Conservatives question if they get a fair shake from Washington juries

'This city is a magnet for the far left'

 By Jeff Mordock - The Washington Times - Saturday, November 30, 2019

The overwhelmingly liberal bent of Washington has right-wing politicos wondering whether they can truly get a jury of their peers and receive a fair trial in the nation’s capital.

Conservatives say the answer is a resounding “no” and point to this month’s conviction of Trump confidant Roger Stone.

A jury in downtown Washington, D.C., on Nov. 15 found Stone guilty on all seven charges against him, including lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction.

“It is metaphysically impossible for a Trump associate to get a fair trial and draw a jury of their peers,” former Trump campaign adviser and staunch Stone supporter Michael Caputo told The Washington Times. “This city is a magnet for the far left and no one who doesn’t subscribe to those political views has a chance with a D.C. jury.”

Not this [bleep] again!

Did it ever occur to these people that maybe Stone was found guilty because the evidence and testimony proved he WAS GUILTY?

But hey, if there is evidence that Stone was convicted  because of some political bias, then his attorneys should bring it up on appeal.  If they don't, then I guess they believe there wasn't any.

They are right to question.  We can't get a "fair shake" from a R Congress much less the D.C. public.
