Trump: Stone prosecutors quit "for moral reasons...they got caught in the act by me!"



“I don’t think they quit for moral reasons,” the president said. “I think they got caught in the act by me!”

“What am I going to do, let a man go to jail for nine years when murderers aren’t going to jail!” he fumed. “You have some of the most serious, horrible rapists and everything else, they don’t go to jail for nine years!”

Rivera then suggested that the prosecutors recommended between seven to nine years for Stone because they were trying to hurt him.

“They’re doing it because they’re bad people!” Trump replied.

Never mind that he still thinks five exonerated men who served time for a rape they didn't commit...should still be in jail.

Also, fuck that guy.

The Central Park Five were the first thing to come to my mind when I read his statement as well. How hypocritical he is. Of course, they were all African American men. His cult is just as racist as he is so they share his hypocrisy on such things with him.

The people who quit the DoJ or those who testified under oath and in public are heroic and
good Americans but Trump is just mobbed up bully who is owned by Putin and he is bringing
America down around him.

I hope we survive.

He doesn't care about rape or rapists. He nominated one to the Supreme Court.

Trump simply says whatever verbal diarrhea comes to his head. Murderers regularly go to jail for longer than 9 years, unless they are wealthy, then they can get shorter sentences because they have the best lawyers. Rapist get relatively short sentences because of the devaluation of women in society. Trump however, is not decrying those injustices. He gives less of a shit about that. Trump only knows how to muddy up the water with inane bullshit.

The people are resigning because they are tired of working in an obviously corrupt administration where they are hamstrung from doing their jobs.
