President Donald Trump immediately slammed the conviction of former adviser Roger Stone on charges of lying to Congress and witness tampering, accusing federal prosecutors of employing a double standard compared to the treatment of Trump's foes.
“Well, what about Crooked Hillary, Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Shifty Schiff, Ohr & Nellie, Steele & all of the others, including even Mueller himself? Didn’t they lie?” he added without elaborating on his accusations, musing whether there might be “a double standard like never seen before in the history of our Country” at play.
There has been running speculation since Stone's indictment that the eccentric political operative has been angling for a pardon from Trump. The longtime GOP consultant did not strike any kind of deal to cooperate with the special counsel unlike some other Trumpworld figures swept up in the probe. Stone's case was handed off to federal prosecutors when the special counsel’s office wound down earlier this year.
That would be the orange idiot's way of life.
Well, yeah. There's realDonaldTrump's corrupt, self-serving standard and there's the actual rule of law. They are indeed very, very different.
