On the strong advice of my attorneys and after giving the decision considerable thought, I have reluctantly decided to dismiss the appeal of what I believe to be a wrongful conviction in a trial tainted by judicial bias, egregious and blatant juror bias and misconduct and prosecutorial misconduct. Therefore, I directed my attorneys to withdraw my appeal from the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit.
I Could Never Get a Fair Hearing Before this Court of Appeals, Given its Political Agenda
First, I have come to the firm conclusion based on their previous actions in my case to date and based on their recent actions in the Flynn case, that it would be impossible for me to ever get a fair hearing from this appellate court for the vitally important, fundamental constitutional issues my case raises.
Although I believe the gag order issued in my case was patently unconstitutional and the free speech issues filed in a Writ of Mandamus with the United States Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit, by one of the most prominent First Amendment lawyers in the country were fairly straightforward, the Court waited many weeks before granting the Government’s request for more time. During this time, while the Washington Post (the dominant newspaper in the jurisdiction from which the jury was selected) as well as CNN, MSNBC and others attacked me with falsehoods, I was prohibited from responding. Let there be no doubt the jury pool was seriously tainted and I sustained serious damage. The Appeals Court after an unreasonable delay, took no action but rather sent the decision back to Judge Berman Jackson, as if there was any possibility that she would vacate her own order.

Perhaps he anticipates a Trump pardon in 2021.
That’s what I’m thinking.
And sometimes, when we reach a certain age, we realize that there are far more important and interesting things to contemplate and be concerned about than the very transient issues of this flimsy, material life.
He may simply realize that he can do more good and become more personally actualized by striking out on a different path.
And he was already pardoned. So the courts would toss it as moot?

DOJ should just drop the charges.
He was not pardoned. His sentence was commuted. That means he is still a convicted felon. Just does not have to go to jail.
The real travesty is that our courts have become stages where political retribution by Marxist judges can be used as a weapon instead of the blind interpretation of the law and justice.
You’re right. So, maybe he decided that in the criminally corrupt leftist hothouse environment that is the DC Circuit Court system, being labelled a felon by the true kings of felony was an ironic badge of honor rather than a stain on his character. Why fight such lunacy any longer.
Since Trump gave him a get out of jail pass, take yes for an answer and move on.
Should have asked for the pardon instead.
If Trump wins in November (should be a landslide, but who knows between illegal immigrants voting and mail-in voter fraud), Trump can issue a full pardon to Stone later down the road.
His sentence was commuted not pardoned. He is still considered guilty of lying to congress but he won’t spend years in prison for it.
“lying to congress “
That’s a REAL thing? /s
What about lying BY congress? Now THAT is a REAL thing!
