Evil people are often stupid.
One more slip on the Banana Republic peel.
Amy Berman Jackson Can rot her sorry ass in ....... never mind.
Well, there’s his appeal if he needs it.
The judge doesn’t care if it gets reversed because that will happen after the 2020 election.
The only goal is to take scalps of Trump associates to play the guilty-by-association card on him.
Answer: Miss Trial
Mis-trial
That would leave it up to Stone's lawyer to challenge those jurors. - Tom
Ha! Love it.
Verdict first, trial later. Classic leftist nonsense.
roger stone is a trip. Now he has food poisoning
What are the restrictions on the prosecutors? Are they able to remove pro-Trump jurors?
If the prosecutors are allowed to remove pro Trump jurors while the defense cannot remove anti-Trump jurors then it is rigged.
The same rules need to be equally enforced.
