ICHEOKU says the imperative is that the president has the power, the prerogative of mercy, to pardon or commute the sentence of anyone. The discretion is absolute, with or without cause, provided the president deems such a proper and right thing to do and wants to do it. Roger Stone is not the first person ever to be pardoned or had his sentence commuted nor will be the last person to receive such a presidential stay out of prison gift card. Bill Clinton was famous for pardoning Mark Rich and Barack Obama pardoned transgendered Chelsea Manning who actually levied war on the United States of America by sabotaging the United States military.
So, the president was not out of place nor did he overreach himself when he showed mercy to Roger Stone. The baseline is that the Russian Collusion from which Roger Stone's prosecution or rather persecution was triggered was a phantom investigation. Therefore, having collapsed, everything arising and attaching therefrom should also summarily collapse as well. It is akin to the fruit of a poisoned tree doctrine because without one there would not have been the other, case closed. If the foundational one is wrong other things following should be wrong as well. The president exercised his right as he deemed it fit and anyone who is not at home with it should either run for office or work to change the law.
As always, Mitt Romney is a jerk; he never praised the president for the many things he gets right, but readily jumps at any opportunity to register his disdainful displeasure and disquiet at the president. What manner of a man is he anyway, but a squirrelly eyed piglet who envy and jealousy is eating deeply from the inside.
ICHEOKU says well done Mr President for doing what is right, especially when similarly impacted people on the other side were never charged nor convicted, yet they want to make an example out of Roger Stone simply for being steadfast to the president. What a bunch of decrepitude. ICHEOKU hopes that Roger Stone has placed a patent on his trademark double hand victory sign. What a happy man the president just minted. Way to go!

Christy 'Apena' Essien-Igbokwe , the wife of Jegede Shokoya of the New Masquerade and Nigeria's lady of songs is dead; she was 51years old. Although her family claimed that "brief Illness" killed her like so many Nigerians; Icheoku retorts that it was most likely AKwa Ibom voodoo and remote control that was used to arrest her. It is on record that she had fallen out with the governor of her native Akwa Ibiom State and have been having a relentless war for political turf with the governor? So who knows whether she was sacrificed to Ekpe cult or even Alusi-Okija as an offal; afterall African science is still very much alive and portent. May her soul rest in peace.
