On Feb. 11 Trump took to Twitter to call Roger Stone's proposed sentencing a "miscarriage of justice", which seems a bit rich coming from a man who just escaped an impeachment trial. Subsequently, in a turn of events that I'm sure is not related at all, all four prosecutors on the case quit, while the Justice Department announced it would reduce Stone's sentencing recommendation.
Trump insisted he hadn't told the Justice Department to be more lenient with Stone, however as Late Night host Seth Meyers stated, he also maintained that "he had the absolute right to do it if he had wanted to."
"Any time you use the phrase 'I have the absolute right' you're not the good guy in that situation," said Meyers, noting that Trump did not actually have that right anyway. "Trump sounds like an angry customer yelling at a Dunkin's because they wouldn't let him use the bathroom."
What's most surprising, though, was Republicans' apparent belief that the whole impeachment ordeal would have taught Trump not to do this sort of thing. It's like his closest supporters don't know him at all.
"He was basically an inmate at a parole hearing," said Meyers. "And when they asked him 'So what are your plans when you get out?' he said, 'Uh, I'd like to kill again.'"
