The grueling questioning came as part of a case unrelated to the high profile D.C. trial: A slew of civil libel lawsuits filed by conservative lawyer Larry Klayman against Stone and his associates. Klayman […]
What a day it was in the hallowed and placid halls of the 156-year-old U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia, where U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson attempted to elicit key information from several jurors in a high-profile case after the defendant was already convicted and sentenced. Judge Jackson’s grilling of jurors on the Roger Stone case comes amid claims from the recently-convicted felon that the […]
Alex Wong/Getty Images During a closed Tuesday hearing on Roger Stone’s request for a new trial, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson called out Fox News’s Tucker Carlson, stating, “Any attempts to invade the privacy of the jurors or to harass or intimidate them is completely antithetical to our system of justice.” Jackson is referring to Carlson’s attacks of Tomeka Hart, who served as the foreperson on the jury that convicted […]

Convicted felon and former Trump campaign surrogate Roger Stone didn’t get his way Sunday. He wanted the presiding judge in his criminal case to step down as he pursued a retrial. She refused and was pretty pointed about it. “At bottom, given the absence of any factual or legal support for the motion for disqualification, the pleading appears to be nothing more than an attempt to use the […]
Marc Short, chief of staff to Vice President Mike Pence, defended President Donald Trump’s comments about hoping to see Roger Stone get exonerated on Fox News Sunday.

Convicted felon Roger Stone wants a new trial and he wants a different judge to oversee it. On late Friday night, Stone’s attorneys filed a motion to disqualify U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson in light of harsh comments she made against President Donald Trump‘s longtime friend and political confidant during his sentencing hearing earlier this week. “The issue at hand arises from the Defendant’s pending […]
Julian Assange’s extradition to the US would sound a death knell for both investigative journalism and the rule of law, Pink Floyd co-founder Roger Waters told RT ahead a march organized in support of the WikiLeaks publisher.

“The truth still exists; the truth still matters,” Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Thursday at the sentencing of the president’s favorite dirty trickster, Roger Stone. It may have seemed like an obvious statement, but as Trumpworld continues its assault on the rule of law, things like the truth mattering seem slightly obscured by the current political climate of relentless lying. Judge ABJ continued, “Roger Stone’s insistence […]
Following the 40 month sentence given to Roger Stone Thursday morning, Lou Dobbs went off on the Department of Justice prosecutors who brought the case — accusing them of thinking they would be “serving in the Soviet Union.” During an interview with Robert Ray — a member of President Donald Trump’s legal team — Dobbs buried the prosecutors in the case, and called out the fact […]

Mediaite founder and ABC News chief legal analyst Dan Abrams said on Thursday that if President Donald Trump decides to pardon his former adviser Roger Stone following his sentencing of 40 months in prison, it will be seen as “a rebuke of his own Justice Department.” “This is exactly the sort of sentence that one would have expected if you followed the case closely,” said Abrams. […]

Fox News Senior Judiciary Analyst Andrew Napolitano made plain that he feels that President Donald Trump may very well pardon Roger Stone, on the very day that the President’s friend and former advisor is to be sentenced on seven counts against him.

US President Donald Trump has surprised everyone with a series of pardons that – so far – do not include any of his aides caught up in ‘Russiagate’ investigations, although his tweets suggest this too might be coming. First on the list was former San Francisco 49s NFL franchise owner Edward DeBartolo Jr, who pleaded guilty in 1998 to failing to report a felony, after he […]
