Trump Ally Roger Stone Gets 40 Months for Lying, Witness-Tampering

[Jim in CT]

during the trial, the judge was very clear that the gag order was to prevent crowds from getting fired up by public statements and coming to the courthouse. If you believe that, it makes you wonder why the gag order hasn’t been lifted now that it’s over.

in all seriousness, i’d like to see how often the feds respond with that level of force in these kind of cases. i hope they do so all the time, otherwise it leads to speculation about politics.

“Namaste Trump!”

Judge Amy Berman Jackson dismissed the Stone defense team's claims, arguing that the motion to have her recuse herself lacked "any factual or legal support."

Then Trump tweets shocking

Without offering evidence, Trump told reporters outside the White House on Sunday, "You have a juror that's obviously tainted. She was an activist against Trump, said bad things about Trump and said bad things about Stone. She somehow weaseled her way onto the jury and if that's not a tainted jury then there is no such thing as a tainted jury."


Again the rights and Trumps defense is based on no factual evidence

Because it’s not over. Stone is not in jail. The judge has other issues to finish.

As for his capture, I’ve read it was nothing unusual.

hmmm, where did you read that, in the obama groupie newsletter?

as i said, i hope it’s the usual practice. if it is, they can change that practice. sometimes, all it takes is a call to the lawyer to say “ have your client turn himself in tomorrow morning.”. but i remember the photos during the clinton presidency of immigration agents with big rifles and riot gear, showing up to pull some little kid away from his family in a very high profile case. not every federal action requires a Rambo response.
