Where is the national outrage over Trump’s Roger Stone clemency
and ordering federal troopers into Portland against protesters,
without a request from local, county and state officials?

Using military against civilians is unConstitutional!

+ “Trump’s clemency for Roger Stone is an admission of the president’s guilt in Russia probe,” by Joyce White Vance, USA Today Contributor. [After all, Trump was the beneficiary of Stone’s crimes and an unindicted co-conspirator.]

+ “We Can Still Get the Truth From Roger Stone The Justice Department should vindicate the rule of law by putting him before a grand jury,” by Andrew Weissman, in The New York Times.
