I think cnn should be prosecuted

[Jim Robinson]

Persecution.

[JoSixChip]

Among the people who can be prosecuted are associates with information relevant to a civil or criminal investigation of the president.

And what would that info be? Or is it a case of "We don't know what it is, but we know it's there"? Just like the reach for Trumps financial records. The fact the NY politicians, courts and congress lets all this go on is proof they are all corrupt.

[LegendHasIt]

"Gerald B. Lefcourt is past president of the National Association of Criminal Lawyers..."

Well, it is surprising that they admitted it. Lawyers like this ARE criminals.

[Secret Agent Man]

funny they never said the states should prosecute the actual literal murderous terrorists obama pardoned.

[Fungi]

Do these retromingent bastards at the Commie News Network and in commie New York know what an ex post facto law is?

[Cobra64]

What would CNN have to say about this:

On August 11, 1999, Clinton commuted the sentences of 16 members of FALN, which is a Puerto Rican paramilitary organization that set off 120 bombs in the United States, mostly in New York City and Chicago. There were convictions for conspiracy to commit robbery, bomb-making, and sedition, as well as firearms and explosives violations.

[AnotherUnixGeek]

Signed into law last October, AB6653 enables New York district attorneys to prosecute what effectively amounts to certain friends and family of any president who pardoned them for federal convictions.

Isn't this a violation of double jeopardy? How would New York even have jurisdiction?

[NRx]

I have serious doubts this would survive the inevitable constitutional challenges in court.

[Revel]

I was expecting something like this. The left is very vindictive.

[PghBaldy]

Seems not in keeping with at least the spirit of the Constitutional prohibition against Bills of Attainder.

[kiryandil]

It is time for New York prosecutors to answer this latest assault by Trump on the rule of law: They should ready a state prosecution of Stone.

Be a shame if they brought a prosecution of Stone, and somebody rubbed them out the next day...

[Stravinsky]

Deep State hates Stone, so it wouldn’t surprise me.

[Impy]

Whut? Do they think they are the Hague?

[Gene Eric]

DOJ should break up ATT

CNN is ATT

[henbane]

Shouldn't CNN be drumming up support for a class action suit against Governor Andrew Cuomo?

After all, the New York Governor's Nursing Home Directive was directly responsible for the deaths of over 5,000 New Yorkers.

Attacking Roger Stone's commutation seems like very small potatoes for all this ink--unless CNN editors are clinically insane with hatred for President Donald J. Trump.

Cuomo gets a pass from CNN on nursing home policy

[mass55th]

Wouldn’t this be called double jeopardy. Manhattan D.A. Cyrus Vance, Jr. tried to prosecute Paul Manafort, and New York Judge Maxwell Wiley dismissed the charges claiming it was double jeopardy.

[An.American.Expatriate]

AB6653 enables New York district attorneys to prosecute what effectively amounts to certain friends and family of any president who pardoned them for federal convictions.

Well, since the President only commuted the sentence - I guess they are SOL.

[Does so]

Slick Willie pardoned Terrorists.

[MadMax, the Grinning Reaper]

Gerald Lefcourt. There’s an old Marxist/communist sympathizer from the 70’s. A buddy of Kunstler. Very smart and dangerous.

There is an interview section with him in the book “Radical Lawyers: Their Role in the Movement and in the Courts”.

His red front record should be at www.keywiki.org. As I recall, he was a member of the cited CPUSA fronts the National Lawyers Guild and the National Emergency Civil Liberties Committee (Yes, it is in the book) and possibly the NLG off-shoot, the Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR). Was in the Columbia Un. SDS created “Liberation School” as a teacher. Marxist all the way.
