Roger Stone Posts and Deletes Photo of Judge With Crosshairs

Donald Trump has not shown one ounce of sympathy for his criminal co-conspirators that have been thrown in jail. NOT ONE. There will be no pardons, b/c they have been shown to have helped and aided the Mueller Investigation.
Id bet a paycheck that he tries to throw some pardons at people as hes leaving the whitehouse or after meuller finishes up.

Ungodly uncivilized democrats make offenders of their enemies while promoting their own wicked selves and their evil anti-American agenda to the damage of the whole nation.

2005 called, they want their evangelical Christians back.

I don't see it happening. Trump hasn't even tweeted about Roger Stone's little doggos being traumatized, oh wait...Maybe that's why he's been talking about how it would look if he had a dog hehe.
 
I suppose he could have one-upped himself by simply lighting himself on fire at arraignment, but still. He must've gotten away with far too much already.

It's one of those cliche moments. Are they mad geniuses or just mad?

Either the buffoonery of Manafort, Stone, and Team Trump, will pull of a surprise second victory in surviving all of this and coming out clean, or they will be go down in figurative flames. I feel with liberal application of full pardons, they can all come out smelling like roses, and the joke is on the nation and our obviously stupid presidential powers.
 
The article claim is false. That is not a cross hair symbol. But, then, the MSM and press lie all the time - and predictably many leftwing groupies then all start chanting that lie.

Nothing new about never-Trump federal judges ordering that Defendants are prohibited from defending themselves and their reputation publicly, threatening imprisonment and even solitary confinement - although all of the press and media are free to attack Stone all they want to.

We have witnessed the Mueller team become the true police state for which no defense is even allowed. Defendants are denied bond and imprisoned in solitary despite having for criminal record nor convicted of anything for the offense trying to line up defense witnesses. Defendants are imprisoned if they try to publicly defend their reputation. At the same time, team Mueller can harass and threaten any witnesses, prompt and train any witnesses, and anyone may publicly attack the Defendant's reputation.

Yes, it is a crosshairs, not matter how much you pretend otherwise. Stone has been doing things like this for decades. Nothing he does is unplanned.

Utterly irrelevant to the matter at hand and unmoored from reality.

"Police state"? I suggest you look that term up before trying to use it.

Stone's lawyer apologized and removed the crosshairs. Stone himself apologized profusely if insincerely. The two of 'em know something was wrong in what Stone did and seriously wrong. Severely wrong. Now we can see the wrong.

Dan Murphy on Twitter: "First prior use of the image I find is at "cosmiconvergence dot org," which is a site filled with anti-Semitic New World Order conspiracies (with a side of Mayan calendar end-times crazy).… https://t.co/URmog1XugN"

Posting an image of the judge in your case with this symbol -- or any symbol like it -- is a thing even mafia doesn't do, mainly because they're too practical and real world about the meaning, consequence and the terrible message it sends about 'em to the respectable general public and the legal community. The reports are in fact Stone had the symbol on the judge then moved it to the side as we see it here.

(It may be necessary to click to view the image or to click on the link, given the image was removed but screenshots exist.)

First prior use of the image is noted as being at "cosmiconvergence dot org," which is a site filled with anti-Semitic New World Order conspiracies to include a Mayan calendar of end-times lunacy.

We recall also what happened to congresswoman Gabby Giffords when Sarah Palin put out a flyer with Giffords likeness in crosshairs. Giffords was shot by a lunatic while she was meeting with constituents. She recovered but only in part and with the dedication of her astronaut husband.

Your post moreover offers no alternative account of what the symbol might otherwise be. The symbol is what it is and that's all there is to it. And you are what you are and that's all there is to that too. That is, a Trumpolini Fanboy.
 
2005 called, they want their evangelical Christians back.

2005? A banner year for high flying democrats on the economic train to the 2008 collapse of Wall Street. It was in 2005 that Republicans, led by Sen. McCain, tried to rein in Fannie and Freddie but to no avail. Frank and Dodd and a host of democrats resisted, likely because so many of them had received such large cash gifts from the troubled GSEs, including the 4 top recipients John Kerry, Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Chris Dodd. Republicans and fiscal conservatives failed to prevail over Frank and his cadre of corrupt democrats, and so Wall Street collapsed in 2008 as a result.

To read Frank's later admission of fault and apology for being wrong in the 2005 blockage of Congressional efforts to rein in the GSEs, read Stance on Fannie and Freddie dogs Frank Frank haunted by stance on Fannie, Freddie - The Boston Globe

Frank gave up politics in 2012. He could see the handwriting on the wall.
 
This is typical conduct we see around TRump.

We have never had a president who was so wrapped in slime balls.

The judge should send to straight to jail for this, very cool.

I am sure that this will influence the final sentence if he's found guilty, or pleads guilty.
 
I hope you're right. But read back on Iran Contra...people that defend the higher-ups with lies and obstruction, were recommended for pardon, and pardoned.
I'm not kidding, Barr was the attorney that made that recommendation to pardon.

Fast forward to GWB and Scooter Libby. Not pardoned (Cheney thought that was a mistake not to pardon), but sentence commuted. For lying/obstructing for the higher-ups.

And lookie here, Barr just became the Attorney General.

Granted, Manafort is guilty if FAR more crimes, he'd be pardoning him despite most of his sentence being about crimes unrelated to "behaving like a criminal to further Republican efforts".
Stone is easier...a long time friend of Trump, a student of the Nixon era (who was another Republican pardoned immediately).

I don't know, history is filled with criminal ass-**** Republicans and their underlings committing crimes to defend them, and then pardoning them down the line. I don't have a lot of hope that will change with Trump.

One thing that a pardon would do, and that is remove the ability to plead the fifth under questioning. Do you think Trump really would want that?

why not?
The pardon can also be used for a presumptive case, such as when President Gerald Ford pardoned Nixon over any possible crimes regarding the Watergate scandal.[4]

If its contempt of court as related to refusing to answer questions about the Mueller investigation, pardon covers that too.

Who needs the 5th when you've got a broad pardon for future crimes related to the case, including refusing to testify? Which people pardoned were later successful questioned piercing their 5th amendment rights? I haven't heard of this being successful, and pardons can cover that too. I *have* seen historically, Republicans use pardons to good effect for people who "take one for the team".

Good point maybe that is why he is not passing out pardons like Tootsie rolls on Halloween...
 
The Judge will be forced to smack Stone more than once as he will not give up this nonsense until she takes his toys away from him. His whole life has been nonsense and it is the basis for his self-importance. She will likely take away a few more on Thursday which won't be enough. She will have to take away more again and that won't be enough. Finally she will have to strip him clean of his toys.
