1. Whoa! Zippy's well and truly fucked.

2. Just like Stone himself

that is BIZARRE!!! No witnesses? Defense rests?

You think he's joining the line for a presidential pardon?

[gratuitous]

5. It's a roll of the dice

Stone and his attorney feel the government hasn't proved its case against him. They're going to hang it all on a dazzling closing statement that will lay bare all the deficiencies in the government's case, deficiencies that they're only now going to point out. The government lawyers will then have one final opportunity to explain why those deficiencies are not deficiencies or are immaterial to the central questions of fact and law.

9. I've seen that on TV shows....

...but I’ve never heard of it happening in a high profile case like this.

3. I hope there isn't a MAGA moron on the jury

that's going to declare him not guilty on behalf of Trump.

8. jury nullification set the Bundys and the Hokoanas free.

up here in the Great PNW.

pretty effective strategy, unfortunately.

4. He will just get pardoned. We have a mobster in the WH...well, not really, he is WAY too dumb

to be a mobster but he does work with mobsters on everything.

15. Can Trump pardon a co-conspirator?

[Eliot Rosewater]

19. IDK, can he tell anyone he wants to just ignore subpoenas? Apparently he can

Can he lie 15,000 times in 3 yrs and still be prez?

Can he commit obstruction of justice dozens of times and have zero repercussion?

I could go on. IDK if he can pardon a co-conspirator, but in the end I dont think we will have courts and laws left to turn to, I think putin has a surprise in store for us and if people dont get their SHIT together and all say

VOTE BLUE NO MATTER WHO

then we definitely absolutely have no chance of surviving

But good question, who would decide? SC? Nah, only 4 justices on the SC, the other 5 are filthy scum who dont care at ALL about the rule of law or the constitution.

6. Do they have a planted juror?

Makes me wonder!

[SCantiGOP]

11. Don't need it

if he has a Presidential pardon in his back pocket.

[bluestarone]

13. true

But i still wonder

[uponit7771]

14. +1

[oswaldactedalone]

18. Most Likely

7. Who would willingly put Roger Stone on the witness stand?

He could never survive a cross examination.

10. Did his lawyer ask the judge to dismiss the charges?

If he expects the jury to think that the state didn't prove its case, he must have asked to judge to dismiss the charges on those grounds. And if the judge refused, that means the judge believes that the prosecution has a legitimate case.

[Qutzupalotl]

12. Yes, he did.

Roger Stone moves to dismiss case, says government didn't show he had an intermediary to WikiLeaks, that there was miscommunication & a misunderstanding between Stone & Credico. "Stone is not Nostradamus and he did not have an intermediary feeding him information."

16. Thanks for the info. It appears the judge disagrees.

Hopefully, the jury does too.

[still_one]

17. He expects a trump pardon
