Roger Stone says he won’t testify against Trump as he vows to fight charges
NY Post ^ | January 25, 2019 | Lia Eustachewich

A defiant Roger Stone said he would fight the criminal charges filed against him Friday, pledging not to “bear false witness” against President Trump.

“There is no circumstance whatsoever under which I will bear false witness against the president, nor will I make up lies to ease the pressure on myself,” Stone said outside federal court in Fort Lauderdale.

“I look forward to being fully and completely vindicated.”

Wearing a blue polo and jeans, Stone emerged from the courthouse to a swarm of media, protesters and supporters after he was released on a $250,000 bond.

Who sent the mob to heckle Stone at his press conference?

They only succeeded in driving home that the arrest is political.

Stone said he would “not bear false witness,” meaning he will tell the truth.

Why is the press reporting Stone “won’t testify against Trump,” as in this title? This implies he will hide the truth.

Those two statements are not nearly identical.

The “mob” sounded like about 3 loud, well-positioned professional voices. They were very effective and will be well paid.

President Trump’s presidency is a over. That does not mean that Mr. Trump is not a patriot, he is not a hero, or that he is a coward. He is heroic, patriotic, and strong, and I think he has tried to serve Great God our King.

God gave us a short period of grace to prepare for what is coming. But now that time of grace is over, and the forces of darkness return again, stronger than before. God will defeat them, but for now, prepare for evil times, and look up. I am glad to see Mr. Stone has his friend, Alex Jones, by his side. Though I have had plenty of issues with Mr. Jones, I think that truth may be on his side more than we realize, and Satan wears the face of Nancy Pelosi (and here I thought its face was Hillary’s face.)

“Roger Stone says he won’t testify against Trump as he vows to fight charges...”

That headline is totally deceptive.

Stone said he would not “bear false witness” against Trump which is a distant concept from “testifying against Trump” which implies that he could truthfully bear witness against Trump but refuses to do so.

“President Trump’s presidency is a over.”

Did he die suddenly? Government is open for three weeks. We could wait to see what happens then.

You’re being too dramatic, but I empathize. We all want to have him go on national TV and start announcing arrests, thousands of them.

It’s been very bad, for a very long time, and the last election exposed for everyone the reality that the GOP is out for themselves, Period.

The swamp wasn’t made in a day. It’s not going to drain like a bathtub.

“President Trump’s presidency is a over.”

I can’t help but think it is over for America. A predawn raid to intimidate Stone. CNN there due to a leaky Mueller. The democrats gloat. Obama is a hero to them, Hillary a saint. The forces of darkness are everywhere.

Looks to me like Roger Stone is a victim of Soviet style show trial tactics. The high number of heavily armed G-men, the waiting cameras, and the timing of the arrest were all for SHOW.
