spidermike007 Posted February 16, 2020 Share Posted February 16, 2020 Trump appears to be attempting to "Putinize" the justice system. At least he is trying. Might be a bit harder for him, as the US at least appears to have higher safeguards, and Trump lacks the sophistication or intelligence of Putin. But, no doubt there is some funny business going on. Good on Barr for finally showing us he possesses a tiny bit of manhood. Although one does suspect how sincere he was, and whether or not it was a coordinate effort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stone’s lawyers knew that she was generally familiar with Stone, they knew she ran for Congress, they specifically asked about political bias, and then refused to seek her removal. https://frenchpress.thedispatch.com/p/is-there-a-stone-jury-scandal-not According to the author, there could possibly be an issue only if she hid facts that would have provided a valid basis to challenge her presence on the jury. Very interesting. Looks like Stone got a fair trial. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yet It's the Trumpers who always complain that the people who are convicted should not be convicted, and vice-versa.

Your assertions about who lied are questionable. But it wasn't just about Stone lying, was it? He also threatened another witness. That's a far more serious crime. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A plausible explanation is the defense team withheld objecting to this particular jury member with the intention to make post trial objections in the expectation that the verdict was going to be a conviction. The evidence against Stone was solid, his legal team would surely understand that a conviction was a near certainty, setting up grounds for a post trial objection is a logical insurance strategy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair, are you suggesting that Trump supporters also cannot serve on the jury?

And the name of that reporter is.... ??? Add to your statement "not a narrative dictated by The Leader and his cronies" and I'm with you. Quote Ah yes, there is the leftists idea of justice and fairness. "he deserves it" Being against an authoritarian takeover of the gov't does not make one a leftist, but I could see how one who favors being submissive to iron-heel rule would see it that way. You're not one of those, are you? As ol' Mitch McC (aka the second-rank Moscow puppet in DC) would probably put it "I'm against justice and fairness as it would favor the Democrats." Actually, he did say rules against foreign interference would favor Democrats -- please explain that one, Mitch. The Clown of the Week Award is a tie between Lamar Alexander and Susan Collins for both saying publicly that DT has learned his lesson from the impeachment experience and will now behave himself. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sujo Posted February 17, 2020 Share Posted February 17, 2020 Basically Barr got wind of over a thousand prosecutors, both dems and repubs about to give him a huge vote of no confidence. The whitehouse was told before the interview what he was going to say, hence this is the first instance of trump not going crazy when someone says anything against him. So all barr is doing is telling trump that he needs to get the rank and file subdued. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
