I hope Stone is not suicidal. He has created many deep state enemies and they want him silenced.
Why was Stone tried in DC even though he lives in S Florida? Was it because the prosecutor knew he needed an all Dem politically motivated jury in order to get a conviction?
If you're in a single cell then isn't social distancing pretty much guaranteed?
Regardless, he doesn't need to worry about that now.
I would like for General Flynn to campaign for Trump, but only if he is up to it. Flynn has been through the wringer.
Jury’s still out on Roger. His huckster demeanor might turn some voters off. I could be wrong about that.
“Bad news...very bad news.If Stone wants to do everything he can to help the President in November he should become ABSOLUTELY INVISIBLE until at least November 9th”.
That’s right. He’s a fool to even suggest such a thing.
He was helpful in 2016.
Roger Stone wrote an excellent book In 2017 called “The Making of the President 2016: How Donald Trump Orchestrated a Revolution” . It is a very detailed and interesting read. It is probably part of why the leftist media and the Dems went after Roger Stone, and partly as a warning to anyone else contemplating strong support of PDJT
He should be completely invisible on the campaign trail, though. He's a dopey jackass with a big mouth and an ego that got him into a lot of trouble.
Things were just a bit different then.
Trump distanced himself from Stone in 2016.
Stone needs to count his blessings, vote for Trump and end it at that.
Which is why Stone is incapable of being invisible anywhere. Concentrate on his appeal and stay out of the campaign.
He was charged with, among other things, witness intimidation and lying to Congress. Those occurred in D.C. He got tried where the crime was committed.
I agree. Ix-nay to that.
I believe an injustice was done to Stone, but I have never been very comfortable with him. He always struck me as a devious sort and frankly I would rather he is NOT around the campaign.
In many ways, he was acting on his own behalf rather than a surrogate of Trump during the campaign and his “I know something you don’t shtick” is what got us here in the first place. Was it criminal? No. Did it benefit Trump? No.
I am fine with the commutation and think Stone has a good case for a retrial, but I am at a complete loss as to how/why he thinks his presence and showmanship will help the President.
It should have been transferred out.
Change of venue? Why?
He should not have been tried by an all Dem jury on such a politically charged alleged crime.
If these Dem prosecutors had to try their cases outside the beltway there’d be a whole lot fewer such prosecutions.
