Hillary Clinton Offers To Represent Roger Stone At Future Parole Hearings

LAKE FOREST, NEW YORK — Former Secretary of State and 2016 Democratic presidential candidate Hillary Rodham Clinton formally offered to be Roger Stone’s legal counsel for any future parole hearings he may have. While the judge in his trial grapples with satisfying President Trump’s personal Department of Justice with her sentence, Ms. Clinton wrote a letter to stone in which she offered to represent him to the parole board, once his sentence has been meted out.

“Roger, how are you doing these days? I hope well,” Clinton opened, “I wanted to write and offer you my services. As you know, I’m an attorney, and I’m quite familiar with you and your case. I must apologize that the roles aren’t reversed, and I’m not the one who’s been locked up, but then again I didn’t commit any crimes, so there’s that. But you did you, and that’s fine. I’m not here to quibble with someone who will be spending time behind bars while I, and all of my emails, will be free to go anywhere and do anything for the rest of my life.”

In recent days, President Trump has taken an extremely personal interest in Stone’s case. He has lobbied — successfully — to have his personal Attorney General William Barr pressure the prosecutors in the case to resign rather than stand behind an extreme reduction in the duration of the sentence they’re asking the judge to hand down. Trump has repeatedly tweeted his anger at how Stone has been treated, accusing the prosecution of corruption without providing any evidence to back up his claims. Stone was convicted by a jury of his peers after a trial that presented evidence and witnesses, which sources say Trump has denounced for not aligning with the kind of trial he got in the Senate for his impeachment.

It's hilarious and I hope it's real
