McEnany Calls Commutation of Roger Stone’s Prison Sentence a ‘Very Important Moment for Justice’

Amid criticism of President Donald Trump’s decision to commute former campaign aide Roger Stone’s prison sentence, White House Press Secretary Kayleigh McEnany is defending the move.

“The 👤Roger Stone clemency was a very important moment for justice in this country,” McEnany said during a press briefing on Monday. “You had a completely bogus Russian witch hunt that found nothing, and in order to justify the waste of taxpayer dollars, you had Robert Mueller charging people with process crimes.”

She continued to allege that there are “two standards of justice,” with one that favors the opponents of the president and a different standard for supporters of Trump. 

“The last time I checked, they didn’t have 29 FBI agents wearing tactical gear showing up at their house in a predawn raid wielding M-4 rifles and sweeping across the lawn, as with 👤Roger Stone … Instead, McCabe and Clapper and Brennan and these guys are given lucrative contracts, books, contributor ships. There are really two standards of justice in this country, as Adam Schiff noted, fortunately, he doesn’t have the facts to back up the way he meant that term.”

Stone was convicted on charges of lying to Congress, obstruction of justice, and witness tampering.
