Donald Trump’s alleged propensity for cheating has come under the spotlight in the past. As reported by The Guardian, sportswriter Rick Reilly called the president the “worst cheat ever” when golfing and claimed he “doesn’t care who knows.”

“They said 90% of golfers don’t cheat. Golf is an honest game but this guy leaves a big ugly orange stain on it. It really p*sses me off.”

inquisitr--2020-07-08--Attorney General William Barr Is Opposed To Commuting Roger Stone’s Sentence, Report Says

In a Wednesday report for Vanity Fair , Gabriel Sherman claims that Attorney General William Barr is opposed to commuting Republican operative Roger Stone ’ s 40-month prison sentence , which is set to begin July 14 .
According to Sherman ’ s reporting , Donald Trump has told people he wants to commute Stone ’ s sentence , while Barr and White House counsel Pat Cipollone are opposed to the plan .
“ Barr has told Trump not to do it , and if he does there will be a mutiny at DOJ , ” a source briefed on @ @ @ @ @ @ @ Despite the pushback , a Republican close to the White House suggested there are fears that Trump won ’ t listen .
“ You can ’ t underestimate how hard it is to get information through to him .
When you talk to him , he just talks at you .
He doesn ’ t like to read memos , so there ’ s not really a way to get through to him .
Everyone agrees.
” According to Bloomberg , Stone texted Trump on Tuesday to beg him to commute his sentence @ @ @ @ @ @ @ know that I have exhausted all my legal remedies and that only an act of clemency will provide justice in my case and save my life !
” the text purportedly read .
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson previously denied Stone ’ s request for a September 3 surrender date , which pushed him to file an emergency appeal on Monday .
Stone argued that he is in the vulnerable population most susceptible to coronavirus dangers and contrasted his treatment to that of Trump ’ s former personal lawyer , Michael Cohen @ @ @ @ @ @ @ a New York restaurant — a violation of the furlough from prison he was offered amid the pandemic .
According to Bloomberg , Barr ’ s Department of Justice ( DOJ ) did not oppose Stone ’ s request .
Nevertheless , Stone claimed that the DOJ would not likely support his appeal for a delay .
He reportedly believes that action from Trump is the only path forward to prevent his prison sentence .
As The Inquisitr reported , Adam Schiff , Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee , previously pushed back @ @ @ @ @ @ @ operative and said it would constitute significant corruption .
Stone was convicted of witness tampering and lying to investigators .
His alleged crimes stem from his time on Trump ’ s 2016 presidential campaign when then-special counsel Robert Mueller was investigating its possible links to Russia .
Although Barr is allegedly opposed to commuting Stone ’ s sentence , the United States Attorney General successfully reduced the sentence from the initial seven to nine years to the current 40 months .

U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson previously denied Stone’s request for a September 3 surrender date, which pushed him to file an emergency appeal on Monday. Stone argued that he is in the vulnerable population most susceptible to coronavirus dangers and contrasted his treatment to that of Trump’s former personal lawyer, Michael Cohen, who was recently spotted dining at a New York restaurant — a violation of the furlough from prison he was offered amid the pandemic.
According to Bloomberg, Barr’s Department of Justice (DOJ) did not oppose Stone’s request. Nevertheless, Stone claimed that the DOJ would not likely support his appeal for a delay. He reportedly believes that action from Trump is the only path forward to prevent his prison sentence.
As The Inquisitr reported, Adam Schiff, Chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, previously pushed back against the possibility of pardoning the GOP operative and said it would constitute significant corruption.
Stone was convicted of witness tampering and lying to investigators. His alleged crimes stem from his time on Trump’s 2016 presidential campaign when then-special counsel Robert Mueller was investigating its possible links to Russia. Although Barr is allegedly opposed to commuting Stone’s sentence, the United States Attorney General successfully reduced the sentence from the initial seven to nine years to the current 40 months.

Recently, it appeared as if the White House attempted to block Vindman’s promotion to the rank of colonel.
“Donald Trump’s pattern of retaliation against anyone who attempts to hold him accountable is the stuff of dictatorships—not democracies,” she tweeted.
At least 8,000 accounts hit the like button, and more than 1,700 retweeted the senator’s words. Around 100 users also left a comment for Warren. Many of the replies supported Warren, and several others also expressed their support for Lt. Col. Vindman. Still, others used the president’s nickname for her — Pocahontas.
Just days ago, Trump took to Twitter to criticize the Washington Redskins’ decision to change the team’s name, and he managed to get a dig in at Warren by using the nickname, The Inquisitr reported. Trump chose the nickname after the Massachuttes senator, who is originally from Oklahoma, claimed to have Native American ancestors. When she released the results of a DNA test, the amount of Native American ancestors she had was quite small.

“People will do what they do,” she said.
According to Pence, Pelosi’s statement is a “surrender to the mob.”
“We’re not going to have it. The American people know the foundation of our prosperity is law and order and the rule of law. We’re going to continue to stand strong for the rule of law against the rule of the mob.”
House Minority Leader Kevin McCarthy also took aim at Pelosi’s comments and suggested that she was defending the mob.
As reported by The Baltimore Sun, Baltimore Mayor Bernard C. “Jack” Young had harsh words for the people who tore down the statue and said they would be “brought to justice.”
“We support peaceful protest. This is not a peaceful protest. It is unacceptable.”
Young said that protesters should focus on learning from history as opposed to erasing it. He pointed to the Columbus statue and said it could be used to spark a discussion that addresses the United States’ “dark past.”
Per Fox News, Pelosi said that communities bear responsibility and power over deciding what historical monuments they want to keep. She also claimed that the removal of the Columbus statue did nothing to hurt her pride as an Italian American.

The removal of the Columbus statue is part of a pattern of vandalism that has continued following George Floyd’s death, Fox News reported.
