Stone’s case fits the definition of a political prisoner.

Hopefully, he’ll be hand delivering some of those indictments to the Dem committee members during the hearing

I wrote a similar thing yesterday

And it wouldn’t surprise me a bit to find that Lil’ Schitt wrote this script too

Pencil Neck won’t wait until the end of the month to start investigating, whether it’s his committees purview or not

Completely aware of the Process Crimes in the bogus investigation. That’s why one should prepare for the deep state attacks.
I’ve always wondered why Scooter Libby, an intelligent person, by all accounts a decent attorney, allowed himself to be caught in Fitzpatrick’s web. (But I can totally see Stone in the mess he created)
Same as it ever was.

Trump will pardon them both shortly after he is re-elected.

Of course, the real bin Laden had been dead for over a year at the time of the Abbottabad raid. You hopefully noticed that Team Barry instigated that raid just as there was an overwhelming tide of negative reaction to Barry's fraudulent, forged Long Form Birth Certificate. Barry needed a distraction, and "killing OBL" was an op that had been judged to possibly deliver a seriously positive headline.

Within three and a half months, rumors from the faked raid and its classified secrets swelled among the participating Seal Team 6 members. Their participation had been outed "coincidentally" by Vice President, Joe Biden, putting extreme and even unknown pressures on the Seal Team members.

Even though Joe is eight years older than Ronald Reagan was in 1980, when he was mercilessly ridiculed for his "doddering old age," Joe "you don't have to do this" Biden's unlikely presidential candidacy during which relatively less has been made of his advanced age, an impeachment was able to be precariously constructed. Without that, it is unlikely Biden could have been plausibly made to be the "political adversary" PDJT supposedly had an "election fraud" reason to bring down.

Just three and a half months after the OBL raid, Extortion 17, the mistakes-abounding, micromanaged Team Barry-Pentagon controlled Operation (see Captain Marquez' testimony) killed almost all of Seal Team 6 as well as several others.

If there's one identifying characteristic of Barry-controlled operations, it's their thumb-on-the-scales, advantaged nature they all have enjoyed. Coincidence or an operational error is completely out the window wherever Barry has been involved. His fingerprint is consistently seen in his overplaying his narcissistic hand. (E.g., The Fuddy Hoax? Have Brennan use a submarine full of CIA FVEYs trainees to accomplish your true election fraud. Wiretap The Donald? Use a British spy, through whom Russians get paid, even while HRC has gotten >$145M from Russians.) Overplaying the coup!

Doesn’t mean he should have had the 25-man swat team at his house at 6 am or should be prosecuted for anything, let alone tossed in the slammer for 9 years.

Trump says he will not pardon Stone 'yet'...

He will so why wait? Trump pardoned Arpaio before he was sentenced so he's done it before.

I’ll wager that President Trump is waiting for Roger Stone, General Flynn and Paul Manafort to receive their final sentences BEFORE he pardons all.

Manafort's already been sentenced. Why wait for him or the others?

“Stone is an A$$hole. Imho”

He’s a weirdo, for sure, but does he deserve this? For me, being falsely accused or unfairly punished is worse than just about anything. This double standard has got to stop!

It's Trump's Justice Department who charged, tried, and convicted him.

“...set up...”

Yes. They think they are setting a trap ... I don’t think it will work though.

And Manafort would have never been prosecuted if not for being associated with Trump. It’s all a pile of BS.

I would love to see obama judge Amy Jackson locked up for her corruption. Same for Mueller.

It was actually the Special Counsel’s office.

Whether Stone is an Asshole, or not, he committed no crimes. Lying to Congress, if he did, no one ever gets prosecuted for it unless you are associated with Trump.

See Scooter Libby.
“ No one is above the law”. Unless you’re a progressive.
