails, and how he passed on this information to Trump. Better to just go ahead and commute Stone's sentence, and present it as just a favour to a close buddy.
Please give actual evidence of that. I think you are just making this up. Or relying on leftist MSM, and the MSM is just making up this up (as they do so often).
