President Donald Trump Grants Full Pardons to Roger Stone, Paul Manafort
Both men were ensnared in Robert Mueller’s Russia conspiracy investigation.
President Donald Trump granted full and unconditional presidential pardons to Roger Stone and Paul Manafort on Wednesday night, quashing the criminal convictions of two former Trump campaign figures who were railroaded by Robert Mueller’s Russia conspiracy prosecution.
Paul Manafort briefly served as Donald Trump’s campaign manager in 2016. On account of his political work, he attracted attention from the Special Counsel’s investigation, and was ultimately convicted of several financial crimes and failing to register as a foreign lobbyist when consulting the government of Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych.
Stone’s prison sentence was already commuted in July, sparing the 68-year old man a prison sentence of years for process crimes.
Stone had been railroaded in a fashion even more severe than Manafort was, having been convicted of a single process crime of lying to the FBI during interrogations probing supposed Russian interference in the 2020 presidential election. Stone had been subject to an ethically questionable armed FBI raid that was coordinated with CNN, federal agents arresting the senior citizen at gunpoint in his pajamas before dawn at his home.
Trump also pardoned Charles Kushner, the father of his son-in-law, Jared Kushner. The elder Kushner was convicted of making illegal campaign contributions, tax evasion and witness tampering in 2005.
Pervasive FBI misconduct, political bias in the federal bureaucracy, and criminal convictions of government officials trying to railroad charges against Donald Trump associates has long since sullied the credibility of prosecutions levied by Mueller, and critics of federal corruption have long encouraged the President to pardon figures that were subjected to ‘deep state’ prosecutions.

Prosecutors Want Stricter Bond Restrictions for Kyle Rittenhouse for Hanging Out with Proud Boys
The Proud Boys are proud of their boy, Kyle.
Kyle Rittenhouse, out on bond after shooting three ANTIFA rioters and killing two at a Kenosha, Wisc. riot scene last summer, is under scrutiny from authorities for merely having a good time at a bar.
Rittenhouse was at a bar with his mother wearing a “Free as F*ck” t-shirt when he was approached by some local Proud Boys. They took pictures together doing the “OK” symbol, which has become controversial due to left-wing hysteria.

As a result, prosecutors in Kenosha County are hoping to modify Rittenhouse’s bond to prevent the young man from enjoying his freedom. They reportedly want to prevent him from being “serenaded” by Proud Boys and other adoring followers.
“Within a few minutes of entering the bar, the defendant was loudly serenaded by 5 of the adult males with the song “Proud of Your Boy,” which is an obscure song written for the 1992 film, “Aladdin.” The violent white supremacist group called the “Proud Boys” was named after this song, which is sung by its members as an anthem and for self-identification,” the Kenosha County District Attorney’s office wrote.
“The defendant later posed for several photographs with these adults in the bar. In each of these photographs, the defendant and the other adults flashed the “OK” sign used by white supremacists,” they added.
The surreal letter from the DA’s office that looks like it was written by an Anti-Defamation League (ADL) operative can be seen here:

The letter from the DA’s house shows how the government is painting ordinary conservatives and Trump supporters by as white supremacists and terrorist threats based on left-wing propaganda.
Big League Politics reported on how Rittenhouse posted bond in November after spending months confined in jail for exercising his right to self-defense against ANTIFA terrorists:
Illinois teenager Kyle Rittenhouse has been freed from the Kenosha County Jail in Wisconsin, after posting a $2 million bond set by a judge on Friday.
Rittenhouse is charged with two counts of first-degree murder for shooting and killing Joseph Rosenbaum and Anthony Huber during a Black Lives Matter riot in August. He’s also charged with a count of being a minor in possession of a firearm.
Rittenhouse was assailed by Rosenbaum while present at the scene of the riots, carrying an AR-style rifle and planning to prevent looting and rioting in Kenosha. Rittenhouse shot and killed Rosenbaum, arguing that he acted in self-defense when Rosenbaum attempted to grab his rifle. Rittenhouse would go on to shoot two men- one of them armed with a gun- who chased him as he tried to flee the scene of the riots.
Rittenhouse had been extradited from Illinois to Wisconsin to face charges. He posted bond through his attorney, Mark Richards, on Friday at 2PM.
Rittenhouse will be remembered as an American hero whether or not he is acquitted in the courts or ultimately made a martyr by a biased and unjust system. The Proud Boys are right to be proud of their boy Kyle in this instance.
