Amy Berman Freisler.
Political conviction by a Dem Judge and Dem jury. They want to force Trump to do a pardon and have the stories set up already to attack Trump or impeach him yet again. Pathetic.
Will Stone be able to appeal this?
Should Trump pardon stone as soon as he is sentenced?
Should Trump wait until after the November election to pardon him?
I predict the judge will give MORE than nine years, and also order immediate incarceration.
Sentence him to time served.
When the truth comes out, and it will this evil woman will be humiliated as she should be.
I am so sick of having the justice department/the justice system being out of order.
The despicable “judge” playing her little game wants to dare Trump.
She KNOWS it’s a mistrial and she’s exposed.
Stone is still trying for a retrial due to a polluted jury...this action may serve to delay sentencing.
I’d wager that President Trump has the pen ready to pardon him but wants the process complete before taking any action.
Trump should put his Trump Organization security on Berman’s case to see what they can dig up on her. ASAP.
Beware of women with three names.
A lie in the first sentence.
Who wrote this crap for the Hill? Are they even remotely conscious?
IMPEACH THAT B*TCH!!!
“..U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee..”
May an eternal pox (I mean like small pox) be upon all Obama voters.
The obama judge will throw Stone in federal prison on thursday. Guaranteed. Democrats want that fact on the ground.
Lois Lerner redux
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.
U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson is another Obama appointed judge and exhibits the same mentality as all the rest. Watch the sentence she imposes.
