And unless they wait until after Trump leaves office, how will that matter?
They’d hopefully charge him after a Biden win.
Never forgive anyone who voted for this fucking shitstain. They are responsible for every goddamn thing that’s happened since.
Good thread by French on this shitshow.
Literal traitors, all of them.
I hope there’s a history to judge them as they deserve.

They just started back up the federal death penalty, didn’t they? I say we take it for a spin.
A point of order: since the sentence was commuted, rather than a pardon issued, the proper form of address/honorific is “convicted felon Roger Stone”.
Oh hey, have we stumbled upon the path to broad support for getting rid of felony disenfranchisement?
Even if a person is pardoned, it’s still quite accurate to call them a convicted felon, since yes indeed they were convicted. They’re just a pardoned convicted felon. So yeah, go right ahead and call, say, Dinesh d’Souza a “convicted felon.”
(The only time such a reference would be iffy is if the conviction were overthrown by an appeals court.)

“Now, I conceive that the President ought not to have the power of pardoning, because he may frequently pardon crimes which were advised by himself. It may happen, at some future day, that he will establish a monarchy and destroy the republic. If he has the power of granting pardons before indictment, or conviction, may he not stop inquiry and prevent detection?”
-George Mason, 1788 Virginia Debates
I think this Mason fellow was onto something.
Madison was sure the House would just impeach him and the Senate would actually listen to evidence.
What a rube.
They seem to have thought branch allegiance would always eclipse party allegiance, which seems nonsensical in the light of modern politics.
Robert Mueller just wrote an op-ed for the Post. Still not on the Post website, but I did just get the alert.
Glad he wrote this. Not going to impact Trumpers, of course, but fuck them.
Thanks for that, Billy. Perhaps we could have a comment today.

It doesn’t count because he was totally crossing his fingers under the table.
What is his state of residence, anyway (Stone’s)? I hope it’s one of those where you can’t vote if you’re a felon (especially given that he didn’t pay his debt to society because of the comical levels of corruption in this “Administration”).
He was living in Florida, not sure if that’s officially his residential state or not.
