The Stone commutation is invalid & improper. It violates the spirit of the Constitution (even if not the letter of the Constitution). I contend it’s the product of a criminal conspiracy & constitutes obstruction of justice (& a perversion of justice). But here’s the tough part -
How can it be challenged? And by whom? To challenge something in court, you need “standing.” This means you must be personally/directly impacted by the act, in this case, the Stone sentence commutation. Let’s set aside the obvious argument that ALL AMERICANS are affected -
by the Stone criminal commutation because Stone and Trump successfully and nefariously hid from the American people evidence of a president’s criminal conduct resulting in his (invalid) election. Yes, that damages/injures every American and harms the nation. So, we -
should ALL have standing to challenge the commutation. But courts may not buy that standing argument. Second, because Bill Barr is a corrupt AG, serving as Trump’s criminal defense attorney instead of representing the interests of the American people, Barr will not allow the -
Department of Justice to bring righteous cases in court that could negatively impact the president. If Barr was a law-abiding/law-enforcing AG, he would allow fed prosecutors to indict Stone for conspiracy, bribery, extortion & obstruction of justice, for openers. But Barr won’t.
Hypo - if Biden’s DOJ discovered that a criminal paid Donald Trump to corruptly issue a pardon and Trump did so, would anyone contend that such a corrupt pardon could not be rescinded/revoked/undone? That would be an absurd result, IMO. Biden’s DOJ should also launch a full, fair
apolitical grand jury investigation of Stone, Flynn Trump and every single corrupt politician that spent the past four years destroying our country, our institutions and the rule of law. Americans deserve nothing less. #TrumpCrimesCommission #TheTrumpTrials
