It is not "corroborated yet" if Barr knew what his own prosecutors were going to submit for recommendations? That is a queer statement.I did not answer because its not corroborated yet.
It is nonsense.If you could quit trying to jump down my throat and read you would already have my answer.
Again, this is such a queer idea....that DoJ prosecutors would be communicating something different to the judge....from their own bosses. It is funny to think that this team somehow went "rogue". Nonsense. Any more than the team prosecuting Flynn went rogue.....which is why his sentencing was suddenly reversed. Both teams were out of control.....according to the cult.A timeline of the extraordinary turn of events in the Roger Stone case - ABC News
The question is did the prosecutors turn over something different to the DoJ than what they presented to the judge. If that remains uncorroborated, its not true.

Tuesday evening A senior DOJ official tells reporters that they find the withdrawals of the prosecutors "surprising," but said the filing yesterday was "inconsistent with what we were told' the government would be recommending for Stone. The official said "it does" appear the withdrawals of the prosecutors, including at least one who resigned from DOJ, was done in protest of the department's reversal -- but the official declined to speak to the specifics of their circumstances.
Uh, according to the source you keep posting all over the place, the spox has already thrown the prosecutors under the bus: "inconsistent with what we were told"....ie, they went rogue.....which is an insane argument..."we didn't know the prosecutors were going to do that, just like with Flynn"The information isn't corroborated and the only way it will be is if the DoJ releases the information relayed to the DoJ and it proves different from that offered to the judge.

In cult land, deep state is real!
Ah, is that who we are talking about.....federal prosecutors who work for the DoJ....are just "bureaucrats"......and these hoorible peeple were concetrated within the Stone, Flynn and Cohen prosecution teams! Deep state! What cultish nonsense.In bull**** land bureaucrats have never acted to undermine our current President...ever.
The truth is somewhere in-between and both know it.
Exactly what is the usual court oath administered? Go ahead and say it. She didn't tell the whole truth.
"Do you and each of you solemnly swear that you will well and truly try and a true deliverance make between the United States and Roger Stone, the defendant at the bar, and a true verdict render according to the evidence, so help you God?"Exactly what is the usual court oath administered?

If you visit MSNBC, you are lying to yourself about your mental hygiene.
If there was such a thing as a 'Deep State' what form do you think it might take?Uh, according to the source you keep posting all over the place, the spox has already thrown the prosecutors under the bus: "inconsistent with what we were told"....ie, they went rogue.....which is an insane argument..."we didn't know the prosecutors were going to do that, just like with Flynn"

Every day, millions of federal workers go to work, doing their jobs to the best of their abilities in accordance with the laws of the United States, and the regulations and policies that govern their particular tasks. That, I'm afraid, is what the "deep state" now is, according to Donald Trump and his cohorts: government workers, doing their jobs, following the rules; Lawyers following the law in the administration of justice; scientists gathering data and reporting the results; economists trying to suss out economic trends and counteract negative effects; educators teaching.
When Dwight Eisenhower left office, he coined the phrase "Military-Industrial Complex" to describe what he saw as an unhealthy alliance between the arms industry and expansionist elements within the military acquisition leadership. This morphed over time into the far more amorphous "deep state" of paranoid minds and fiction writers (think, Manchurian Candidate). In the conspiratorial mind, any action which doesn't follow their precept of what "should" happen becomes evidence of the conspiracy, no, matter the mundane and easily identified root of the "deviation". Because Donald Trump has deviated so far from the norms and traditions (not to say rules and laws as well), there are innumerable activities that don't conform to his (fantasy) expectations.
Thence we get to our current condition, fostered by the unfortunate accession of the party (and Congress), that normal people, doing normal things, for routine reasons become part of the grand "deep state" conspiracy.
About what was expected.Smurfs. Riding unicorns. While mermaids spin hay into gold bars. The "deep state" is a psychotic and paranoid delusion designed to invalidate every criticism of Trump.
Is it your understanding that what the IRS, FBI, and CIA did was normal? Or do you feel they may have crossed a line by deliberately targeting Republicans?Every day, millions of federal workers go to work, doing their jobs to the best of their abilities in accordance with the laws of the United States, and the regulations and policies that govern their particular tasks.

That has always been a Bull**** argument. There is no evidence, NONE, that Republicans were targeted. If you want to make the claim, provide the evidence.Is it your understanding that what the IRS, FBI, and CIA did was normal?

This should get you started and able to stay up-to-date.That has always been a Bull**** argument. There is no evidence, NONE, that Republicans were targeted. If you want to make the claim, provide the evidence.
Out.
Devil's advocate will only carry you so far when there are multiple social media posts that she knew exactly who Stone was.
Knowing who the person IS does not constitute evidence of impermissible bias, and she never claimed not to know who he is. So there are multiple social media posts indicating something she didn't deny and can be assumed since she did admit to closely following political news on social media... Where's the issue?
Splitting hairs. Lying by omission by not claiming to recall will still give basis for appeal. The issue remains claiming not to know details while posting details on social media.
But you're just asserting lies without quoting what she represented to the court in voir dire, and her questionnaire, versus what her social media shows. There's LITTLE in it about Stone, which is why your "GOTCHA!!" so far is she tweeted a story that included Stone's indictment, and about 10 others indicted, charged, convicted, etc. And she didn't claim she was unaware Stone was indicted until she showed up for jury duty.
People have pored over her accounts and AFAIK there are two Tweets. One about the arrest and use of force which isn't a commentary about Stone's case, and that story. No amount of stretching indicates those two Tweets show a bias against STONE.
Anything and I mean anything unethical will give basis for appeal. Appeals have been filed on thinner basis.
OK, that's just word salad that has nothing to do with my comment.
There was nothing wordy about that. It will be easy to argue the juror was unethical in her statement that she knew little about the case prior to the voir dire. Any weakness at all in the case will form the basis for appeal. That is a weakness.
