A Washington Post piece that reruns WHAT Roger Stone did for Donald Trump to help him get his current job by defeating Hillary Clinton with a campaign to tarnish her email usage as Sec of State….
And how Donald Trump is PUBLICLY working to reward Stone by getting his jail time reduced or even not applied…
Though there has been people Agas at Trump’s actions?
It IS how he works…
Fuck the law….
Loyality to him supersedes it…
And AG Bill Barr is an enabler ….
This time in trying to hurt Joe Biden’s campaign…
(Trump complained about Bill Clinton and AG Lynch …and AG Sessions and Hillary Clinton)
And Trump does NOT care who knows it….
“How can the attorney general be involved in this case or tell the FBI what to do?” Trump asked during a rally on Oct. 30. [2016] “When the attorney general violated sanctity of law by secretly meeting with Bill Clinton, the husband of the possible target of the investigation and a possible target himself, in an airplane on the tarmac in Arizona.
“Because of this highly inappropriate meeting at best,” Trump said, “the attorney general took herself essentially out of the case and put Director [James B.] Comey in charge of making decisions.” Comey, then FBI director, was, at that moment, in Trump’s good graces, having announced a few days prior that the investigation of Clinton’s email server was being reconsidered in light of new evidence. That announcement amounted to nothing legally, but probably helped Trump win the election.
Remarkably, Trump continued to allege that Clinton had acted inappropriately, even into his own administration. He had repeatedly criticized his first attorney general, Jeff Sessions, for not pressing harder on investigations of Trump’s political enemies, including the Clintons. He had privately demanded an attorney general who would work for him, not for the American public, demands revealed in tweets such as this:
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrumpAttorney General Jeff Sessions has taken a VERY weak position on Hillary Clinton crimes (where are E-mails & DNC server) & Intel leakers!
Less than a month prior, Trump had tweeted this.
Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrumpA.G. Lynch made law enforcement decisions for political purposes…gave Hillary Clinton a free pass and protection. Totally illegal!
There is, by now, no question that Trump has tried to influence his own attorneys general to take actions aimed at benefiting himself or his allies. He has done so publicly. There is no evidence that similar pressure was directly applied by Bill Clinton in July 2016 and, even if it had been, Lynch quickly acted to eliminate questions of improper influence.
Three days before the 2016 election, Trump nonetheless called the tarmac meeting a “disgrace.” It was part of an extended riff based on revelations from WikiLeaks, material published by the organization after having received it from Russian hackers. The extent to which Trump’s campaign was aware of what WikiLeaks had planned is unknown, in part because Stone, who bragged about his contacts with the organization, lied and covered up what he knew.
The thanks Stone got? Trump just pressured his attorney general to go easy on him….
Note…
Bernie Sanders maybe the media flavour of the week right now…
But it would appear Trump & Co. are still more afraid of Joe Biden?
Stone /Barr /DOJ Story leads the evening cable news channels ….
Not MH….
