I have a question. Donald Trump's long time friend and associate Roger Stone, ...has been convicted of seven felonies, including obstruction of justice in the Congressional investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 Presidential election, lying multiple times under oath to Congress, forging documents, and threatening a witness with bodily harm if the witness testified. He blatantly ignored a gag order placed upon him and threatened a Federal judge. For these crimes U.S. prosecutors recommended for Roger Stone a prison sentence of seven to nine years. In response to the prosecutors' sentencing recommendation for his friend Donald Trump tweeted: Immediately following that tweet senior Justice Department officials ...stepped in to overrule the prosecutors' decision and filed a request for a more lenient sentence for Roger Stone. One by one, all four U.S. prosecutors quit the case in protest. Donald Trump subsequently praised William Barr for intervening in Roger Stone's behalf, attacked the prosecutors and demanded that they apologize to Stone. Trump also went on to slander the character of the Federal judge, ...who will hand down Roger Stone's sentence, with the aim of intimidating her into handing down the lighter sentence recommended by William Barr. So then, in view of all of the above, here's my question: To all those loyal supporters and unquestioning, unequivocal defenders of Donald Trump, how do you defend this behavior? How do you defend that he is using his power as President of the United States to influence the court for the benefit of a friend? How do you defend this corruption of our system of justice? Or do you even consider it corruption of our justice system? If you've found a rationale to defend every behavior of Donald Trump's up until this point, how do you defend his behavior this time? Or Do you? ...and, just for good measure, also firing Vindeman's brother, who is also a career Army officer, from his White House job? Do you defend Donald Trump for those actions? Or not? If so, how? I'd just like to know. References
