Roger Stone Says He’ll Die in Jail Without Pardon, Trump Calls Situation ‘Disgraceful’
Epoch Times ^ | 04/18/2020 | Zachary Steiber

Roger Stone on Friday night said he believes he will die in jail unless he’s pardoned by President Donald Trump.

Stone, a longtime friend and former adviser to Trump, was sentenced on Feb. 20 to three years and four months in prison.

Stone was convicted on charges including lying to a congressional committee that was investigating Russian interference in the 2016 U.S. election.

Stone in recent weeks moved for a new trial, pointing out anti-Trump social media posts made by the jury forewoman, and tried getting the presiding judge to recuse herself after she praised the “integrity” of the jurors.

Both attempts failed. U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson of the District of Columbia this week said Stone would not get a new trial after she refused to recuse herself. Stone, 67, was under a gag order throughout the ordeal. That order was lifted Friday, prompting an appearance on Fox News.

“I was very hopeful that the motion for a mistrial in my case—based on flagrant and blatant, even egregious juror misconduct—would’ve won me a new trial. The U.S. Supreme Court has been very clear that all defendants are entitled to a jury that is impartial and indifferent. But in this case, it is indisputable that the jury forewoman attacked both me and President Trump in 2019 social media postings, lied about that during jury selection, and then later deleted her Facebook page to cover her trails,” Stone said on the network’s “Tucker Carlson Tonight.”

Host Tucker Carlson said he was confused about Stone not being pardoned by Trump, prompting the president’s former adviser to say a sentence would likely leave him dead.

“I never knew what exactly was the lie.”

He refused to lie and give them fake evidence to use against Trump.

That’s why he was charged with lying.

Welcome to Amerika 1984.

The election is 6 months away. Since Roger was never part of the campaign just what did he do as a citizen to affect
the election or national security?

I know right from wrong, the jury was tainted the judge is a disgrace, and Roger doesn’t deserve to be in jail.

Besides his wife is ill and him not being there for her
is just sickening and wrong.

Election Day.

Once it’s over, Roger is pardoned.
Roger and everyone paying any attention knows this.

It would be a non-issue if Obamaunist Judge Amy Berman granted Roger Stone the new trial he deserved.

Roger's sin was that he was perceived to be a friend to President Trump. They have not been able to get President Trump, therefore they go after his friends.

Now,if he could change his name to Hillary Clinton, James Comey, Hunter Biden he would be home free.

The left is angry that he hasn’t died already. Every last one of them.

He may be a bit of a pos but, it’s really the inequality of justice that is so troubling.
I wish Trump would pardon Stone and let the rats expose themselves by making an issue of it for all the people to observe.
Things that Stone has done probably pales to what Bidumb has done.
That would be lot of fun for Trump.

Trump has been unable to prevent the uber-corrupt Mueller investigation from successfully prosecuting Trump's team. Flynn, Stone, Manafort, Gates, Cohen all guilty, facing or serving long charges. Papadopolous, who did nothing remotely wrong is a convicted felon but only had to spend 12 days in jail.

Meanwhile, the Senate committees, Horowitz's IG office, the referrals, US Attorney Huber, US Attorney Durham -- nobody has laid a finger on the deep state.

It sure feels like the Deep State won, a success that will be locked in if Trump is unable to secure a second term.

Trust the plan?
Yeah, right.
