Minutes after news broke of the verdict in Stone’s trial, Trump took to Twitter to weigh in on what he called a “double standard.” Trump’s criticism of the verdict could be seen as a step toward a potential pardon for Stone.
….A double standard like never seen before in the history of our Country?
— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) November 15, 2019
Stone was indicted in January by the Washington, D.C. grand jury that special counsel Robert Mueller empaneled for the Russia probe that investigated meddling in the 2016 election.
Prosecutors in Stone’s trial — which lasted a little more than a week, with the jury speding less than two days deliberating — put forward emails and texts that they argued is evidence for how Stone lied to the House Intelligence Committee about having Wikileaks-related communications that he didn’t turn over to Congress.
Seems like there’s a wholellotta snowflakery going on right now at 1600 Penn.
We’re rapidly approaching the singularity that anyone who was ever within 50’ of the orange buffoon is gonna need a pardon.
Add another article of impeachment.
When Trump goes to jail, can we have Stormy and Ivana and all the other women smack him with rolled up magazines every day?
“So they now convict Roger Stone of lying and want to jail him for many years to come.”
Just a reminder, Dickhead …
“They” are Assistant U.S. Attorneys in your administration, a properly impaneled Grand Jury under the Constitution and laws of the United States, and a properly qualified and selected trial jury similarly impaneled and serving under the Constitution and laws of the United States.
But I suppose, to you, they are all “enemies of the state.”
