Trump’s defiant help for Roger Stone adds to tumult in Washington

LA Times  

President Trump’s intervention in a criminal case connected to his own conduct drew fierce rebukes Saturday from Democrats and a few Republicans, with calls for investigations and legislation. The decision to commute the sentence of the 67-year-old Stone — who was convicted of crimes including lying to Congress to protect the president and was due to report to prison Tuesday — was loudly celebrated by some in Trump’s orbit as a triumph over what they characterized as “deep state” prosecutorial overreach. House Intelligence Committee Chairman Adam B. Schiff called it “offensive to the rule of law and principles of justice.” And Trump’s Democratic challenger, Joe Biden, resurfaced a 2019 tweet in which he said that “Trump has surrounded himself with people who flout our laws — we shouldn’t be surprised that he thinks he is above the law.” Biden added: “Still true.” Republicans largely stayed silent on the issue Saturday, reluctant again to challenge a president who remains very popular among rank-and-file GOP voters. Sen. Patrick J. Toomey signaled dismay with the commutation, saying in a statement Saturday that it was a mistake, while calling the Russia investigation “badly flawed” and a source of “frustration.” He added that Stone had been duly convicted and that any objections to the conviction and trial “should be resolved through the appeals process.” Republican Mark Sanford, the former South Carolina congressman who made a short-lived presidential primary challenge to Trump, wrote: “So much for the Republican Party being the party of law and order. South Carolina Sen. Lindsey Graham, a Trump confidant, said Stone was convicted of a “nonviolent, first-time offense” and therefore the president was “justified” in commuting the sentence.
