Josh Hawley on Trump's Roger Stone tweets: Trump can say what he wants to say

A Roll Call report on the recent flurry of tweets by President Donald Trump attacking the judge, the prosecutor and the original recommended seven to nine year sentence for his friend and former political adviser Roger Stone shows the attacks don't seem to disturb Sen. Josh Hawley, R-Mo or his Republican colleagues.

“I think [Trump] can say what he wants to say. The question is, you know, will it have any effect, and the answer to that should be no,” said Sen. Josh Hawley of Missouri. “I doubt the judge will take any — the judge shouldn’t consider anything other than the facts before him or her.”

False. As the head of the Executive Branch of government, the President's job is to enforce the laws enacted by Congress until or unless they are struck down by either Congress itself or the Supreme Court. Speaking against the judiciary to support people who have broken the law and been convicted is impermissible.

I agree with Opiner and it is time that Trump is made aware that many of us are disgusted with his lack of integrity and "uncouth."

5:30, these idiots don't think that. In fact they don't think. Just react in negative fashion to anything connected to their President.
