This past week, Donald Trump unfairly influenced our criminal justice system by tweet.
Trump said that a seven-nine year prison sentence would be unfair to his former campaign colleague, Roger Stone. He also blamed the sentencing recommendation on career prosecutors who must be a part of the fictional "deep state."
Roger Stone was convicted--by a federal district court jury of his peers--of seven felonies for lying to Congress, witness tampering (he threatened to kill the service dog of potentially adverse witness Randy Credico), and trying to block the testimony of a witness whose account would have exposed his lies.
All to protect the president, according to nytimes.com.
But seven-nine years, which is within the federal sentencing guidelines, evidently is too much punishment for this multiple felon Roger Stone.
Today, Trump rescinded the 14 year sentence of former Virginia governor Rod Blagojevich, who extorted a friend on a no-doubt "perfect" phone call by offering to sell then Senator Barack Obama's congressional seat for private and political gain.
Smells familiar!
Today, impeachment acquittal-emboldened Trump declared himself--Almighty God-like or at least Chosen One-like--America's top law enforcement official.
Say no.
