    It was for lying under oath in the Paula Jones trial deposition that got him, not the Monica BJ.

    I bet he goes upstate with Cohen for a couple years with Cohen. Maybe they will end up playing Spades together.

    If stone gets convicted which I doubt, and it doesn't get overturned on appeal for obvious prosecutorial misconduct, we will sorry about that then

    I predict that Stone will be convicted and his appeals will fail. He is obviously counting on a pardon which he will not get until after the election.

    Well, if Muthah Jones says so, it must be true.

    The walls are still closing in.

    Only if Stone bought a juror or two Capone/Gotti style. Otherwise he’s toast.

    Stone is as guilty as sin but he knows he will get pardoned as long as he remains silent regarding what he told Individual 1 about Wikileaks' plans to disseminate the hacked material the Russians gave them.

    Interesting that DOJ (Barr’s DOJ) is going to bring superseding indictments
    ( on Russians) because the Russian interference in 2016 was deeper than believed. It undercuts Trumps’s Ukraine conspiracy: bad timing for the President.

    I was more confident Stone was going down a week ago but think he’ll skate on a few—not all—of the charges.

    What Roger Stone's trial revealed about Donald Trump and WikiLeaks
    https://www.politico.com/news/2019/11/12/roger-stone-trial-donald-trump-wikileaks-070368

    Despite the profane Stone texts and caustic friendships that have dominated chatter about the case, the Republican provocateur’s court battle will likely be remembered for something far different: It revealed that Donald Trump’s 2016 campaign aides knew more about WikiLeaks’ plans than they have let on, and the president may have later misled Robert Mueller about it.

    House is investigating whether Trump lied to Mueller, its general counsel told a federal appeals court
    https://www.washingtonpost.com/loca...97aa5c-0173-11ea-8bab-0fc209e065a8_story.html

    The statement came during arguments over Congress’s request to have secret grand jury evidence from the Mueller report released urgently for its impeachment inquiry.

    The request followed closely on the heels of Friday’s conviction of longtime Trump friend Roger Stone. Testimony and evidence at his trial appeared to cast doubt on written replies from Trump to Mueller about the president’s knowledge about attempts by his 2016 campaign to learn more about the release of hacked Democratic emails by the anti-secrecy group WikiLeaks.
