The foremost ratf*cking guttersnipe of GOP politics Roger Stone will be the topic of conversation today when the House Judiciary Committee convenes to hear testimony from Justice Department officials who have come forward to accuse corrupt Trump consigliere William "Low" Barr of political interference in Stone's case. Stone's original sentence recommendation was seven to nine years, but Barr intervened on behalf of Stone's friend, con man and sociopath Donald "Individual 1" Trump, and recommended a sentence of only 40 months.
The latest outrage is news that Barr's team is not opposing Stone's request to delay his incarceration from June 30 to September 3, while he appeals his conviction from last November for lying and witness intimidation in the investigation of the Russiagate scandal by Congress. Stone was a major link between Trump's campaign and WikiLeaks, which was a cut-out for the Russian military intelligence operation to influence the 2016 election in favor of Trump.
Stone's lawyers have requested the delay on the basis of the coronavirus outbreak in prison facilities and Stone's age, which is richly ironic given his cult leader's dismissal of the virus as a form of the "flu."
