You are right of course. Obama shouldn’t have had ANY judges appointed.

Also watch for Stone to “Arkancide/Foster/Brown/Rich/Epstein”.

The reason, this is all about left wing “narrative”, a narrative completely built on denial of justice and recourse.

If the left believes there is a chance Stone’s case could be overturned in the future, this destroys their “narrative”, and potentially exposes the left wing actors to justice.

No one can lie to the FBI except the FBI, that is acceptable behavior, a lie, but in FBI bureaucrat speak it’s being less than candid, makes it not sound as bad, shh!

If this corrupt judge orders immediate incarceration a pardon or commuting sentence should be done immediately. If not, then it should be appealed. In any real courtroom the biased jury would have been tossed for cause after spending less than 5 minutes in the box during voir-dire.

It is impossible for a liberal Democrat to be humiliated about anything.

Actually, if Stone “Arkancides”, it is more likely to be like the McDougal death, where he was denied his heart meds (nitro?), after having chest pain.

Of course McDougals death happened right after McDougal decided he would finally cooperate with Ken Stars joint Whitewater/RICO investigation... The same Whitewater which had been part of a larger investigation earlier, when an office fire destroyed almost all records and evidence collected, after one James Comey had just locked the building.

Yah, that one.

“she is being watched along with all the deep state judges.”

They know Trump signed away his power to force them off the bench by signing bills funding the government long-term.

It’s weird how the left gets to walk all over us nearly every time.

This judge is one of the most corrupt and activist judges serving right now and that says a lot when you consider all the other Democrat judges. Roberts, when ae you going to get control of the Judiciary that you head, including the FISA court?

From Wikipedia:

“Stone served as an adviser to the 2016 presidential campaign of Donald Trump.[74] Stone left the campaign on August 8, 2015, amid controversy, with Stone claiming he quit and Trump claiming that Stone was fired.”

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Stone

No proved wrongdoing here since the information could have been coming from someone Hillary or a Podesta offended:

“During the 2016 campaign, Stone was accused by Hillary Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta of having prior knowledge of the publishing by WikiLeaks of Podesta’s private emails obtained by a hacker.[99] Stone tweeted before the leak, ‘It will soon [sic] the Podesta’s time in the barrel’. Five days before the leak, Stone tweeted, ‘Wednesday Hillary Clinton is done. #Wikileaks.’[100] Stone has denied having any advance knowledge of the Podesta email hack or any connection to Russian intelligence, stating that his earlier tweet was referring to reports of the Podesta Group’s own ties to Russia.[101][102] In his opening statement before the United States House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence on September 26, 2017, Stone reiterated this claim: ‘Note that my tweet of August 21, 2016, makes no mention, whatsoever, of Mr. Podesta’s email, but does accurately predict that the Podesta brothers’ business activities in Russia ... would come under public scrutiny.’[103]

No lying or indisputably criminal here for the same reason:

“Stone repeatedly acknowledged that he had established a back-channel with WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange to obtain information on Hillary Clinton[104][99] and pointed to this intermediary as the source for his advance knowledge about the release of Podesta’s e-mails by WikiLeaks.[103] Stone ultimately named Randy Credico, who had interviewed both Assange and Stone for a radio show, as his intermediary with Assange.[105] A January 2019 indictment claimed Stone communicated with additional contacts knowledgeable about WikiLeaks plans.”

No lying to Congress here:

“The following month, The Washington Times reported that Stone had direct-messaged alleged DNC hacker Guccifer 2.0 on Twitter. Stone acknowledged contacts with the mysterious persona and made public excerpts of the messages. Stone said the messages were just innocent praise of the hacking.[109] U.S. intelligence agencies believe Guccifer 2.0 to be a persona created by Russian intelligence to obscure its role in the DNC hack.[110] The Guccifer 2.0 persona was ultimately linked with an IP address associated with the Russian intelligence agency, GRU, in Moscow when a user with a Moscow IP address logged into one of the Guccifer social media accounts without using a VPN.”

probably good advice:

“On December 1, 2017, Stone texted Randy Credico, a prosecution witness: ‘If you testify you’re a fool. Because of tromp (sic), I could never get away with a certain (sic) my Fifth Amendment rights but you can. I guarantee you you (sic) are the one who gets indicted for perjury if you’re stupid enough to testify.’”

This seems to contain some offenses:

“According to his indictment, page 20, on April 9, 2018, Stone emailed these threats to the witness, including a comment regarding his security dog that he would: ‘...take that dog away from you,’ ‘You are a rat. A stoolie. You backstab your friends-run your mouth my lawyers are dying Rip you to shreds.’ ‘I am so ready. Let’s get it on. Prepare to die cock sucker.’

This seems allowable:

“In a May 21, 2018 email, Stone wrote: ‘You are so full of shit. You got nothing. Keep running your mouth and I’ll file a bar complaint against your friend.’”

Not much here:
“On March 13, 2018, two sources close to Stone, former Trump aide Sam Nunberg and a person speaking on condition of anonymity, acknowledged to The Washington Post that Stone had established contact with WikiLeaks owner Julian Assange and that the two had a telephone conversation discussing emails related to the Clinton campaign which had been leaked to WikiLeaks.[17] According to Nunberg, who claimed he spoke to the paper after being asked to do so by Special Counsel Robert Mueller,[17] Stone joked to him that he had taken a trip to London to personally meet with Assange, but declined to do so, had only wanted to have telephone conversations to remain undetected and did not have advance notice of the leaked emails.[17] The other source, who spoke on anonymity, stated that the conversation occurred before it was publicly known that hackers had obtained the emails of Podesta and of the Democratic National Committee, documents that WikiLeaks released in July and October 2016.[17] Stone afterwards denied that he had contacted Assange or had known in advance about the leaked emails.”

Witness tampering is the only conviction I can see that can be justified.

Refusing to refill the donkey feed trough was Trump’s only means of reining them in.

The Parliament of Great Britain used the power of the purse over the centuries to rein in royalty.

EVERY jury in D.C. is going to be corrupt because EVERYBODY in that town makes their living off of the Swamp. They don’t have any industry and they don’t actually produce anything of value. They live high off the hog with money they steal from you and me at gunpoint.

I predict the judge will give MORE than nine years, and also order immediate incarceration.

I think she will hit him with a 14-17 year sentence just to show her power.

This link has been posted before, but as you know the DNC “server hack”, and “G2” were cloned —

https://www.dailymotion.com/video/x7rgc29
(You’ll have to unmute, if you listen)

Two former top NSA guys break down in basic detail how we were not hacked from the outside. Also sheds light on Stzrok, gets into FISA, and may have influenced what happened to Seth Rich.

And it all has to do with provideing left-wing narrative, and influencing 2016 elections outcome.

There was DNC/HRC paid Russian influence from the “dossier”, as well as from

Proof VA (D) Sen. Warner (and probably NC (R) Sen. Burr) working with Putin/Kremlin billionaire oligarch to take down President Trump.

Crazy stuff.

In order to cover-up VA (D) Sen Warners (and possibly entire Go8) sedicious, and really treasonous activity, attorney Wolfe’s prison time had to be commuted to virtually no more time by Rosenstein and Liu, for his TS/SCI leak/spill to his New York reporter lover.

Will Stone be able to appeal this?

Yes.

Should Trump pardon stone as soon as he is sentenced?

Why wait? Pardon him today. Trump pardoned Arpaio before he was sentenced.

Should Trump wait until after the November election to pardon him?

If Trump is going to pardon Stone then why wait?
