Stone looks like the love child of Louie Gohmert and Mike Pence. It’s a wonder he doesn’t drown when it rains.
What does this Stone guy have on people. His peeps tend to go to the mat for him.
Time to squeeze the Stones harder…
If a witness is held in contempt but the judge stays the order pending appeal, it would seem he’s NOT in jail. Sad.

Lock him up!
(Lock them all up.)
Miller’s mother worked for Stone for decades. That breeds a certain kind of loyalty.
And yes, Miller does not want to testify, but we shouldn’t assume it’s Stone (or only Stone) he and the people paying his legal bills are trying to shield.

American justice has a pause button, huh?
Gotta get me one of those and a list of banks.
Yep. Stone has been crawling around the sexual underbelly of DC and of the GOP for a long time. He’s the orgy organizer.
This one is complicated, and the Twittersphere is going nuts.
Miller’s lawyers requested the contempt filing, but only because they couldn’t quash it.

This is an attack on Mueller investigation. Contempt finding is immediately appealable (that’s why Miller’s attorney requested the finding after losing motion to quash). Conservative group is paying Miller’s fees. His challenge to Mueller’s authority now goes to DC appeals court.
Oh, and the head of the DC Appeals court?

So now it will get an expedited hearing in the D.C. Circuit Court of Appeals, the Chief Judge of which is . . . Merrick Garland
And who else is on there? Yes, that’s right. Kavanaugh.

@RickPetree
D.C. Circuit has 12 active Judges. Appeals from District Courts are heard by 3 judge panels. Appellants can request an ‘en banc’ hearing (all judges sitting, but it’s disfavored. I assume Garland, as Chief Judge, will assign it to three judges other than himself or Kavanaugh
PS: Manafort tried this basic approach, and it didn’t work. His appeal was dismissed. Also, contempt is contempt. Even with a scum like Kavanaugh. You are ordered by the court to testify, you testify. Or you go to jail.
What a boon to the legal profession Trump has been. The number of grifters, scoundrels, and thieves in this administration is astounding. I just wish HST was still with us, this demands gonzo journalism, but the sheer mendacity of it would probably kill him.

I hope Stone’s legal bills bankrupt him and he ends up going to jail anyway. When I pray to my higher power to help me find forgiveness and tolerance in my heart for all people, I always say “with the exception of Roger Stone”.
Lock him up! (Sound familiar?) Sad.
Whats interesting is that i just read that the manhattan madam connected to stone is going before the grand jury today…is miller stalling in order to hear what happens to day…
Gee, there’s a lot of “contempt” amongst the Trumpies.
Stone’s a blackmailer. Like Hoover, he has the goods on all the toe-tappers in Congress. Teamed up with Manhattan Madam who has already spoken with Mueller’s team. Elliot Spitzer and other low level ‘important’ people were on their hit list.
Anyone who would go to jail to protect Stone deserves some quiet time to think about it – in jail.
