Judge was clever IMHO. He's guilty and she castigated him in her summing up. But she's given him a fair sentence. If she'd given him 7-9 Trump could have claimed it was excessive and pardoned him. He'll probably pardon him anyway in January but now his pardon will look self serving and thoroughly undeserved, which it is.

Some interesting remarks from Judge Jackson regarding the Stone sentence. It seems likely not to be a coincidence that she said ‘truth matters’ (Adam Schiff) and “There was nothing unfair, phoney or disgraceful about the investigation or the prosecution,” citing words that trump has used.

I think Stone can consider himself quite fortunate to have received this sentence. He really, really baited the judge. What kind of nutter posts photos of their trial judge in crosshairs?

It will be very interesting to see if trump now pardons Stone. If he does so, it will be a breathtaking act of corruption, even by trump’s standards.

Trump named Richard Grenell as acting Director of National Intelligence.

This is the man who was implicated in a scheme to help oligarch Firtash escape US justice. He is wanted on multiple felony corruption and bribery charges.

DOJ prosecutors say Firtash is an "upper-echelon associate" of Russian Organized Crime.

Dana Rohrabacher confirms to Yahoo that during a meeting at the Ecuadorian Embassy in August 2017, he told Julian Assange he'd get Trump to give him a pardon if he turned over info proving the Russians hadn't been the source of DNC emails published by WikiLeaks

Speaker Pelosi: "Sadly, President Trump has once again put his political interests ahead of America's national security interests by appointing an Acting Director of National Intelligence whose sole qualification is his absolute loyalty to the President."

According to the Washington Post

A senior U.S. intelligence official told lawmakers last week that Russia wants to see Trump reelected, viewing his administration as more favorable to the Kremlin's interests, according to people who were briefed on the comments.

After learning of that analysis, which was provided to House lawmakers in a classified hearing, Trump grew angry at his acting director of national intelligence, Joseph Maguire, in the Oval Office, seeing Maguire and his staff as disloyal for speaking to Congress about Russia’s perceived preference. The intelligence official’s analysis and Trump’s furious response ­ruined Maguire’s chances of becoming the permanent intelligence chief, according to people familiar with the matter who, like others, spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss a sensitive matter.

Trump erroneously believed that Pierson had given the assessment exclusively to Rep. Adam B. Schiff (D-Calif.), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee.

Trump learned about Pierson’s remarks from Rep. Devin Nunes (Calif.), the committee’s ranking Republican and a staunch Trump ally


That all fits the profile. How many people now have been sacked/replaced because someone has told trump they aren't loyal to him

Kash Patel has been promoted to a senior adviser for Grenell. He is a former top National Security Council official who played a key role in directing Republicans on how to discredit the trump/Russia investigation.

Good.

It seems there's a very easy answer to Warren's questions -

These are routine NDAs that I utilise on all of my staff of a certain level.

Now, why didn't he say that? Answers on a postcard

[Byker28i]

He could point out that trump has issued personal NDA's to all white House Staff that they aren't allowed to discuss trump

I can only assume he prefers 'Gone With the Wind' because 'Birth of a Nation' has title cards instead of sound dialogue.

Trump is certainly laying the foundations to pardon Stone.



And then pinning this Tucker video https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1230384...

Claiming Stone has been completing stitched up and has to be pardon otherwise its a huge injustice to all Americans.

Trump keeps claiming Comey etc are guilty of crimes others are being prosecuted for, he literally owns the Justice Dept. so why doesn't he launch investigations and prosecute based on the evidence found?

Because trump is a whining, worthless, lying turd?

Most likely.

He's probably been told he won't secure a conviction against Comey etc so to just castigate them publicly as that doesn't require the need to actually prove any of the allegations. His base will love / believe it and away he goes.

Of course, Comey could sue for libel/defamation

It's been noted by many many people that he referenced "Gone with The Wind" - a film released in 1939 and which was reviewed at the time as glorifying slavery and the Civil War.
