Shorter Schiff: “Flip while you can, Roger. Or die in prison.”
Can the House charge people with lying to the Senate? Or does the body that was lied to have to do the charging?
“Ehhhvery- body must… get… Stone”
The sweat, dripping down Nixon’s face.
Seems interesting he went out of his way to say Trump called him in those late-night talks from a blocked phone cough Trump Tower meeting cough. He’s certainly got all the public loudmouth bravado of a born snitch.
Roger that…
Roger is rogered.
Have you seen what he looks like lately? It’s like the mark of Cain, how weaselly he looks and always has looked. It’s a warning from God not to ever, ever trust him.
“Scumbags Unanimous, Inc.”
Meh. No less an authority than Lindsey Graham has already educated the public that lying to Congress doesn’t prove any wrongdoing, it is nothing more than a process crime.
I am anticipating that many who testified before Congress will be lining up to get deals with the Special Counsel before Schiff takes over as chairman. Roger Stone has until about December 15th to cut a deal. Otherwise, I think Mueller will indict him (if he hasn’t already) and add charges of lying to Congress when he gets the download from Schiff.
Roger Stone communicated directly to Russian Intel (GRU). Roger Stone claimed that he spoke directly to Julian Assange. Roger Stone spoke regularly to Trump (and also to Junior). Roger Stone attempted to (and appears to have) obtained information on Wikileaks’ trove of stolen emails through Jerome Corsi and Ted Malloch. Roger Stone crowdsourced ideas through his network on how to leverage, exploit and use stolen information to benefit Trump and hurt HRC’s campaign. He provided those comments and suggestions to GRU and likely to the Trump campaign. Roger Stone has lied about all of it, some of it under oath.
Roger has earned his time in the barrel.
I can see Stone being Manafort in that he’s dumb enough to think he’s smarter than Mueller or that Trump will pardon him
He and Corsi have all but gone on TV and begged for pardons. Corsi in particular hasn’t even been subtle about it.
Roger Stone is so cute on the tee vee. I almost die laughing.
… but I know he has no fashion or common sense" Schiff concluded
I fervently hope that Schiff, or some other prominent Democrat (not Nancy sadly) points out WHY it is important not to lie to Congress, since the country seems to think otherwise of white-collar crime in general these days. It’s all you can get away with, all day every day, and if you don’t, you’re a sucker. I’m still waiting for someone to proclaim loudly that Trump not paying taxes (which HE proudly proclaimed) essentially makes all of his base pay for him to do business and thus bilk them. Not holding my breath.
They wouldn’t last two hours in prison
They’d end up in a federal white collar pen with a 9 hole golf course and tennis courts.
They wouldn’t last 30 seconds in a state pen.
