Roger Stone is asking a federal appeals court to delay the date when he has to report to prison to begin serving his 40-month sentence.
A federal judge last week granted him a short delay, to July 14 after Stone cited coronavirus concerns. But late Monday Stone’s lawyers asked the D.C. Court of Appeals to delay his reporting date to Sept. 3.
“He is at considerable risk from serious health consequences, including death, if his surrender date is not extended,” Stone’s motion says. The judge “failed to give adequate deference to the government’s uniform policy not to oppose surrender date extension motions due to the pandemic, and failed to consider authority from around the country on this issue under similar circumstances.”
Stone, a longtime confidant of President Donald Trump, was convicted in November on charges of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia in the 2016 election and was sentenced in February.
Lock Amy Berman up!
I’m not sure if he can afford to fight on so many fronts. The system is rigged.
Traitor Roberts would disagree....
I think the priority is to keep him out of prison and try and challenge the other stuff later. I might be wrong...
Still left dangling out there...
Trump must step up. They only went after Roger because
he is a long time friend of Trump’s
Now we know the jury was tainted, the prosecution and judge
were rigged. If this is American justice Scalia is spinning in his grave.
Roger wouldn’t sing a BS song about Trump so the left
thru the works at him.
Its all rotten leftist crap.
