Quote:The Trump media has been bleating for two days now that the original sentence recommended by the career Justice Department officials that Stone serve his twilight years breaking rocks, stamping out license plates, and working in a prison call center was a massive miscarriage of justice, a horror beyond words and reason, and a grim penalty for a wee, decrepit old dandy barely able to totter to the stand in his own defense.

Horseshit. The sentence Stone faced was appropriate because his actions weren’t simply a criminal — and criminally stupid — defense of the president. They were just one part of a wider assault from the transparently corrupt Trump-Barr kleptocracy on the entire administration of justice in the United States. William Barr, who has taken on the role of Trump’s family attorney, put his greasy thumb on the scale this week, demanding the U.S. attorneys in the case reduce Stone’s recommended sentence.

It led to the withdrawal of all four of the prosecutors, and the resignation of one. Barr’s bull-in-a-china-shop efforts on Stone’s behalf were comically absurd, driven by a Trump tweet, and will no doubt land him in front of congressional committees for a full political rectal exam in the immediate future.

Quote:In the late 1990s, I once asked the famous (or infamous, depending on your perspective) New York political operator Ray Harding about Stone. Harding was a man who knew where all the bodies — literal and metaphorical — were buried. He looked across his desk from behind a cloud of unfiltered-Camel smoke and said to me, “Roger parlayed one line of bull**** into a career. The only person who buys his bull**** is that moron Trump.”

At least some justice has come for Fort Lauderdale’s most prominent Penguin cosplayer and sleaze-ball boulevardier already. Trump left his former confidant hanging for two years, reducing Stone to penury in a one-bedroom apartment. Even if Trump pardons him, Stone will never work in politics again at any serious level — not that he did anyway.

He’ll never get out from under his legal bills. His speaking circuit appearances at local Republican clubs in Florida often bring in tens of dollars, and it’s gonna take longer than Stone has on this Earth to catch up. His days as a provocateur are over. He may get a hit or two on Infowars or OANN, but he’ll never be in the big green rooms again. His days without having the mark of “felon” — pardoned or not — branding him are over.

Roger Stone Knows Trump’s Secrets. That’s Why He’ll Avoid Prison

It's just a damned good thing that trump didn't meet Barr in a plane on a tarmac!

lol...wont read Solomon and then you serve up this sloppy hit piece dripping with bias and hate? Spare me. Most people cant even explain what Stone did wrong. His big threat was he was supposedly going to do something to a guys dog. The average rapist gets 4.2 years. Seven to 9 for a process crime committed by a 67 year old guy is a joke and everyone knows it. This is why Democrats cant get any traction. They keep tyring to convince the public that big nothing burgers are a bid deal. If some substantial wrong doing were ever to actually be committed by the Trump administration---nobody is going to believe a word this lying Democrat cabal has to say. They squandered all their credibility on nothing burgers.

That piece can be summed up: "Doesn't matter what Stone did. I hate him!"

Why would RWT even post something so ridiculous?

I'm just surprised RedWingTom wasnt on the Stone jury.
