This is what I don't get.
It's perfectly constitutional for the president to reduce a sentence.
Why doesn't he just wait for Michael Flynn's sentencing hearings to be completed and then commute the sentence?

Good.

Trump probably would've commuted Jeffrey Epstein's sentence as well, had he not been murdered.

Ah, the law and order president. Makes perfect sense.

Apparently witness tampering and lying to Congress is a crime unless you work for the President, in which case it's okay.

So what about Clapper, Strozck, Page, and Brennan?

Corruption.

Plain and simple.

It's so on-brand for you to focus on the messenger and not the 100% factual message. 
About the hundredth time I've seen you do this. 

Jesus won't help your derangement.

Again, what about Clapper, Strozck, Page, and Brennan?

Is it only a punishable crime when Republicans lie to Congress? I look forward to your answer without your assistant telling me to stay on topic.

This is what I was getting at back during the Impeachment threads.
The President has the power to commute any sentence for any reason.
But if he *abuses* that power, if he uses it in corrupt ways, that is a High Crime and he should be impeached for it.

This sums up Trump's motivation:

Trump commuted Stone's sentence last Friday, 3 days before Stone was to go to prison. It's obvious what Stone was saying - he could dime out the POTUS, because he knew Trump lied under oath in his answers to Mueller, but he didn't.

But he could have, and he still can. 

This also tells us something else. Trump knows he's going to lose in November, he had nothing to lose politically.

Yeah, if you just lie for the FBI to take down the real target then they don't railroad you.

Save your nonsense for those nincompoops that believe Trump is a victim. You've hitched your wagon to a con man, ride it out brother.
