President Trump has pardoned Roger Stone and Paul Manafort along with 24 other persons in a wave of clemency orders on Wednesday.
♦ Paul Manafort—Today, President Trump has issued a full and complete pardon to Paul Manafort, stemming from convictions prosecuted in the course of Special Counsel Mueller’s investigation, which was premised on the Russian collusion hoax. Mr. Manafort has already spent two years in prison, including a stretch of time in solitary confinement – treatment worse than what many of the most violent criminals receive.
As a result of blatant prosecutorial overreach, Mr. Manafort has endured years of unfair treatment and is one of the most prominent victims of what has been revealed to be perhaps the greatest witch hunt in American history. As Mr. Manafort’s trial judge observed, prior to the Special Counsel investigation, Mr. Manafort had led an “otherwise blameless life.” Since May, Mr. Manafort has been released to home confinement as a result of COVID-19 concerns.
♦ Roger Stone— Today, President Trump granted a full and unconditional pardon to Roger Stone, Jr. President Trump had previously commuted Mr. Stone’s sentence in July of this year. Mr. Stone is a 68-year-old man with numerous medical conditions.
Due to prosecutorial misconduct by Special Counsel Mueller’s team, Mr. Stone was treated very unfairly. He was subjected to a pre-dawn raid of his home, which the media conveniently captured on camera. Mr. Stone also faced potential political bias at his jury trial. Pardoning him will help to right the injustices he faced at the hands of the Mueller investigation.
I wish that our President Trump would grant a full pardon to the American people and declare that the Chi Com Flu state of emergency is officially OVER.
Meaning that ALL our Constitutional rights are restored, no mask mandates and no lock downs permitted.
I have been hoping, waiting, wishing, and praying for that to happen as well!
Has anyone been made nervous about these pardons coming right now, as if the president is accepting the possibility that he will not have a second term, and so now is his opportunity to issue these pardons?
I think the pardons were done now so that everyone could celebrate Chrstmas.
I hope that President Trump will do a Christmas/Holiday speech to the nation. It is very much needed.
Yes, a Christmas speech would be most excellent! And I do hope your idea on why the pardons are happening now is in fact correct!
For the president NOT having a second term would bring upon us unimaginable harm from the DEM-Communists.
Thanks for posting. I don’t think it’s possible to love our President any more than I do today. We are blessed to have him as our leader.
That’s what I was thinking. Giving them a Christmas of peace.
We the people and this country needs a Christmas present.
Listening to a video about how the nickel chasing shysters around the President are trying to get him to concede are sickening.
I sure hope this is just a Christmas present to people who have been wronged and both else
Yes. But failing to plan for the worst case is foolish.
why worry about the timing. I am just glad he did it.
Ausonius – I think you’re being more realistic than others here. Trump is no fool and realizes that as much as he is working hard to win and hopes to stay in office, he realizes that even most Republicans in Washington are against him along with the courts. I’m sure he was highly disappointed that his 3 SCOTUS appointees have not turned out well when they voted against hearing the Texas suit. And I read yesterday that while people are thinking that Jan. 6th when Pence oversees the joint session of Congress to accept or reject the Electoral College vote, Pence has planned a trip to the Middle East and won’t be in the US at that time. If that’s true, it is not good news. President Trump may certainly have wanted to give these people a good Christmas with the pardons, but he’s also smart enough to play his cards carefully to make sure he can attain as many goals as possible, and these pardons are one of them.
It should also be noted regarding the pardons that Andrew Weissman was very angry about the Stone and Manafort pardons and already said that all they have to do is wait until after Trump is out of office and drag the two of them before a grand jury again and catch them lying and they will be prosecuted for lying and be back in prison. These people don’t just want Trump gone, they want everyone on his side destroyed.
Give a reference to when Pence will not be present…No One does something like that on a VERY important day such as that!!!
Eagle- thanks! I was just going to write the same thing.
I meant to write that I heard it, not read it. But where I heard it was on a local radio show. I had not had time until this morning to check his travel schedule to see whether the information was accurate. The good news is that I saw it reported on Times of Israel’s website that he isn’t leaving until after the joint session of Congress. Here’s that link: https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/pence-plans-to-visit-israel-bahrain-in-tour-starting-january-6-report/
Which could easily mean;
FIRST, I reaffirm the PDJT is POTUS, THEN, as V-POTUS (and with THAT resolved, I head to the ME, to get the ME peace plan back on track, by spearheading several MORE agreements between Israel and Arab countries.
It DOES seem like that initiative kind of stalled a little bit, after the shamelection, and NEEDS a “jumpstart”.
Put another way, why would Pence, as a “lame-duck V-p, go to ME?
So, I take his travel plans as a positive sign.
Dave, I am with you, we have to have eyes open. It is heroic of the President to pursue the cheating the way he is doing, because at this cost of him being under all this further burden, we are finding out how it was done. And as for us, if we had not voted for him in such numbers, the haters would not have overrreached as they did. We have had some big discoveries of how they act, of how entrenched Dominion is. This is a huge thing itself that is happening. Gracious Losers are not much help.
And so…I hope 100% he is inaugurated in January but .. I have hope in God, and His design, and if Trump is not inaugurated in January, then I think he will be in 2024, it may be that he will be better placed to remedy the damaged planned for us, this way, for reasons we do not yet see. … I hate everything that is happening, but … it may be that a simple further four years would not solve so many things as the way the eight years will really go – with Trump on the outside, and then please God back at the WH. I do trust God’s design for us.
If things had gone otherwise then yes Trump would be in for four years now, and it would be fun, but meantime more states would have bought Dominion. We would not have known what we now do know, about … various people. We would eventually have a Democratic administration anyway, it would have to have been something stronger than this one, and it would be in for eight years going on forever,. All the projects of the left would have had four years to mature and be initially proposed. Now they must be pushed forward, somewhat immature though they are. They will NOT come forward under a strong administration backed by a strong supportive Congress and freshly packed court. They have a weak and intimidated four years to do what they can. I trust in God.
Former Dem: I do not want Trump to run again. Nothing will have changed, the globalist, media and the corrupt bureaucrats and politicians would still be against him. He and his family accomplished great things for this country, and have taken much abuse for doing so.
It is now up to the people to affect change. You have to start on the local level. Pay attention to elections for election commissioners and school boards. This is where the rubber meets the road. Work on up to mayors and state legislators. If you don’t like the way your governor handled the pandemic or the secretary of state handled the election, support and vote for a challenger in the primary.
Stop waiting for someone to come along and save the country. It’s not going to happen. One person can be sidelined and with illegal elections voted out of office. It’s up to the people to carry the torch Trump lighted.
Local elections are usually where they get their start. Barbara Boxer started at the Marin County Board of Supervisors.
There was a utility closet in the Chambers, in which she would publicly cuckold her nasty husband, screwing anything in pants to get political power.
Brenda Snipes of Broward used to be the Superintendant of Schools, and on school board before that.
I would like to see, at a bare minimum, “clemency” granted to Florida Governor DeSantis.
He came through yugely for the president. He cleaned up his state’s messy elections, while simultaneously doing an excellent (science-based) job handling the challenges presented by the coronavirus.
Notice I did not say “fighting” the virus. What he is having to fight is a report from the White House, full of babble and voodoo and fraud. Are we living in bizzaro world?
The quack and failure, Dr. Birx, is removed from public view, but I cannot see where there has been any attempt to clean up the mess she helped make.
Christmas Eve, and churches will not be making any joyful noise. They have been literally muffled. Dr. Birx said singing through your mask is not “safe”. That’s partly true, because the singer might pass out.
What should happen, what should have happened long ago, is that the rest of the lying frauds on the task force be given their walking papers.
Governor DeSantis should be issued a formal apology by VP Pence.
It’s too late, I fear, to get the word out to the churches, that no masks are necessary. What a shame.
“That on the first day of January in year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty-one, all persons held in involuntary confinement within any State, or designated part of a State, the government whereof shall then be in rebellion against, or acting contrary to The Constitution of the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free…”
(Extract from The Second Emancipation Proclamation issued pursuant to Executive Order by President Donald J Trump in January, the year of our Lord, two thousand and twenty)
(The above is both parody and prayer)
“issued in December 2020!”
All Trump needs to do is executive order to require cycle times for all PCR tests. Additionally lowering to 30 would make this go away fast.
All those involved who devised and carried out the Russian Hoax in attempt to overthrow a duly elected President should face military tribunals.
Start with the snake, Andrew Weissman.
Seal Team 6 should kidnap the bastard….on video so we can watch!
I first learned about him when reading Sidney Powell’s book on Enron. (Licensed to Lie). He is subhuman and thrives on being called a psychopath How he is still walking and talking, I have no idea. He ruins people to the core and takes pride in it.
NO Justice, No rule of Law- GOPe reveals itself as the corrupt monsters they are..
take the red pill America…leave the matrix created by the Uniparty globalists
All Micheal Cohen had to do was keep his mouth shut and he too likely would have gotten a pardon, but instead he caved.. Which I don;t get.. Why would anyone hire him as an attorney now after he turned on his client who would trust him, and why does he think the Dems will do anything for him once POTUS is out of office.. they will have no more use for him..
My take Roger Stone is a big mouth, a big talker, that is what got him in trouble. He wants to be more important than he is..
Same with George Papa D another big talker who got himself in trouble.
Paul Manafort well his family was into construction here in CT. I would imagine Paul had dealing with rather unsavory types (likely the mafia) he understood keeping his mouth shut..
None of them got themselves into trouble. The Insane Left, which is ILLEGITIMATE and ENTIRELY TREASONOUS, did it to them.
Paul Manafort did nothing in Ukraine that wasn’t done by Tony and John Podesta and the Podesta Group. He was hung out to dry while the Podesta scumbags were allowed to slither away with nary a peep from what I’ve come to believe is a criminal main stream media.
Please explain how Papa D “got himself” in trouble…You do know its because they could not get him to talk that “got him in trouble”, right? You do know that they arrested him at Dulles hoping he would have the $10,000 they tried to trick him into breaking the law with right? And I assume you also know that it is because he had noting to say to halper and mifsud that he was accused of “lyin to the fbi”?
Manafort did not “keep his mouth shut”. He had nothing to “keep his mouth shut” about. He refused to lie about candidate Trump. Pure and simple.
Roger Stone did not lie about anything. He “read the tea leaves” and talked openly about what he believe was going to happen. Then he refused to lie and claim candidate Trump was involved with him on the wikileaks drops.
I’m inclined to agree with you about Stone. But he didn’t deserve a pre-dawn 20-man SWAT raid. Most all of these sentences were outrageous for the “offenses” involved.
Wow, the last pair on the list got 85 yrs for a financial swindle. I won’t make any observations about excessive sentencing to white men.
Mark Shapiro and Irving Stitsky
Messrs. Shapiro and Stitsky founded a real estate investing firm, but hid their prior felony convictions and used a straw CEO. Due to the 2008 financial crisis, the business lost millions for its investors.
Prior to trial, prosecutors offered Messrs. Shapiro and Stitsky plea agreements for 5 to 7 years and 7 to 9 years, respectively. Both declined the deal and exercised their Constitutional right to a jury trial. Both men were found guilty and sentenced to 85 years imprisonment.
And the Antifa, BLM and other thug criminals who rape, rob, plunder and murder go free.
Not to mention the human scum like Comey & Co. who have sold out our Country to the highest bidder.
Finally the victims of Deep State persecutions receive justice.
When will the persecutors get theirs?
Aside from the obvious ones like Stone,Manafort and Papa D were most all these others POTUS pardoned or commuted people who were convicted during the reign of Mueller and Comey at the FBI.Is this POTUS big FU to them…
No, it is Donald Trump trying to do what is right.
You are thinking in political, us versus them, terms, like the two sides in a game. You (and everybody) need to get your head on straight, because on our side at least, and President Trump’s, it is not about politics so long as the Democrats remain a lawless mob and insane cult. It is about morality and the truth.
Recognition of that fundamental new reality (since 2008) has been lacking by all, and is what has gotten the country to the point of a years-long coup d’etat against a duly-elected President.
The Democrats BROKE the political system when they embraced lawless, radical and violent extremism with Obama, and became the Insane Left mob and cult.
We are fighting a CRIMINAL takeover of our country, by its own so-called “leaders”, the ultra-wealthy and ultra-privileged elite.
There is not a smidgen of truth in them. Not one.
Similar to a leopard’s spots, Democrats will never change. They enjoy being evil lawless hooligans. Look at what Weissmann tweeted about going after Manafort and Stone irrespective of the pardons. Weissmann is a communist, masquerading as an attorney, who does not believe in laws. His tweet (posted below) is among the most offensive and vile proclaimed intention anyone in a free country can utter. Weissmann is consumed with evil. He is an exemplary Democrat- his is a black soul of pure evil, thrashing as if in purgatory since eternity.
THESE are the types of people who will be commanding orders to Biden and Harris should these two snakes slither their way into the White House. God help us.
Snakes have to make it through life without any arms or legs and people are horribly abusive to them. Snakes are downright NOBLE compared to a typical Democrat. Democrats are more like mosquitoes or roaches.Love your post though!
A communist takeover by criminal means.
Great job.
Now grant 25 million men a blanket pardon for a year and let us take care of the communist insurrection.
Bravo. This is going to take a massive housekeeping operation, and I mean that in the mob sense.
I glad President Trump pardoned the victims of association Mueller and team targeted. I know many of these crimes charges are pleaded down. The abuse of the justice system from Feds to State is unconstitutional abuse!
Looking At The Charles Kushner Pardon. I Never Quite Understood Trump Having Chris Christie Around? I Always Wondered If It Had Anything To Do With “Genie-Energy” Being Based In New Jersey…. Looking At The Advisory Board Of “Genie-Energy” It’s Even More Confusing.. Rupert Murdoch, Dick Cheney, Bill Richardson, Jacob Rothschild, Larry Summers & James Wolsey. Did Trump Handing The “Golan-Heights” Oil Find To Israel Ruin Their Plans In Syria?…. Genie Energy – Wikipedia
Having Chris Christie around is a diet measure. He eats the food that might be a temptation to our President Trump.
That is a funny. LOL
Roger Stone, in Pinellas County Stop, Calls on Rick Scott to Challenge Electoral College Results
https://twitter.com/Perfectly_Clear/status/1340349825217404932
Odd. Been thinking the same thing about Rick Scott.
Scott caved on the traitorous Mike Lee S. 386 to screw American IT workers, and flood us with nepotistic Indians, who will NEVER adapt to our culture of honesty.
Great job, Mr. President! Frankly, if Trump isn’t rightly seated for a second term I sincerely hope he declassifies EVERYTHING! I mean it. Pardon Snowden. Pardon Assange. Let our institutions BURN; they are anyway as they do not have consent of the governed. I am a former soldier and everything I served for has been corrupted by these people. Let the CIA and FBI burn in misery.
Thanks Danimal for your service. I’m praying that your sacrifices and many more before you will be served right with a 2nd term.
Danimal, yes THANK you for your service. As for your comment… I couldn’t agree more
Couldn’t agree more! I spent 22 years in AF; hubby is a disabled vet. We served because we love this country, not so the Dems could steal elections and turn us over to the Chinese!!

Weissmann Lashes Out at Trump Over Manafort, Stone Pardons – Cooks Up New Plot to Prosecute Them for Perjury and Obstruction

“Easy enough to beat Trump at his game: put Stone and Manafort in the grand jury after 1/20/21 to get at what they have hidden from the government about Trump- and if they then lie, they can be prosecuted for perjury and obstruction,” Weissmann said in a tweet Wednesday night.
When people suggested that Paul Manafort and Roger Stone could just invoke their 5th Amendment rights, he said it’s a non issue.
“The fifth amendment issue is a non issue. Yes, those pardoned may still have a colorable fifth amendment claim but, even if they do, the government can immunize them and require them to testify in the grand jury. If they then lie they face criminal prosecution,” Weissmann said.
who will rid us of this piece of human waste that is Weissmann
“Oh, Boo-Hoo, Andrew. Someone get him a blankie to hug!”
Weissman has his total identity wiped out. His threat confirms his malice and his ugly political bias. Sidney and President have the dirt on him. He is setting himself up to have his mouth take him down like Avenatti.
So its damn double jeopardy full speed ahead?
When does he get to Assange?
Speaking of Julian Assange, I’ve had a question nagging me lately: over four years after the 2016 election, why has he never been charged with any crimes related to the alleged Russian hacking of the DNC network? Mueller & co. had no problem charging a bunch of Russians for buying Facebook ads, or whatever. With Assange they don’t have to worry about him evading justice, because he’s already in custody, and can be extradited and convicted, if they have a sufficiently strong case against him. We’ve been told there’s absolutely no question the Russians hacked the DNC, and that Wikileaks got the DNC documents from the Russians, so it should be a bulletproof case, right? Instead, he’s only been charged with a crime related to the Bradley Manning affair from back in 2010. Strange, huh?
Perhaps “discovery”?
The following is a tweet by Andrew Weissmann… stunning! Not about right/wrong.. legal/illegal…All about *revenge* I’m superior and I WILL get you!! Is there no one out there that can get something on this SOB to put in throught the wringer??!!
@AWeissmann_Easy enough to beat Trump at his game: put Stone and Manafort in the grand jury after 1/20/21 to get at what they have hidden from the government about Trump- and if they then lie, they can be prosecuted for perjury and obstruction.
Can’t he be disbarred if he is a lawyer?
Tempeement is clearly wrong for law enforcement.
No he won’t be disbarred but if you’re a lawyer and tweeted that you would be disbarred and charged with something.
Needs snipers.
Show me the man, I’ll show you the crime!!
One of those pardoned was police officer Mohr.
Read what the corrupt FBI did to her. She spent 10 years in prison.
What did she do?
Released her k 9 companion on a robbery suspect. He required 10 stitches.
God Bless P Trump.

I am glad Manifort has been pardoned. He has suffered much already at the hands of a corrupt SC team filled with lawyers who deserve prison themselves. 8 months in solitary Manifort endured. That is certainly psychological torture. Peace to him and his family this Christmas.
Please pardon Edward Snowden next. He was the first to sound the alarm about just what our government was now willing to do to control the lives of private citizens. He didn’t do it for money. He did it to warn us.
I’d pardon him, and give him The Medal of Freedom on the same day.
I second that!
I’m delighted.
President Trump well Done for giving all Them pardon,
from communist America liberals No justice and No Rule of Law,
Glory Be To God!
That’s a good start!
I can’t believe Im happy for Manafort, yet I totally am. There is no way in hell this man should be in prison if the Podesta brothers et al are walking free. Especially given they are likely still making millions.
and LOL Cohen. He made his bed.
I would take a hard look at every single conviction Scum Of The Earth weismann and every other dirtbag like him participated in.
There is a very high likelihood you’re looking at someone who’s been screwed by scumbag like him
Just read Sidney Powell’s “License to Lie.”
The isane lefties are screaming nonstop about Trump pardoning all these criminals. Even the low level offenses of drugs & non-violent crimes.
Aren’t these the same morons chanting to disband the police and eliminate jails? Pick a lane idiots.
Anybody read the pasts of the truly criminal lowlifes that Obama pardoned? Really, really bad people.
All I can say is Amen to the reasons justifying the pardons.
Pardon and release from prison all those whose convictions were due to the efforts of Muller or Weisman.
Let the two of them watch their backs for the rest of their lives.
Yes. None of these he pardoned committed crimes as heinous as Muller, Comey, etc. Too many to list.
Here’s an excellent article on Trump pardons and the connection to Jared Kushner.
https://amgreatness.com/2020/12/23/not-quite-maga/
If The President can Pardon can he Convict?
I’d love to see communist CIA Brennan get dragged off to prison…
No
? ? Glad to see, both were wrongly PERSECUTED.
Manafort’s treatment was horrific, regardless of any alleged financial crimes he might have committed in past! They had unauthorized access to his storage shed prior to any charges. Any evidence later taken should have been inadmissable!
However, a good portion of Congress deserve the same treatment or worse for their B$.

Looks like there may have been changes with commenting so this is just a test.
I wish everyone a merry Christmas and a better New Year than this last one.
While the dems whine about PDJT’s pardons – Slick Willy Clinton pardoned 456 people while in office. Many of which were bought & paid for.
Let’s hope he gets around to Assange, Snowden and a host of others worthy of being freed and getting their lives back.
Then – if we do not succeed in righting the outright fraud of the election – blanket pardons his family members. And if he cannot pardon himself – he will have to resign 1/18, swear in Pence and get pardoned by Pence.
You KNOW the PERSECUTIONS will continue. DJT will leave DC after 1/21 if he doesn’t get to stay in the WH (oh, how we all pray to GOD ABOVE that he does – even if it means martial law) – unlike his predecessor who STAYED IN DC, and continued to operate his criminal enterprise.
I sadly – lack the confidence of a positive resolution here. I believe with the smug confidence they exude, the left will continue to destroy this country. We’re at the precipice. The media is owned – the judiciary cower in fear for their own safety, the WH will be compromised, and the legislature will all be scurrying for their place in the pecking order.
GOD BLESS AND PROTECT PDJT – we thank him for the glimpse of what our country COULD HAVE BEEN – when our president PUTS US FIRST.
P Trump should mock Team Muller and tweet “should I pardon the corrupt prosecutors in the spirt of Christmas forgiveness?”
He needs to go further and pardon Julian and Ed. Stick the finger to the the deep state …
