It appears that the jury in the Roger Stone trial was tainted
American Thinker ^ | 02/13/2020 | Andrea Widburg

From beginning to end, Robert Mueller and his squad used Roger Stone as an object lesson to frighten anyone who had high-level contact with the Trump campaign in the lead-up to and immediately after the election. Stone is not a savory character, but the treatment meted out to Stone, now 67, had a revolting aura of police state hanging about it from the start. Now, it turns out that this un-American police state set up a kangaroo trial to shuttle Stone into prison.

The Mueller mob started its press against Stone in January 2019, when Stone, who ought to have been a generic white-collar criminal,

was instead subjected to a humiliating midnight predawn raid with cars full of riot gear-clad FBI agents, all staged before the cameras of CNN, which was exclusively granted access to the scene worthy of an action movie.  [Update: It is not clear who leaked news of the raid to CNN, having the effect of staging it for the most anti-Trump of networks. ]This is similar to the treatment of Paul Manafort, but with the added indignity of CNN cameras.

Stone, a first-timer, was eventually convicted of lying to Congress, interfering in the House’s Russian Collusion Hoax investigation, and tampering with a witness. All of these charges sound serious, but the first two are garden-variety politics and a routine occurrence in D.C. As for the third, the witness at the receiving end of the fulminating threats Stone issued recognized them for the language of an angry, impotent man, and found them laughable.

Despite all this, Mueller’s cadre asked the judge to impose a seven-to-nine year prison term for Stone. While this is technically within the reach of the laws Stone violated, it’s a grotesque demand

Naw, Trump should shut up about it and let more innocent people be tossed into prison by corrupt Democrats, and their corrupt persecutors, and their corrupt juries, and their corrupt federal activist judges, right Lindsey!?

Kangaroo courts for all!

I’m not surprised that the jury was tainted by a racist black that was part of the corrupt Willie Harrington school system in Memphis, Tennessee. Memphis is a cesspool.

"Your lack of enthusiasm for the party's policies has been noted comrade..."

That is exactly the message coming from the leftists now running and ruining the 'rat party.

It was all about squeezing Stone and others for dirt on the President anyway. When they wouldn’t roll over it was time for years of punishment.

Been tbere once for Hands Across America. Drove several hours with a carload of people, got there barely in time. Found the line and we were the only white people in sight. No one bothered us. Partied on Beale Street for a few hours and saw Percy Sledge sing When a Man Loves a Woman, and drove home.

1989, haven’t been back, had a fantastic time though.

The politically-driven prosecutor and politically-biased judge are tainted too.

Comey and demented Mueller set Stone up to pressure him against President Trump. What a sick FBI and DOJ the American people have. Taxpayers deserve better than a bunch of lowlife administrators running the Judicial System to destroy the President.

Rats might “impeach” again before allowing a mistrial that will further expose their felonies.

It’s why Quid Pro is still “running”.

The Democrats know they are personally responsible for keeping every DC attorney employed for the next few decades. If they get voted out of office, their future employment relies on lobbyists.

Tainted hell! It was rotten through and through. In a just World, they would be dangling from a rope tied to a tree limb with about four feet of air between their shoe sloes and the ground.

I knew 3 years ago that Mueller was joining a corrupt conspiracy - that ironically would eventually destroy his reputation

What come out though is in ways even worse - he’s a doddering old fool from the deep state who came in from pasture to give his imprimatur on true coup d’etat
