Stone files motion demanding judge recuse herself from ruling on new trial request

Attorneys for Roger Stone late Friday filed a motion arguing the federal judge who sentenced him to more than three years in prison should recuse herself from deciding his request for a new trial.
Defense attorneys said Judge Amy Berman Jackson’s statements just before sentencing Stone Thursday afternoon show she’s already made up her mind about whether a juror was biased against the longtime GOP operative.
Stone is seeking a new trial based on social media posts by the forewoman in his trial, Tomkea Hart, saying she never should have been allowed on the jury because of Twitter posts mocking Stone’s arrest. She has also called Trump supporters racists.
Moments before Judge Jackson handed down Stone’s sentence on Thursday afternoon, she praised the jury for their work in the case.
While accusing Stone’s attorneys of raising a “Who cares?” defense, Judge Jackson gave a lengthy speech expressing her disgust with that argument.
“The jurors who served with integrity under difficult circumstances cared. The American people cared. And I cared,” she told the courtroom.
Stone’s legal team says such emphatic statements prove Judge Jackson has prejudged his new trial bid.
“The Court’s ardent conclusion of ‘integrity’ indicates an inability to reserve judgment on an issue which has yet been heard,” his attorneys wrote in a filing just before midnight Friday.
“The premature statement blessing the ‘integrity of the jury’ undermines the appearance of impartiality and presents a strong bias for recusal,” the continued.
Ms. Hart, a former Democratic congressional candidate and anti-Trump activist, has become a focal point for Stone’s supporters.

thank you. I thought i was going nutz.
and it seems, in general, in public, Pres. Trump speaks differently than he tweets...
I wonder what he’s like when not in public?
I also saw DJT, even before being POTUS, as what you see is mostly what you get
So, if there are SEVENTY confirmed cases, JUST AT TRAVIS, how many do we have nationwide?
Why are we being lied to?
(because the big money wants a chance to unwind their positions in the market before ‘we’ panic and crash it)

Trump is not only consistently underestimated, he fosters that! Don’t worry. That Ryan/Pence stuff is still TBD, imho.

Mindful of ransomnote's "gentle request" in post 489 and hopeful that this comment is not deemed violative thereof...
I do believe that Q is trying to teach us lessons about trust and loyalty — the same lessons that Jeff Bridges taught to his young crewmen in the movie White Squall.
Obviously, we should never speak ill of our POTUS, because insubordination divides the team and hurts morale.
On the other hand, there WILL be times when we doubt POTUS, rightly or wrongly, because we're human and POTUS is human.
Even the greatest commander can be fooled by bad or ill-intentioned advisors.
In cases where we believe (rightly or wrongly) that there might be traitors leading POTUS astray, we should direct our criticism toward the alleged traitors, not toward POTUS.
In fact, identifying possible traitors and subjecting them to rigorous scrutiny is — in my humble opinion — one of our most important jobs, and one of the best ways we can help POTUS and help the team.
Just my 2 cents.

I watched the video at the link... well, most of it.
When it got to the part where the dems are fighting between Sanders radicialism and “Clinton’s centrists”, I stopped.
They still don’t get it. It’s a fight between organized crime outfits over who gets all the illegal skim and graft. There are no “dem centrists” in government. Period.
There are some that can pretend to be so for short sprints. But that is all. They’re giving the same speeches written by committees that get their talking points from focus groups to learn what lies we want to be told to make us comfortable while they move in to rape us bloody.
