I take issue with HOW they acquitted him - yes. However, I also take issue with HOW congress impeached him.

I think the blame should be shared equally.


It's yet another example of the Swamp doin' Swamp things....

yep....they keep on mastering that 'art' as we sit on the sidelines and continue to laugh and cry at the same time...

I can't figure out why I despise politics...

"you take a mortal man......watch people's heads erode.....just like the pied piper....let rats rule the streets......straight to the symphony....." pure fk'n genius from the 'right' side of the hemisphere...

From the 6th amendment.
Newsflash, there's likely never been a trial in our history where the jury did not come in with total impartiality.

But there aren't many where they come in with full-blown bias, at least not since the Jim Crow days.

Quote:We're human...and flawed. It's not a perfect system, but it's pretty darn effective in the grand scheme. That's why we have a jury of 12.
Unless you show the jurist lied in her questioning by council, the judge, or in her submitted questionnaire, there's likely nothing you can do. If that's the case, Stone's council blew it by not getting her canned.

The jury questionnaire apparently included a question about social media use. If she lied there, she committed perjury. If she told the truth and Stone's legal team didn't have her struck, then they committed malpractice.

What I'm hearing is that the tweeting came to light during the trial and the defense team asked the judge to remove her and the judge refused. If that is correct, then the judge probably committed illegal judicial misconduct, for which she could and should be removed from the bench and prosecuted.

I look forward to having actual facts come out in this case. I'm fairly sure that if this had happened during Eric Holder's or Loretta Lynch's regimes at DOJ, we would never know the truth of it.

https://thehill.com/opinion/criminal-jus...ice-undone
Turley:

"...For example, Question 30 asked whether she had any opinion about figures such Donald Trump. There also was Question 23 that asked whether she had "written or posted anything for public consumption about the defendant, the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election, or the investigation conducted by Special Counsel Robert Mueller?" Questions 34 and 35 specifically ask about her prior knowledge or opinions of the Stone case, which she referenced on social media. It is hard to believe that she disclosed these public statements in her answer and was not questioned about them.

If this information was withheld by Hart, it raises a question about the veracity of her testimony and, more importantly, the fairness of the trial.

It certainly seems Hart had no place on the Stone jury. The Supreme Court has repeatedly declared that the “minimal standards of due process” demand “a panel of impartial, indifferent jurors.” Hart’s record suggests little that is impartial or indifferent. She was perfectly within her right to engage in such commentary and protests — but she had no right to sit in judgment of an associate of the president after her public declarations. Her participation raises serious arguments for setting aside the verdict, from the possibility of ineffective counsel to the denial of due process...."

Where are you hearing this? I think I cited an article above that said they tried to have another juror dismissed during the trial and were refused by the judge. This juror here was never an issue during the trial from what I've read.

RE: Stone Case - DOJ Stepping in (Draining of the swamp underway)
What I love is the Pom Pom brigade with a rooting interest in not having it come to light that the trial and sentencing was a judicial cess pool.

The judge who allowed that nut case to be empaneled could have issues on the horizon.

I could literally not give a flying fuq if Roger Stone goes to jail. If there was judicial, juror or prosecutorial misconduct in the trial or sentencing, I’d like to see that exposed and corrected. Same as I would for anyone.

https://thefederalist.com/2020/02/19/cam...ipartisan/

"...Not once in the 800-word article did the Times address the overwhelming evidence that the thousand-plus signatories were politically motivated critics of President Donald Trump. In fact, to the contrary, the Times claimed “the former Justice Department lawyers” “came from across the political spectrum....”

They spun themselves as apolitical, by stressing they worked for both Democratic and Republican administrations, but a quick visit to the Federal Elections Commission website to search for political contributions, aided by some amazing crowdsourcing, revealed extensive contributions to Democrats and liberal organizations by many of the signatories—so many, in fact, I called off the troops....

The “bipartisan” bull in the “buttoned-up and wary of calling attention to themselves” line is laughable given that Rocah signed the earlier letter concerning Mueller’s report, as did hundreds of her straight-laced, limelight-avoiding compatriots.

Likewise laughable is that The New York Times continues to hold any cachet in this country when the Old Grey Lady has proven time and again a prostitute will part with her reputation for petty politics. And that is exactly what the attacks on Barr are."

The situation with the other juror was bad enough.

As I understand it, the juror who ended up as foreman had previously tweeted a significant amount of anti-Trump propaganda, but on the jury form stated that she had not. That's perjury, and therefore it apparently did not come up in voir dire, but did come up later. Arguably, a totally thorough job on voir dire would have picked this up, so I don't really know what happened. I think either of them paints a picture of serious jury misconduct, if the allegations are true. And having two like that in one jury pool causes me to wonder if the pool wasn't somehow stacked. I realize that is a very serious proposition, but I'm having a hard time figuring out how this could have happened otherwise.

The fact that these jurors both got through voir dire can only be explained by total incompetence on the part of Stone's defense team, or else a jury pool that was so stacked that these were the least objectionable ones.

The judge struck me as extremely biased. She put the gag order on Stone when the prosecution and MSM was skewering Stone every day.

Hmm, "nothing to prove that," doesn't seem to be much of a barrier to all the allegations that have been made about Donald Trump.

I prefaced the comment with, "As I understand it," and that represents my current understanding. I'm doing a bit of inductive reasoning here. There was a copy of the jury questionnaire posted, I think in another thread on this board. The question was specifically asked. She had to answer either yes or no. If she answered yes and was left in, particularly in the #1 slot, then Stone's lawyer committed malpractice. If she answered no, she committed perjury. Of the two, I think perjury is far more likely. I've seen nothing to prove or disprove either. The questionnaire exists somewhere, and the facts can be fairly easily established.

The other question I have is how did they end up with such an awful panel that she was left in? Surely they struck some jurors, and perhaps got others removed for cause. The obvious implication is that the jurors that were struck must have been worse. How bad were they?

IIRC, only the blank questionnaire was posted here. There was nothing shown with any of her answers to the questions.

I took your understand it comment to just be referring to the social media posts.

RE: Stone Case - DOJ Stepping in (Draining of the swamp underway)
The judge on this case was a complete moron. You do not go to sentencing phase when you have found out you have a seriously tainted jury. The gag order was also something straight out of a hrid world communist regime.

So now what happens is that the case will get tossed, and the DOJ will decide not to re-prosecute it.

As I said above, I'm doing some inductive reasoning here. She had to answer that question yes or no. If she answered yes, then that should have raised a huge red flag for the defense team, and allowing her into the jury would constitute major malpractice. If she answered no, then she perjured herself. Those are the only two options--massive legal malpractice or perjury.

My money is on perjury as the far more likely option. There are no others. Either way, at some point we should know how she answered.

Where are you hearing this? I think I cited an article above that said they tried to have another juror dismissed during the trial and were refused by the judge. This juror here was never an issue during the trial from what I've read.

Its clear that when they were selecting the jury she flat out lied about her knowledge, attitudes, and preconceived notions regarding the defendant. I think defense counsel could have done a better job---but in the face of bald face lying on the jurors part, most of the fault does not lie with the defense lawyer IMHO. If the tweeting came to light during the trial, I cant find anything on it. Its also obvious she actually tweeted anti-Trump material during the trial. We just dont know if anyone connected to the trial knew about.
