Any rank and file citizen would be in jail already. But I'm ok with them getting the evidence and assuring that the trial happens flawlessly. Of course this all happened in 2020, so the principle of 'justice delayed, is justice denied', certainly comes to mind.
You're forgetting the fact that Trump has made it clear that he is not above pardoning his allies. Stone can rest assured that whatever jail he ends up in, if Trump is re-elected he is getting another pardon.
If trump hadn't pardoned him already, he'd just now be getting out of jail...
I prefer "The wheels of justice turn slowly, but grind exceedingly fine"
It's keeping me sane
Lock this traitorous motherfucker up now!
Why he is even allowed work in government/politics after the Nixon incident is a huge mystery to me.
Because Trump brought him back from the fringes and keep pardoning him whenever Stone gets in trouble. The only reason this is making the news is because Stone doesn't have friends in high places anymore.
I would love to see consequences happen, but we seem determined to slow walk ourselves into a fascist dictatorship by never letting anybody get punished for obviously fascist things.
It's American tradition. FDR cut a deal with American fascists in the 1930s. And we're still suffering for it today. And when I say American fascists, I of course mean Republicans.
When are these jackholes gonna start screaming “deep fakes” when shit like this is released? I feel like it has to be on the horizon if it hasn’t happened yet.
He already did. Yet it's entirely within Stone's character to say and do this.
What actually surprises me is that the right hasn't already been releasing a barrage of easily-debunked deep fakes just to undermine the public confidence in evidence and make it easier to claim a real recording is fake.
Stone has denied making the comments about Zelinsky, Swalwell, or Nadler and said the audio had been made with artificial intelligence.
The FBI is Trump Central, I hope the Capitol Police aren't relying on them too much.
I'm going to buy the bar a round of drinks the day he dies
police just now discover roger stone’s wealth.
