Discussion: Stone On Alleged Lies: 'I Did Make Some Errors,' But They're 'Inconsequential'

“I am human.”

I take him at his word.

“These are very specific allegations of lies and witness intimidation. They’re matters that will be easily provable. These are not ambiguous statements, they’re very detailed, and I think he’s going to need a much better defense than the one you just heard.”

Sometimes I see a little twinkle in Adam Schiff’s eye and it makes me think he’s actually being dryly humorous when he says these things. They’ve got Stone’s slimy hide nailed to the barn door, and the above is to me, at least, a pretty funny understatement.

I am ‘really’ upset about the threat to the beautiful Bianca.

Witness tampering is not a process crime, nor is it inconsequential. Stone’s threats of physical violence against witnesses and their pets is a serious crime in its own right carrying a 20 year sentence. Since Stone made death threats, he is unlikely to get less than ten years.

Add in the lying to the FBI and it is unlikely Stone will leave prison alive unless he cops a plea and co-operates. And that is just on the first set of charges. It is obvious that a lot more charges will follow.

Yeah, just dozens and dozens of procedural lies — lies about what was proceding among Trump, Russia, and Wikileaks, that’s all. He’s jus’ a li’l feller — he don’ know nothin’ ‘bout nothin’.

You’re so right, should have used the plural for “sack”.

Agree wholly. The Feds are clearly wielding a massive stick over his head, holding a lot in reserve to ‘encourage’ him to cooperate.

And who threatens a dog?

And as Paul M learned all too well, cooperating means cooperating, not going through a charade of cooperating while continuing to lie and engage in witness meddling and continuing to generally scam and angle for a pardon.

I have to say I’m glad the GOP noise machine doesn’t run the legal system yet, because they couldn’t be more dismissive of “process crimes,” as they love to say. The prevailing attitude seems to be that if you commit a crime in the course of maybe committing another yet unproven crime, the maybe-crime and the known crime somehow water each other down to the point you’ve hardly committed a crime at all.

“I’m a lifetime lobbyist keeping track of millions of dollars and donors and busy writing corporate -friendly laws. How can I be expected to remember stuff? I’m just a simple, harmless ‘seasoned practitioner of insider poltics’, childlike in my dreams and memories. For shame on the lawyers who are ‘trying to defend America’, for shame.”

Could not agree more. And, yes, always more Republicans than Democrats on CNN because, you know, they might show bias.

I disagree with that whole meme about his Nixon tattoo being something dangerous to him in prison. I’d bet a vast population of current prison population either doesn’t know who Nixon was or too young to remember Watergate or just won’t care because so many of them have plenty of bizarre tats of their own.

If you have time, please contact the mainstream networks of your choice and let them know you care about fairness and getting the facts right.

More Old Geezers’ eyes and ears…

My feeling about the MSM is this:

It would be much different if their bosses were confronted with a national audience 95% of whom had the classical education of most of us on this site.

Not “dangerous.”

But rather: “in what sorts of circumstances did Stone expect to find himself in which a Nixon portrait between his shoulder blades would be seen by someone Stone wished to impress.”

Takes a minute. And then…

…eeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…
