I see you have fun with the commentary but are shy to answer straight questions... why is that?I hate to break it to you but shady communications is conspiring and it can rise to the level of a crime or not. Stone didn’t coordinate with the hacking and wasn’t charged with conspiracy for that crime. He did have communications with both the Russians and the Trump campaign that he lied about. Using the word conspiring is accurate. You were playing word word games.Oh you need the actual word conspiracy as a charge?! I get it, we are playing that game are we?! Ok... you win. He wasn’t charged with conspiracy. He had shady communications with both the Russians responsible for stealing information and leaking through Wikileaks and the Trump campaign which he lied about and was this charged for obstruction and making false statements. How’s that work for you?I posted all the charges... all the things he lied about involved his conspiring. What’s wrong with you today? These questions are idiotic and I’ve posted answers to them alreadyAlso AG Barr called the conviction righteous and the sentencing fair.
Can you post the conspiracy charge?
I posted all the charges...
And none were conspiracy.
Oh you need the actual word conspiracy as a charge?!
You said, "Ok, then what should be done with people who conspire with these very serious crimes?"
Ok... you win. He wasn’t charged with conspiracy.
We agree.
He had shady communications with both the Russians responsible for stealing information and leaking through Wikileaks and the Trump campaign
AFAIK, "shady communications" isn't a crime.
which he lied about and was this charged for obstruction and making false statements.
Finally, accuracy. Thank you.
But now that we got it all straightened out do you care to answer my question?
You think people who committed the crimes that the Russians did should be shot. Stone communicated with them about the stolen material and then with the Trump campaign. He then lied about that communication, obstructing an investigation and also intimidated a witness. So is his indictment justifiable? Should he go to jail? Why or why not?
I hate to break it to you but shady communications is conspiring
I don't believe you.
He did have communications with both the Russians and the Trump campaign that he lied about.
Lying about a non-crime. Ok.
Using the word conspiring is accurate.
Conspiracy has a real, legal meaning. Which hasn't been shown in Stone's case.
You think people who committed the crimes that the Russians did should be shot.
Am I wrong to think that? How about 20 years in jail? Better?
Stone communicated with them about the stolen material and then with the Trump campaign.
So? Communicating isn't a crime.
He then lied about that communication, obstructing an investigation and also intimidated a witness.
Yup. Lying under oath, even about a non-crime, is a bad idea.
So is threatening a witness, even jokingly.
Still doesn't fit the legal meaning of conspiracy.
And you have fun inventing your own definitions for words.
