    Apparently, he cribbed the image from Russian sites.

    Earlier today, the judge ordered Stone to a hearing on Thursday to explain why he shouldn't be sent back to jail for violating the gag order. :lol:

    At least you guys seem to be finally coming to terms with reality - that there's probably not going to be the promised pot of gold at the end of the rainbow.

    A few of the saddest cases will struggle with that reality, and change their pov to insist the real Trump misconduct was somehow fixed or covered up.

    Only frightened by the ones whose names I couldn't remember. Oh, and the one who tried to stab me. To be honest though, I had it coming.

    NYTs has a bomb shell report about President Trump and then acting attorney general discussing and conspiring about how best to obstruct justice at various state pevel criminal invedtigations of Trump and his various criminal organizations. Whitaker lied to congress about this and is almost certainly guilty of both perjury and lying to congress.

    How Trump supporters can continue to deny Trump's obvious guilt in the face of him acting completely guilty on a daily basis for years straight.

    Maybe, but maybe not, there have been so many false claims about when the report will be released. We shall see. We shall also see how much Trump tries to hide or censor.

    One of the legal podcasts I listen to gave a detailed breakdown of the fine print in the document creating the special counsel. The wording of it is such that it'll be almost impossible for the unredacted version of the final report to be buried. It may not end up being released through official channels, but so many Democrats will have access to the report that if there's anything juicy in it, the odds of it not getting released are as near as nothing as to make no odds. As for when Mueller's finished, I'm not going to believe he's done until he says he's done.

    I hope so but Trumpers have beenclaiming the DoJ, which Trump has installed a crony in, can censor and/or rewrite what ever they want and the Trumpers have made it clear that is what they intend to do.

    ^And Mueller will remain silent about this supposed cover up because … why? He's gonna go back to being a bad guy?

    And did you just imply that Barr is a Trump "crony?" Did you mean on earth? The one we live on?

    Meanwhile, on the real earth:
    So Clapper helped Putin unwittingly, by claiming Trump was a witting or unwitting asset of Putin. Sowing discontent through unsubstantiated and crazy "theories" to what effect?: to help Putin achieve his goals. Clapper's such a tool; of Putin (unwittingly); and just in general. Witless.

    That's fucked up James.

    Barr actually is best friends with Mueller, unlike James Comey. I think their wives are in the same Bible study group.

    We now know Whitaker conspired with Trump to influence District of New York investigations illegally and then lied about it to congress so no sane person should trust Barr as well as Trump now has a clearly defined pattern of criminal misconduct wrt these investigations.

    Call me crazy, but I think we can trust this man. I believed him when he said he was too old and didn't have enough of a political future to worry about kissing Trump's ass. I don't think he would let any president get away with obstructing legal processes.

    one of two things are true:

    1. the report is wrong

    2. Barr carried out Trump's desire to force-close the investigation which would beg for further investigation in every other jurisdiction.

    There are too many balls still in the air (Gates, Stone, Corsi etc) to wrap this up and file a report in a week.

    Mueller can file his evidence whenever he wants. The real issue is what it going to come of it for trump.

    In other news Roger Stone has a tattoo of Richard Nixon on his back. Marvel cannot write villains this good.

    So about that Instagram post that got Roger Stone in trouble ...

    This is what he posted:

    Screenshot 2019-02-21 at 9.45.31 PM.png

    He later said in court that he didn't see the image behind the judge's head as crosshairs, but rather as a Celtic cross:

    https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-47326451
    https://www.vox.com/2019/2/21/18234940/roger-stone-instagram-judge-jackson

    Buuuuut ...

    This is a traditional Celtic cross:

    celtic cross.jpg

    It's a standard Christian cross with a circle around the vertex.

    But the image in question actually looked like this:

    celtic-cross-1.jpg

    This version of the cross was adopted by Norwegian Nazis in the 1930s and '40s, and then after the war by a variety of white supremacist groups. It is, among other places, the centerpiece of Stormfront's logo:

    stormfront-1.jpg

    Roger Stone's defense is literally "I didn't think of it as crosshairs, I thought it was a neo-Nazi symbol."

    Stop being stupid. It is a crosshair. Why do you have to ignorantly project your Nazi fantasies on everything? Just be happy the dirtbag got gagged.

    I swear your obsession is like a study in mental illness.

    A quick search of the archives will show you that, outside of quoting other people's posts or describing the contents of our Google search referral logs, I've mentioned Nazis maybe three or four times in the last five years.
