It was always pretty clear that Benedict Donald was never going to let Roger Stone go to prison. Hence the commutation of Stone's sentence on a Friday night, when the White House assumes no one will notice. How interesting that one of Trump's 2016 battle cries was "Drain the swamp!" Consider the swamp not drained.
On the other hand, what does this say about the fact that Paul Manafort is still incarcerated?
We cats expected this Stone outcome, so we were already trying to figure out if it was too Inside Baseball to matter to suburban (and other) voters. Our conclusion was that if folks didn't know all the ins and outs of the Stone saga, they would still recognize a storyline that reeked of corruption when they saw it.
So, take another three points off Trump's approval rating, when we get around to polling on it. Benedict Donald has decided he'd rather lose in November than the country find out the dirt that Stone has on him.
Ironically, all the Trump garbage will come out in the end — after, and perhaps well after, Joe Biden wins the Electoral College by 279 (Cook Political Report's rather conservative estimate). The perfidy and depravity will be almost too much for the country to comprehend. It just makes us wonder how people like Roger Stone, and Donald Trump, will manage to live their post-presidential lives without unending torture and harassment. We cats HISS.
