Free Speech For People


John,

Last night, President Trump once again abused his pardon power by commuting the prison sentence of his longtime ally, Roger Stone. Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison after he was convicted of seven felony counts, including obstructing a congressional investigation and witness intimidation. The convictions stemmed from Stone's efforts to impede Congress's investigation into Russia's interference with the 2016 presidential elections, crimes that Stone carried out in order to protect President Trump. As the sentencing judge, U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, explained in her closing remarks, Mr. Stone "was prosecuted for covering up for the president."

Now, just days before Stone was scheduled to begin his sentence, Trump has ensured that his political fixer will not face a single day in jail. *This is unacceptable.*

*Sign the Petition: Tell the House Judiciary Committee to open a new impeachment inquiry against President Trump for his abuse of the pardon power to keep the convicted felon Roger Stone out of jail and to preserve the cover-up.* [ [link removed] ]

Today, Free Speech For People issued a letter to Chairman Jerrold Nadler and Vice Chairwoman Mary Gay Scanlon of the House Judiciary Committee, urging the Committee to convene an impeachment inquiry against President Trump for this high crime and determine whether to recommend new articles of impeachment. You can read the full letter here. [ [link removed] ]

The power to pardon is not absolute; it should only be exercised in a manner consistent with other parts of the Constitution. And the Founders, who recognized the possibility of its abuse, looked to impeachment as the answer for this abuse. It is, therefore, the responsibility of the House of Representatives to hold President Trump accountable and uphold our Constitution.

*Sign if you agree: The House Judiciary Committee must protect our democracy and hold Trump accountable for his corrupt abuse of the pardon power.* [ [link removed] ]
