WASHINGTON ― Roger Stone, a former Trump campaign official and longtime practitioner of the political dark arts, was found guilty on Friday of all seven counts he was charged with, which included lying to Congress.
Stone was accused of intimidating a witness and lying to congressional investigators who were looking into Russian interference in the 2016 election. He was found guilty on all seven counts he was charged with, including witness tampering, witness intimidation and giving numerous false statements to lawmakers about his communications with WikiLeaks.
Both publicly and in communications with Trump campaign officials, Stone purported to have connections to WikiLeaks, which released stolen information that was damaging to Democrat Hillary Clinton’s 2016 presidential campaign. WikiLeaks published emails hacked from the Democratic National Committee in July 2016 and published Clinton campaign chairman John Podesta’s emails in October 2016.
A federal prosecutor told jurors that Stone lied to Congress about his interactions with WikiLeaks intermediaries and Trump campaign officials “because the truth looked bad for Donald Trump.” Other members of the Trump campaign testified that they believed Stone had inside information on WikiLeaks, with one former official testifying that Trump indicated WikiLeaks would be releasing more information after he got off the phone with Stone in July 2016.
Prosecutors also said Stone tried to intimidate Randy Credico, a radio host he tried to convince not to cooperate with government investigations.
Stone was indicted in January as part of former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation into foreign interference in the election. Stone pleaded not guilty, then found himself in trouble with the court for his social media comments on his case as well as the Mueller probe.
The jurors were all planted by the deep state and the stonecutters in an effort to install a one world government and finally take down Alec Jones. Right Bryen
'So they now convict Roger Stone of lying and want to jail him for many years to come,' Trump wrote. 'Well, what about Crooked Hillary, Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Shifty Schiff, Ohr & Nellie, Steele & all of the others, including even Mueller himself? Didn’t they lie?'
'A double standard like never seen before in the history of our Country?'
Mind boggling
If I took drugs perhaps I would want what Trump thrives on
today will be a primo day to listen to the alex jones show. im stoked.
most people dont realize that those hillary for prison shirts were made by alex and infowars. so while im sure some of them were bootlegs made for profit, and while im clearly not a big hillary fan, its pretty scary to consider the fact that almost everyone wearing those tshirts at trump rallies bought them from the infowars store, they probably seriously listen to the alex jones show, and they thought it would be a good idea to financially support infowars. to use one of the many alex jones quotes adopted by mainstream conservatives, we are truly living in a clown world.
Over 60 million people voted for Trump because they're racist/sexist/homophobic and love guns.
youve gotta realize thats just as egregious of a generalization as saying everyone on the left is a socialist, loves antifa or is an sjw right?
id be willing to bet that a huge percentage of trump voters didnt even vote for him on the basis of any real issues...its about establishment vs outsider, the perception of authenticity, liking his brash and sometimes offensive ways of speaking and communicating, etc.
id guess there is also a sizable section of trump voters who are genuinely not racist, but have been swept up in the perception that the very small section of the left getting up in arms about PC issues, trying to control speech on campuses, etc etc(these kinda folks - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UPLQNUVmq3o) represent a much larger percentage of the left and democrats than they actually do.
id assume the idea that most conservatives or trump voters are blatantly racist is a mirror image of the fact that most of us know - that the violently PC anti free speech left the alt right gets so up in arms about is only a small, vocal percentage of liberals, dems or leftists.
If anyone hasn't seen it, the documentary "Get Me Roger Stone" is fascinating. Long time coming for this guy, who has been a fixture of GOP dirty politics going back to the Nixon years. The reason why he had to leave Bob Dole's campaign is a hoot. I think it might still be on Netflix.
Slack, nobody is denying that many Trump voters are racist, sexist, and homophobic. His most rabid fans are probably all three. He was just saying that not all Trump voters are racist, sexist, or homophobic and there are many different reasons why people voted for the guy. For whatever reason, there were actually some black people, gays, and Latinos (and a majority of white women) who actually voted for the clown.
True. My ex father in law was Mexican-American and he would bitch about blacks and even other Mexicans. I had to remind him that my wife and son were Latino and he needed to cut it out.
Lots of homophobic gays in the GOP too. But it just goes to show that the world is a complicated place and highlights the difficulty of trying to paint 60 million Americans with one broad stroke.
