I haven’t had a chance to read up in depth on it, but I understand the prosecution did not recommend that he be remanded to custody. That surprised me.
Definitely a two-tier system. I have a hard time imagining other defendants getting away with what he just got away with and still being free.
Makes me wonder if the prosecution has an interest in Stone remaining free for some reason. Letting Manafort roam the countryside for a while just earned Manafort some extra charges.
Yup. That also explains Tucker Carlson’s blowup on his show that never got aired. There’s nothing rich entitled gasbags spinning a yarn to the hoi polloi hate more than someone pointing out the obvious, that they’re rich, entitled gasbags spinning a yarn to the hoi polloi.
I haven’t read the ruling. Been traveling. Just caught snippets about him being restricted from any public discussion. Including social media. That tells me he can have others fundraiser on his behalf but he is out of the grifting game personally until after the trial concludes and he is sent to prison for the rest of his natural born life.
Prosecutors didn’t pursue it. Kind of like with Manafort initially. I’m suspecting they are giving him a shovel. Let him dig his own grave, and perhaps he will accidentally uncover a few skeletons on his way down.
