You all know I've been critical of Roger Stone.

Because he did lie to federal agents.

But we **all** know those agents would NEVER have been interviewing him about some dumb shit he said in media interviews if he wasn't tied to Trump. https://twitter.com/AnthemRespect/status/1277312266279333889?s=20
This is how insidious the mainstream media is.

People **still think** at this late date Stone was convicted of "Russian collusion", activity related to the "hacked emails", his attempting to facilitate the hacking & the publication of the stolen DNC emails w. Trump campaign.
BULLSHIT.

BULLSHIT BULLSHIT BULLSHIT.

Roger Stone was convicted for PERJURY under oath, repeating false claims he'd made in media interviews to federal agents that he had access into WikiLeaks & contacts he didn't really have.
Roger Stone was **JUST BEING ROGER STONE**.

A irrepressible attention whore trying to con media people into thinking he was a BIG-SHOT PLAYER in this by bragging about his efforts to facilitate the publication of the emails & get them to the Trump campaign.
But Stone's incredibly STUPID bragging to the media about his the fake inside access at WikiLeaks that he didn't really have put him on the Mueller Special Counsel's radar screen as a TARGET.

And desperate for a scalp...ANY SCALP...they went after him.
So his 1st mistake was to CALL ATTENTION TO HIMSELF by making false claims in media interviews because he's an aging attention whore trying to stay relevant.

His second mistake was not INSTANTLY FESSING UP once they had him under oath. "OK I made it all up. Sorry."
As you have learned from recent disclosures in the Flynn case, the Special Counsel is utterly corrupt and ruthless.

They nailed him process perjury and then tried to ADD years more to his sentence by taking a joke "threat" he sent to someone as if it were a real threat.
So Hell yes, Trump should pardon Roger Stone.

What he did was bad, but not 5 or 6 or 7 years or whatever it is bad. He has no criminal record. He should have gotten a week at worst, or probation.
The Mueller prosecutors tried to vastly overcharge this man, while actually having the balls to try to sandbag AG Barr on this, reporting to him they'd ask for a conventional sentence and then filing for something FAR more severe.

Remember, all 4 resigned when Barr acted.
You can bet that if Barr sent USA EDMO into the DC USA's office to search out the truth in the Flynn case....

and given how the Mueller team tried to sandbag him before storming out the door...

I'm pretty sure Barr has somebody reviewing THIS case also.
