Not So Fast Roger!: Judge Berman Demands Copy of Trump Commutation

Well, well, well. The axiom remains: always give any Trump news 24 to 48 hours to play out cause these people lie like you and I breathe oxygen, the media will run anything that drives clicks, and social media is their fuel for reporting instead of actual investigation.

Turns out Judge Amy Berman Jackson needs a little more than a twitter post to prove that Roger Stone meets the criteria for commutation:

AP:

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson ordered that the parties provide her by Tuesday with a copy of the executive order that commuted Stone’s sentence.

Yeah but Twitter told me CheetoJesus said Roger was free and even posted a letter so it *has* to be true!

She also asked for clarity about the scope of the clemency, including whether it covers just his prison sentence or also the two-year period of supervised release that was part of his sentence.

Uh-oh, sounds like not only does Rog need to show his papers, but Berman knows enough about his situation to hint at a commutation not being enough to solve his problems. Guess just waving a magic wand and saying ‘commutation’ doesn’t fly in the judicial branch. Maybe next time try Expelliarmus?

UPDATE:

If we apply the Trump Demention Projectory Inversion Theorem where the bigger the gloat, the bigger the delusion then…

You might be in trouble Rog.
