Hopefully Stone will fight it all the way to the USSC.
There is NEVER EVER a compelling public interest in gagging a defendant in a criminal case.
“I am told I have nothing to say”
This guy has balls! He reminds me of Martha Stewart, who after being sentenced to prison, stood on the steps of City Hall and asked folks to continue buying her books and products. I don’t care what anyone says about Stone, he’s got courage.
I don't know the actual legal arguments here, but I can't imagine how this would be constitutional. Innocent until proven guilty, so how can they suppress his freedom of speech and right to express and defend himself in this manner? Mueller and his merry band of thugs are making the Gestapo look like pikers.
Democrats are evil scum.
Well, he could claim to change parties and then he could do whatever he wants without consequences.
Ya. What’s up with that?
And violate it all along the way.
Shanlon Wu, a former attorney for Gates...warned it (talking outside the courtroom) could also tick off the judge. “Most criminal defense lawyers don’t want to antagonize the judge about something collateral,” Wu said.
So Shanlon Wu is implicitly warning that obama judge Deborah Robinson will NOT rule with dispassion and fairness, but will be retributive and vindictive. It looks like this judge is unfit to sit in judgement of any defendant.
I think Mueller has finally messed with the wrong guy.
This nation’s political prisoners are starting to mount up. I’d expect some of them to go the way of Bobby Sands soon. There isn’t much to lose when you’re in a cage for 23 hours a day.
He’s sure going to need help with the legal bills. I wish there was a slew of law firms/attorneys in this country who saw it as their duty to take these type of cases pro bono when people are being railroaded by the government. I’ve been disgusted that Flynn hasn’t stuck up for himself and I hadn’t heard there was a gag order there but I guess it could be. It’s not right!!! I haven’t heard Flynn open his mouth about his own predicament and if there isn’t a gag order preventing him from speaking, then that doesn’t say much for what kind of guy he is. I don’t buy the story about worrying about his son or family. Let these things come out in the open for everyone to see and just maybe one of these days someone will bring down the hammer on all these agencies, prosecutors and judges! When is enough enough?
Sidney Powell’s appearance on Mark Levin and her book out now should shake people up enough to DEMAND this come to an end. I know we all feel the same about what’s going on but how come we can’t protest and be as obnoxious as every other group who has an axe to grind?
It was only a matter of time.
Her interest as a virulently partisan Democrat will COMPEL her to try to gag Roger Stone.
Perhaps the judge will next order that he is not permitted to offer a defense so we can dispense with this charade that there is justice in the USA after the powers that be hand pick a judge and decide to railroad you.
And doubly so—precisely, a Gag order on an indictment for PROCESS crimes... having nothing... NOTHING to do with the original Rosenstein re-written enactment directive to do a Counter-intelligence investigation! Any Gag order would immediately cause the judge issuing it to be forced to recuse— because it is unsupportable, AND it would drive a truck through any “sentencing” on the basis of “facts” that are whole cloth.
No, this is a feeble attempt to dissuade the public from learning what really happened with Wikileaks, the Podestas, and Seth Rich’s demise at the hands and in the pay of the Clintoonians. Mueller of course, and his minions are also IN THE PAY or under control of the Clintons- Mueller for Uranium 1, Weissman because he is a malignant dug in tick of a ah-hole, and the rest of the “team” are all Clinton sychophants— as “out of date” as all that is. The real purpose is to defend and protect any and all who are paid off beneficiaries of the Clinton machine— from dope, uranium, chinese intel sold US secrets and the world wide “well traveled” bag lady for foreign cash— hitlery.
So, if Stone has this all written out, and pre-planned through media release— it would be brilliant and unstoppable and accomplish at a minimum- removal of the judge (who was shopped by mueller et al naturally). This is officially now a banana—democracy (it ain’t a Republic).
Last Sat./Sun. edition of The Wall Street Journal had a front-page story about Roger Stone's indictment. Not a word about how he was arrested.
because he said the Dems want to drive out Trump/Pence make Nancy President and Nancy makes Hillary her VP than resigns goes back as Speaker and Hillary becomes President ,LOL No that would make Nancy First Female President not Hillary
