This is a great precedent. Now we can get all of the other people who lied to Congress like Comey, Clapper, Ohr, Brennan, Clinton, McCabe, and other who've had far more grievous crimes. Awesome job Mueller team!

 

Roger Stone Is Found Guilty in Trial That Revived Trump-Russia Saga

WASHINGTON — Roger J. Stone Jr., a former aide and longtime friend of President Trump, was found guilty on Friday of obstructing a congressional investigation into Russia’s interference in the 2016 election in what prosecutors said was an effort to protect Mr. Trump.

Mr. Stone, 67, was charged with lying to the House Intelligence Committee, trying to block the testimony of another potential witness and concealing reams of evidence from investigators. Prosecutors claimed he tried to thwart the committee’s work because the truth would have “looked terrible” for both the president and his campaign. He was found guilty of all seven counts he was charged with.

The government built its case over the past week with testimony from a friend of Mr. Stone and two former Trump campaign officials, buttressed by hundreds of exhibits that exposed Mr. Stone’s disdain for congressional and criminal investigators. Confronted with his lies under oath by one associate, prosecutors said, Mr. Stone wrote back: “No one cares.” They asked the jurors to deliver a verdict proving him wrong.

The evidence showed that in the months leading up to the 2016 election, Mr. Stone strove to obtain emails that Russia had stolen from Democratic computers and funneled to WikiLeaks, which released them at strategic moments timed to damage Hillary Clinton, Mr. Trump’s Democratic opponent. Mr. Stone briefed the Trump campaign about whatever he had picked up about WikiLeaks’ plans “every chance he got,” Jonathan Kravis, a lead prosecutor, said.

Roger Stone is a certified quack. He’s been asserting LBJ had Kennedy killed with nothing but speculation for years

My apologies then, JC.  I wrongly assumed you were.

How many heads will explode if Trump gets re-elected?  Remember how there was no chance of it really happening in 2016?  We really dodged a bullet by avoiding a President Hillary.  Whew.  LOL

If they'd actually charge Democrat affiliates and prosecute them with the same vigor as Trump's associates the list would be far, far longer than the 6 names (mostly charged on process crimes) you came up with. But our justice system doesn't work that way and we'll just let them all go because, um... Hillary lost?

What’s stopping them? Or do we need to remind you again that northside had complete control of Washington for two years? Why did many of these criminal Democrats get drug in front of Congress?

I believe Stone has been found guilty of Process crimes.  Lying to Congress.....well I just have to laugh.  Does lying to congress actually matter?  Ohh that's right only if you are not a Democrat.

I want everything to think about this real hard. Roger Stone, who was convicted of trying to contact whistleblower website Wikileaks to help the Trump campaign and then lied to Congress about it, was prosecuted with more vigor than Jeffrey Epstein - a known pedophile and sex trafficker with ties to many wealthy and powerful people. That's the state of the law in this country. Stone basically has become a political prisoner which is something we associate with Communist countries and not America. Meanwhile those who have committed more egregious and heinous crimes are only taken to task when it becomes absolutely necessary to protect the greater mass of the rich and authoritative.

I think we can all agree on this regardless of political affiliation.

They don't have control of the intelligence agencies which seem to think they can make or break leaders depending on how cooperative they are with their schemes, I'm pretty sure that's not how governments work in a free country.

But yet you want Donald Trump to investigate this corruption, which means that he has to task those investigative agencies with doing the investigations. So which one is it?

He's actually not even using them which is why the DOJ and Giuliani got the call. The Intelligence Agencies need to be cleaned up first before any President trusts them again as they've gotten too big for their britches and engage in partisan politics.  Just remember Chucky's words:

Both the FBI and the CIA work under the DOJ. Rudy Giuliani is fucked. He was trumps personal lawyer, had no clearance and was not a member of the state department, working in the Ukraine to push Trump’s agenda

Normally I might disagree with that but after Roger Stone anything is possible. They want to take down any person surrounding Trump on any infraction they can find no matter how trivial.

hahahaha. right. any person surrounding fatass..... how many of those are there anyway?  6? 10?  soooo many of his sycophantic ball washers have taken a fall..... jesus you are a laughable cultist.

[DannyBoy 20,194]

On January 25, 2019, Stone was arrested at his Fort Lauderdale, Florida, home in connection with Robert Mueller's Special Counsel investigation and charged in an indictment with witness tampering, obstructing an official proceeding, and five counts of making false statements (1). 

The hit men of the Mueller Special Council's office under assistant Deputy Attorney General Rod Rosenstein showed up in full tactical gear moving on the Stone house from all directions (including high speed rubber raft boats in the canal) early in the morning.  Stone had volunteered to turn himself in without the need for that nonsense but of course Rosenstein wanted a big production with only CNN tipped off for the news coverage.  So this was not the honest and dedicated agency some try to make it sound like.  Other jackboot raids were done in similar manner.  Wake up and soon!  At least the liberal never-trumpers in the Justice Department are relegated to the lower ranks but they can still cause damage.  The Durham investigation focused on the opening of an FBI couterintelligence investigation during the 2016 presidential campaign along with Justice Department's IG Michael Horowitz's investigation report coming out is going to make this and the corrupt House Dem's Shiff Show a footnote to Washington's woes.

Your last couple of posts have really reminded me why I put you on ignore on the old site. Keep up the good work of adding absolutely nothing to these conversations.

That was a total bullshit photo op for the press and totally unnecessary. A total waste of taxpayer money.
