Prosecutors revealed for the first time two phone conversations Roger Stone had with then-candidate Donald Trump at key moments during the hack and dissemination of Democratic emails in 2016.
Zelinsky? Zelinsky? That sounds Ukraininan. It’s all part of the conspiracy!
The case is about Stone lying to Congress…if the prosecution backs this timeline up with evidence (and they will), that’s pretty much it. It’s going to be hard for Stone’s lawyers to argue he had no contact with the Trump campaign about Wikileaks data dumps when the messages are right there. Collusion with Trump is right there as well, though circumstantial…it won’t look good for Trump if Stone goes down for helping his campaign with stolen emails.
I’m sure there is a logical, rational, apolitical explanation for all of this.
Barr will just exercise some sort of prosecutorial discretion and make this all go away.
Has Prince been subpoenaed? He did so well perjuring himself testifying before a congressional committee, I’ll bet he’d be even more stellar in front of an actual prosecutor ready and willing throw the book at him.
Might be a good time to ground Prince and pull his passport until he “agrees” to his subpoena.
“Get me those emails”…
“Russia if you’re listening…”
Solicitation and Masterminded Stealing Emails…
= UNLAWFUL!
Per Mueller 302s, Manafort was still conspiring with the Trump campaign up to Nov 5th…and it was reported that he is still communicating with Trumpers up to now.
And so from 2016 to 2019, Manafort’s conspiracy theory of Ukraine (not Russia) hacked DNC server (the ultimate CON to the world) = Russiagate + Ukrainegate false premise!
So many characters who’ll be relying on Barr to go easy on them. If I were a gambling person, I’d bet on Stone and Giuliani being tossed aside.
Doesn’t matter because Trump will pardon Stone.
His parents brought him to the US when he was 2 years old, therefore his loyalties are to the old country (except for the potty training). /s
Here’s the ugly truth, these guys are ALL THUGS and they were ALL in on it. Barr will throw a monkey wrench into this trial, and Trump will pardon the whole lot of them. We need to beat Trump, convincingly at the ballot box next November, and then when the new AG is appointed, that person needs to make an example of everyone of these thugs, including the Trump’s to make clear this behavior will not be tolerated in the future. No bygones are bygones crap. This is traitorous behavior on the part of whole bunch of Republicans who are NOT Patriots.
From Spielberg’s “Bridge of Spies”:
“My name’s Donovan. Irish, both sides. Mother and father. I’m Irish and you’re German. But what makes us both Americans? Just one thing. One. Only one. The rule book. We call it the Constitution, and we agree to the rules, and that’s what makes us Americans. That’s all that makes us Americans. So don’t tell me there’s no rule book – and don’t nod at me like that, you son of a bitch.”
This goes a long way toward explaining how the RNC knew in advance when Wikileaks was going to release the emails they’d gotten from Russia.
“Trump can still win — but time is running out,”
My read, added to the “preserve the victory” language in the Mueller 302 dump, is that, barring a significant problem(s) like the Access Hollywood recording, they fully expected to win all along, because they knew the election had been rigged, perhaps by Russians, or domestic ratfuckers.
Hey…if this is deemed “criminal” then trumps claims of self, staff, family and associates executive immunity are all out the window…
Yes, Stone is guilty as charged.
Nor his help with stealing the election.
Stone’s on trial, but it’s still all about Trump.
Fortunately, there’s still impeachment. Unfortunately, the corruption reaches into GOP leadership both in the House and the Senate, so even though the House will impeach, the Senate will let Trump, Barr, Pompeo, and Pence all walk on their traitorous behavior.
