Breaking: Trump ally Stone faces seven charges

[XenaLee]

That's kind of my point. Don't think these little process crimes will amount to nothing.

Ok... I have to ask (still working on my first cup of java, so bear with me).   

Do you mean that YOU don't think these process crimes will amount to anything?  Or do you mean that I/we shouldn't discount these process crimes...?

If it's the latter, I already do discount them... since they have nothing to do with "Russian collusion".
It's all just an unjust means to an end to get these "perps" to turn on and squeal on Trump.  But I digress...

That we shouldn't discount them nor thinking that having gotten into bed with the likes of Stone was a good move. These are puzzle pieces to a big picture that I don't think many will like the result of.

The end result may not be or end with Russian collusion just like the end result of Clinton's impeachment had nothing to do with Whitewater.

At that, one could almost say Republicans wrote this script 20 years ago.

Ah, yes... and as such, this sounds much like just another typical leftist "tit for tat" routine.

Thanks for the clarification.

You know, I once was at a Trump rally and met with Sean Hannity.
I wonder if Mueller and his goons will come after me next?
Doesn't that qualify as some kind of 'crime' in our new fascist State?
Aren't I now a State Criminal?

yes.  flee

And why body armor and automatic weapons were required to pick up a 66 year old guy for misleading congress.

Good practice for when they storm the White House.

The combined amount of supposed TDS here is completed eclipsed by your Mueller Derangement Syndrome. Tell us again, how he had four innocent people jailed, to protect an informant, in a trial that took place before he was even practicing law. That never ceases to be hilarious.

So the US govt' didn't pay two guys over $100 million in taxpayers money for illegal activities that Mueller did? Nice try.

Mueller could shoot a guy on 5th Ave and I wouldn't care.

Alan Dershowitz on the Roger Stone Indictment:

"It really means there has been a failure to uncover the basic crimes for which [Mueller] was appointed. Namely before he was appointed was there illegal collusion, illegal conspiracy with Russia? We don't find that."

Just read a hilarious tweet that said...
If Trump really wanted Hillary to be locked up, he should have just hired her for something/anything!
She could be his maid and she would be investigated and in jail.

No, they didn’t and Nancy Gertner, the judge in the case, even said so. Nice try.

“I was unsparing in my criticism of the FBI and Justice Department officials who were responsible for this wrongful imprisonment. I named names where the record supported it. I resoundingly condemned the government in an unusual court session in which I read my conclusions.”

“Mr. Mueller is mentioned nowhere in my opinion; nor in the submissions of the plaintiffs’ lead trial counsel, Juliane Balliro; nor in ‘Black Mass,’ the book about Mr. Bulger and the FBI written by former reporters for The Boston Globe.”

“I can say without equivocation that Mr. Mueller, who worked in the United States attorney’s office in Boston from 1982 to 1988, including a brief stint as the acting head of the office, had no involvement in that case. He was never even mentioned.”

Because... it literally became the proverbial 'can of worms'.... that, the more you looked into it, the worse it got.  Unlike the Mueller witch-hunt... where the only thing Mueller has been able to dredge up is Scooter Libby-like process crimes.   

These "process crimes" illustrate (in more than one way), the way the legal system is misused, corrupted.  It depends on who you are and who you know whether you get prosecuted.  I don't like Trump.  I didn't vote for him, but the whole Mueller probe is garbage, terrifying in some ways.  Hillary gets away with putting the security of this country at risk and lying every time she opens her mouth without even a slap on the wrist. 

I've always thought people voted for Trump because they were so fed up with politicians.  The politicians have sure made that case since Trump was elected.

Amen to all your points. One's opinion of Trump should not be an issue here. This indictment appears to be an abuse of the legal process and a political witch hunt.

I don’t recognize an America where a federal prosecutor (the special counsel) could orchestrate a politically motivated, pre-dawn, show-of-force police raid on a subject who would have willingly surrendered by contacting his attorney, with CNN cameras pre-alerted and pre-positioned and rolling, for maximum fear and propaganda effect.

Disgusting, police state tactics. Someone needs to fry for this kind of third-world political theater.

Exactly.  The howling should be deafening to learn how the media was alerted.

Quoting Bill Maher?  Really? Maher might like this illustration too:



What's next? Quoting Rolling Stone? Michael Moore? Ilhan Omar? How about all of this bigotry, anti-semitism from the left now?

Trump: 'Who alerted CNN' to be at Roger Stone's house at time of arrest?

President Trump questioned whether someone tipped off CNN to be present at his former associate Roger Stone’s home when he was arrested early Friday morning.

“Greatest Witch Hunt in the History of our Country! NO COLLUSION! Border Coyotes, Drug Dealers and Human Traffickers are treated better. Who alerted CNN to be there?” Trump posted to Twitter Friday.

Trump tweets about Roger Stone raid, "Who alerted CNN to be there?"  Just think!  If you were president, you could haul the FBI director's ass into the Oval Office and ask him yourself.
