And miles to go before I sleep,

I can't help but notice that the same folks who continually ranted about "activists Judges" now fall silent when we have an "activists meddler" . It isn't "what" but "who"---and that is exactly were I get off the train.

An ounce of image is worth a pound of performance..
It’s not only what one does.. it’s how one does it..
I will overlook a high performing private or corporal blowing snot rockets and farts in public.. but not a Flag Officer irregardless of performance..
Just my opinion, I could be wrong..
I’m an old USMC brat.. as a kid a dress uniform was required to go through the gate.. now leaders give press conferences wearing coveralls.. I May be out of date, but.. I think of it as high standards..

Nobody is ever ok with the pardons. Obama released a gang of Puerto Rican terrorists or was that Clinton? Clinton pardoned a slew of criminals as did Bush and the rest. I never did hear of them pardoning any innocent people, imagine that. All I've ever heard is a bunch of ill-informed people with an agenda whining.
I'll bet, it's tough just being a little peon with a whine isn't it.Ah yes---life is grand when you call all the shots

From the WSJ:
...and all the while trump was attacking the Justice Department , the Judge, the jury forewoman, and the prosecutors---what a guyWASHINGTON— Roger Stone was sentenced to three years and four months in prison on Thursday for lying to Congress and other crimes, after a tumultuous two weeks in which the government trial lawyers withdrew and President Trump repeatedly criticized the handling of the case.
Mr. Stone, a Republican consultant who has been a political adviser to Mr. Trump for decades, was sentenced to 40 months of incarceration, a $20,000 fine and two years of supervised release by Judge Amy Berman Jackson at a morning hearing in federal court in Washington, D.C. on charges of lying to Congress, obstruction and witness tampering.
The sentence was far less than the seven to nine years that trial prosecutors had initially recommended under federal guidelines before Attorney General William Barr and other senior officials overruled their original recommendation, suggesting a lighter punishment. Judge Jackson said following the guidelines would result in a sentence that “would be greater than necessary.”
Judge Jackson acknowledged Mr. Stone’s history of cultivating a public persona as a provocateur and a prankster.
“The problem is that nothing about this case was a joke. It wasn’t funny. It wasn’t a stunt and it wasn’t a prank. Stone’s conduct displayed flagrant disrespect for the institutions of government as established by the constitution, including Congress and this court,” said Judge Jackson in sentencing Mr. Stone.

Why is lying to a pack of liars an offense?

OPINION....a view or judgment formed about something, not necessarily based on fact or knowledge.
Any claim that civil servants, or elected members of government are somehow "released" from any expectation or obligation to tell the truth is simply wrong. The criteria to turn dishonesty into a crime is telling lies under oath, at which point, if it is material to the topic of the legal matter, becomes perjury. You might want to check in with Bill Clinton on that bogus claim.
Although trump has a history of telling lies under oath, unless his arrogance exceeds his stupidity, which could be the case, he will never allow himself to testify under oath while in office.
