"Biggest witch hunt in history" -- yeah, you got THAT right! 6 witches and counting! All in jail! More witches than at Salem! LOCK THEM UP! And the wickedest one upcoming!

Mueller already has the dirt on Trump...and Don Jr, Jared, Eric,......
Yeah? Where is it? Where is it? Mueller? Mueller? Mueller? ............
Stone is now the 34th person to be charged by Mueller as he investigates Russian interference in the 2016 election and possible collusion by the Trump campaign. Yet they don't have any crimes related to collusion. The FBI has endless resources, yet they used an unverified piece of evidence, the Steele dossier, to obtain a warrant to spy on Trump. The FBI is scrambling to find dirt on Trump and they keep coming up empty. They need to be reigned in, they are operating like police state thugs.

Looks like Trump will be working overtime with these pardons.

Stone will die in jail with Manafort.

Is that what the fascists on the liberal networks are telling you? I’m not a psychiatrist and he had a lot more to lose with Hillary and he gave her a name, but there are others he didn’t give a name, so I’m not a liberal and won’t speculate why he gives some people names and he doesn’t. I have enough money, I don’t need to work as a shrink. But if you want to think he’s scared, it’s a free world, you can think that way and others (including myself) do not. It’s still a free world.
And I have to think the same working with liberals everyday.
Ask Lois Lerner or in the words of Hillary, what difference does it make?
bass4funk
I already did and you are always welcome.
Jimizo
Bass, I’ve asked you many times for the names of these non-partisan historians who claimed the Bush 2 years were a success. You have never given me their names.
Just post one name. That’s all I’m asking.
lincolnman
Uh, you just proved my point - Trump gives nicknames to those he thinks aren't important - he's scared to death of Coulter - if he goes to war with her, even more of his base will desert - as you said, she is a "conservative icon"... Notice no nickname for Nancy either...he scared of her too...
More word salad...don't understand a thing here...
Let's see, Donnie already as a clown name - "Wimpy", now one for Stone; maybe "Queenie"?
Why did Trumpers shout "Lock Her Up" for two years, then suddenly become protectors of 5th amendment rights for every felon brought before Mueller?
More Hillary - this fixation is getting really creepy...
bass4funk
I can think of the entire Democrat comedic lineup that would put Dave Chappelle to shame.
Why do Liberals want to turn away from the truth? Oh, she’s a liberal, my bad...can’t have that!
Apprantly, he has it on Hillary as well, he just decided to walk past the dead bodies, move along, nothing to see, excuse the stench.
bass4funk
Yes, if you can show a mean tweet from Trump towards her I’ll concede. If Trump excoriated her, he really took to heart her insult, if not, then he doesn’t care.
Can you find it?
@Jim, as I said. He didn’t make the claim, except for the ones where I read them, I do also remember I had posted them, but as usual, you guys only care about liberal sources and historians, so it doesn’t matter and I don’t need to repost anything in order to appease you guys. If you don’t like or believe in it, doesn’t matter. Some believed Obama wrote his own books...
lincolnman
And I can't think of two funnier clowns; Trump and Stone...though Manafort with his ostrich sport coat is up there too...
Another anti-US Constitution Trumper...they just want to rip it up..guess they prefer Russia's constitution....
Mueller already has the dirt on Trump...and Don Jr, Jared, Eric,......
Treasonous actually...the Trump Crime Family...

Stone is going to turn Mueller’s show trial into a circus
It's been a circus for quite some time now.
How ironic that the guy who sold tee shirts with "Hillary for Prison 2016" on them is going to prison.
How ironic that the real criminal, Hillary, has yet to be indicted, sentenced and jailed.
Mueller is desperate to get dirt on Trump. Really despicable.
lincolnman
Very true - notice all the crooks that puff up and are full of false bluster crack like an egg once they get in the chair and are shown all the evidence the prosecutors have. Just witness tampering carries 20 years.
Stone's a pansy - he'll open up to Mueller and sing like a bird...
Donnie is wetting his pants...
Jimizo
You made a claim about the existence of non-partisan historians who saw the Bush 2 years as a success. I have been asking you politely for the names of these historians for quite a while but you haven’t given them to me. I like reading contrary opinions and I’m sure I’d enjoy their work.
Are you now saying you never made this claim?
lincolnman
Rationalization...Everything is black and white, Lib vs Con - until it isn't....
And no one cares what Coulter thinks? Come on, she's in your words "a conservative icon" - are you trying to convince us you and your fellow alt-righters don't fall on her every word? Too funny...
Bush? The only one saying anything about Bush is your fellow conservative icon Coulter - remember "Jeb"?
bass4funk
Thank you, that’s all I was talking about.
Kavanaugh didn’t get a big case yet. I never expected the GOP to get in bed with big government to overturn Obamacare even though that would have been an outstanding thing and No one cares what Coulter thinks, she’s says what she says and we move on. The President didn’t tweet, so....,but it’s Just like when Reid said, Obama talks well for a Black person, the Dems didn’t make a fuss about, keep moving along....
we were saying the same about Bush and Mueller, but you guys.....lol
lincolnman
He did in fact have a few successes, mostly in foreign policy - but those are minuscule compared with the serious crimes he committed. For someone who rails against the Deep State - Nixon was the Deep State - used every lever of government to go after his "enemies", who were just normal people doing their jobs. You should hate him.
And Kavaunugh will never vote with Liberals, and all Repubs will vote to repeal Obamacare, and Coulter would NEVER humiliate the President...
More Hillary fixation...she's been gone for two years....give it a rest....
bass4funk
Exactly. Both sides have them.
I never made claims about anything, I’m just saying, some people knock on Nixon, I get it, some hate on Trump, others on Hillary and Obama. It just depends on how you all put it into perspective.
Strangerland
Of course there are always a few crazies. But the overwhelming majority of people who are not trying to find ways to minimize how bad their leader will look when he gets taken down think Nixon was a disgrace.
Yeah, I've seen you make claims of the mythological non-partisan historians who speak positively of Bush's presidency. No one has ever seen such a thing, but we understand you claim they exist. Of course I believe you, I mean, you're a bastion of credibility. But it is weird how literally no one ever has been able to find a single historian that would support your claim.
bass4funk
Well, that’s your opinion, not everyone shares that opinion. Not everyone shares people’s views on Obama or Bush being bad, but many do.
bass4funk
I never said that. Unlike liberals, I do believe in the presumption of innocence before putting a noose around his neck.
Well, Cohen is different, Cohen has a slew of serious and fraudulent business crimes that were documented, not to mention his Clintonisque constant lying, so if Mueller comes out and says that Cohen is a habitual liar, that’s saying something about Cohen.
Strangerland
You know all the good things Nixon did?
Pretty much no one does. They don't care, because he was a disgrace, and pathetic.
Strangerland
What’s wrong with Nixon?
Hahahahahahahaha hahahahahahahahahah.
Other than being the most disgraced president ever?
bass4funk
What’s wrong with Nixon? Weren’t for him, the war in Nam would still be going and China would still be a third world rate country. Nixon made mistakes, but to undermine his successes that he had achieved is not dealing with reality.
Naw, Trump won’t get the boot, the Senate will never convict him.
I wish that for Hillary as well.
The Avenger
From Nixon to Trump, Stone went from really bad to rock bottom.
lincolnman
Very true - even Nixon and his cronies thought Stone was too sleazy and creepy to be around - now that says a lot...
smithinjapan
Says a lot about Republicans that they admire and defend criminals (Stone himself loves and admires Nixon so much even Nixon's Association tried to distance themselves from Stone).
I'm quite sure Trump will pardon him if the man is convicted and sentenced before Trump gets the boot, so I hope Stone is also charged with state laws. That'll wipe the smirk off his disgusting face.
Deadforgood
Let's see how quickly Trump dumps Stone. To dump, or to pardon? That's actually not the question, the question is "how much do the FBI actually know and how much can they find out?". So far, every pardon considered was exchanged for a "dump, do not collect your pardon and go straight to jail card".
Chip Star
This isn't how the justice system works. Defendants can change their not guilty pleas after they decide to cooperate. Just a slight amount of research helps to not be inaccurate.
Deadforgood
At least you agree with the general public that he is guilty. Learned well from Cohen, you have. He doesn't need to say anything, the evidence shows he is guilty, and he will be sentenced.
bass4funk
If he did, he would plea guilty, that doesn’t look like it’s going to happen. Well, so much for that.
bass4funk
You don’t know that.
I doubt it.
SuperLib
If he turns on Trump he will be branded a liar by Trump fans who will simultaneously say the FBI is making him tell stories.
If he doesn't turn on Trump then he will get sentenced for his crimes and Trump fans will talk about how much of a travesty it is and that he should be pardoned.
But it's not like his actual crimes will change.
Deadforgood
Isn't that what you said about Cohen, Flynn, Manafort, etc etc etc. You are just trolling yourself here now.
lincolnman
Very true - he can join Flynn and all the rest of the crazies - they can all be jailed in the wing of the Federal Pen named "What was to be called the Hillary Lock Her Up Ward but is now called "Trump Tower West"...
But really, is there anyone in Washington creepier than this guy Stone? If he got in an elevator with me, I'd step out - talk about a freak.
And he's best pals with Wimpy - that sure says a lot...
PTownsend
You're probably right. Stone's a lifelong clown (more Chucky than Bozo) who's used political theater among other slimy tactics to take attention away from the actions of the corrupt wealthy class members in the US and 'abroad', those who've paid him well to do just that. He's another fixer ala Manafort and Cohen, i.e. pond scum at the lowest layers alongside paid trolls.
I have to think he'll use more of his dirty tricks to try to upset what Mueller etal are doing. Maybe he'll show his Nixon tattoo. https://www.snopes.com/fact-check/roger-stone-nixon-tattoo/
Question: if a tattoo is on the upper back, is it still considered to be a tramp stamp?
Bintaro
Just a matter of time until they turn on each other.
Trump will soon say that Roger Stone had almost nothing to do with his campaign.
Stone will soon see what the FBI has against him and realize he's going to spend the rest of his life in prison.
He'll talk.
CrazyJoe
How ironic that the guy who sold tee shirts with "Hillary for Prison 2016" on them is going to prison.
I just hope it's for the rest of his natural life.
SuperLib
Enjoy your jail cell.
Strangerland
Heh, even after being continuously wrong about Mueller's investigation, you people are still trying to pretend you have a clue about how it's going to go.
The delusion continues...
Chip Star
We hear this every time Mueller serves another dose of justice on the criminals Trump has surrounded himself with. Then, when that person begins to cooperate, that person magically goes from the best person in the world to the worst person according to Trumpophiles.
PTownsend
Says a lot about Trump and the Republicans.
Says a lot about Trump and the Republicans.
Now why would Russia want to help Trump and the Republicans.
cla68
Stone is going to turn Mueller’s show trial into a circus and make the whole investigation look like a farce.
