I can see it coming......not even a week after their last attempt to impeach Trump failed.....they're trying to invent another one.
In Twitter rampage, Trump attacks federal judge set to sentence Roger Stone
They tried to impeach him over a friggen phone call....now those SOBs will try to impeach Trump over a Tweet.
Hey Donald! How about just shutting the **** up....
Maybe you won't get impeached....again..
LOL...wouldn't that be a hoot. The first president to get impeached twice!! Couldn't happen to a nicer fuckwit...
Trump has the same right to speak as anyone else. The last impeachment ended with Nancy Pelosi committing a felony before a live national audience and drove Trump's approval rating to his highest ever. By all means, impeach him again!
Did Roger Stone do anything wrong?
Stone was the last domino to fall as part of special counsel Dirty Bob Robert Mueller’s baseless Witch Hunt into alleged collusion between the Trump campaign and Russia — of which Mueller, of course, found none. The famously CNN tipped early morning FBI raid at Stone’s house to arrest him was even more evidence that he was part of a political dog-and-pony show rather than a legitimate criminal target.
Stone’s "crimes" essentially amounted to exaggerating about his own contacts with Wikileaks. The crux of the prosecution’s case is that Stone lied by naming Randy Credico — who? — as his intermediary to Wikileaks.
Prosecutors in Stone’s case
claimed the sentence was deserved because foreign election interference is the most deadly adversary of republican government, but failed to mention that Stone was never found guilty of conspiring with Russia or Wikileaks. They also pointed to aggressive messages Stone sent to Credico, downplaying the fact that Credico said he never believed Stone intended to carry out any threats and recommended probation rather than jail time for his former friend.
Nonetheless, some would rather see the government lock him up and throw away the key for the sole reason that he is an ally of President Donald Trump.
The average rapist in America serves just four years in prison. Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, was sentenced to just 21 months for sending photos of his penis to a minor.
Stone was not even granted a fair trial. The
lead juror in his case, Tomeka Hart, was a Democratic candidate for Congress in 2012, routinely followed the Russian collusion investigation via social media, and had posted numerous negative stories about Trump, including calling him the ‘#KlanPresident’. In January 2019, Hart retweeted a CNN analyst admonishing people who took issue with the FBI raid on Stone’s home after his indictment.
Are we really supposed to believe, as Hart
claimed in court, that she did not ‘pay that close attention’ to the Russia probe and that her views of Trump wouldn’t affect her opinion of Stone? Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee responsible for putting Paul Manafort in solitary confinement, has denied Stone a new trial based on allegations that Hart was a biased juror. Jackson also implemented a rather unusual full gag order on Stone
during the trial, preventing him from speaking about any aspects of the case.
Stone is being railroaded over his political inclinations.
President Trump has since weighed in on the sentencing recommendations, calling it ‘a phony Mueller Witch Hunt disgrace.’ This has lead people who can’t defend the sentencing recommendations to instead cry foul on the president’s involvement in the case, accusing him of putting his finger on the scale of justice.
The president’s comments are unlikely to have affected the Department of Justice at all. The DOJ had already planned on revising the sentencing guidelines before he ever tweeted, as
the department was ‘shocked’ at the up to 9 years suggestion. AG Barr has never spoken personally to the president about the case.
‘The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Mr. Stone’s offenses,’ an official told
Fox News.
For now, at least, it seems the DOJ will right this miscarriage of justice. If not, the president can and should step in.
