Hawaiian Judge Amy Berman Jackson Declares That Roger Stone Caused The House Report On Russian Collusion to be " " " Incorrect " " ", Sentences Him to 40 Months in Prison

"Incorrect?"

In what way, #Resistance Fighter?

Was it not all that you wanted it to be? Was it not fulfilling?

Did it not scratch you where you Orange Man Bad itched?

Have you not heard of the Mueller Report, which similarly "incorrectly" concluded that Russia Collusion was a hoax all along?

Do you not accept that finding? Are you a conspiracy theorist?

During the hearing, the judge stated -- flat-out said -- that Stone deserved a long sentence because his "lie" caused the Mueller Report to be "incorrect," by which she means, "It did not deliver what CNN and MSNBC promised me it would deliver, and I'm here to rectify that."

So, yes, Stone is being sentenced by a Trump-deranged Russian Collusion Truther.

She will not accept the Mueller Report as proof there was never any "collusion," and she's decided that the man standing before her, Roger Stone, is the reason that her paranoid fantasies were not proven to be true.

BREAKING: Judge sentences Roger Stone to 3 years, 4 months in prison for impeding Trump-Russia investigation

Apparently this Hawaiian Judge applied the Rachel Maddow Sentencing Enhancement following the Don Lemon Rules of Criminal Procedure.

33 Interesting question for the lawyers out there.

Can a Judge bring outside information into the court, that is not submitted as evidence, and use it as part of a ruling?

or is that pretty much an automatic case for appeal?

As it clearly shows bias against the defendant.

35 There is literally nothing Roger Stone could have conceivably done to impede the "Russian Collusion Investigation."

Stone, VOLUNTARILY, turned over all of his communications to investigators, Jerome Corsi did as well.

And lying to congress?

1. As I've been saying, this Obama judge, Amy Berman Jackson, has demonstrated time and again she should not be handling cases involving the president's past associates. She's not capable of impartial justice.

2. Most other judges handling this case would've been appalled by the conduct of the jury foreman and immediately undertaken an investigation of what transpired in her own courtroom.

3. But Jackson plows ahead, indicating her desire to throw the book at Stone. This is the same judge who put Paul Manafort in solitary confinement.

Judge Amy is part of the coup, gagging Stone for a year or so, while the Coup Liars were on CNN all day, after they lied to congress ... and while Strzok and others tried to entrap Trump via their insurance policy. Justice still weeps ... unless the plotters go to prison, for destroying so many patriots, and plotting to destroy the Republic itself.

Posted by: Delaforce at February 20, 2020 01:04 PM (NLtjD)

95 33, Sentencing hearings are usually quite boring affairs and judges are circumspect in what they say in the federal system. What happens is that prior to sentencing, a pre-sentencing report is compiled and the relevant provisions of U.S. Code that the defendant was convicted under. The U.S. Sentencing Commission has created presumptive sentencing ranges for each conviction and this presumptive sentence range also factors in various sentencing enhancement laws such as the Armed Career Criminals Act and so on.

Any sentence outside of the presumptive range is either a downward or upward departure from the guidelines and the judge in the case is required to explain in writing why a sentence outside the range was granted. Both prosecutors and defendants may then appeal such a sentence. Usually prosecutors appeal downward departures while defendants appeal upwards departures. A sentence can only be appealed if a judge departs from the guidelines sentencing range.

Resistance Judge Amy is auditioning for a higher court appointment by the Dems as payback for her shenanigans. I doubt the DC Circuit will be kind to her and her rulings. Given the Trump curse efficacy, Judge Amy's hair will fall out, her nose will grow, and her rulings will be overturned, but mostly the last one.

What would be curious is if Resistance Judge Amy has ex parte contacts via her hubby with the other Resistance figures just like dirty judge Contreas. I'll bet that is so.

was that evidence from the trial or did the judge just use evidence from outside the trial as part of a ruling?

If so how is that not grounds for a mistrial or even removal from the bench of the judge?

107 ZP: In a shocking move, President Trump's administration announced Thursday that just-sentenced political prankster Roger Stone would be receiving a commutation from the President.

Additionally, Mr. Stone was offered a position in the White House as a "policy implementation advisor" to White House senior advisor Stephen Miller. The offer predated the sentencing, indicating that Mr. Stone went into his sentencing aware of both a commutation and a job offer.
Caught on microphone just before entering the bailiff's vehicle on Thursday, Mr. Stone smiled and briskly said, "Well, you know....it's just beautifully mutated."

166 82, No, that is incorrect. A judge may take "judicial notice" only of facts that are not in dispute--e.g. the National Weather Service at the airport had 2 inches of total rain on Wed, Sept. 23, 2019.

Judicial notice is designed to save time during witness examination so that every single fact does not have to be introduced at court.

From the media coverage, it appears that Judge Amy is instead auditioning. And btw, a judge can be removed from a retrial depending on the case facts brought forward in the appeal.

What needs to be investigated is the "random" assignment of Resistance Judge Amy to these cases. There is probably a rat in the Clerk's Office doing this.

232 184, The whole random selection of who hears cases is a pathetic joke. People in the clerk's office are supposed to randomly assigned cases but often throw a high profile case to a judge that can be depended upon to make a ruling by other criteria than the law. I would not be surprised to find that clerks in courts have been even bribed to do so as this was true in the state courts during the Mafia era.

The gay marriage case being sent to a district court judge who was gay and had interest in the outcome is such an example. Two high profile Mueller cases being sent to Resistance Judge Amy is another.

I strongly suspect that since Trump and Bloomie are both lifelong NYC celebs, they've been bumping into each other for their entire lives, and Bloomberg is intensely jealous of the fame that Trump has earned. Just like farming, Bloomie thinks it can't be hard, and he's better than Trump, and so all of that deserves to be HIS!

I truly believe that drives Bloomie's campaign more than anything else.

Or maybe they were just enraptured by the awe-inspiring presence of a man more gloriously accomplished and progressive than any of them will ever be and held back out of respect and knowing that Mike would beat them in the debate no matter how hard they tried.

310 The U.S. defense agency responsible for secure White House communications said Social Security numbers and other personal data in its network may have been compromised, according to a letter seen by Reuters on Thursday that was sent to people possibly affected.

The letter, dated Feb. 11, 2020, says that between May and July 2019, personal data may have been compromised "in a data breach" of a system hosted by the Defense Information Systems Agency.

The agency provides direct telecommunications and IT support for President Donald Trump, Vice President Mike Pence, their staff, and the U.S. Secret Service, according to its website.

Forget Lincoln and Douglas. Forget Nixon and Kennedy. Hell, forget the Athenians and the Melians back during the Peloponnesian War. Last night's Democratic primary slagfest in Nevada was the greatest debate in all of human history.

Oh, was it glorious -- the sheer raging hostility spraying across the stage as every campaign besides the Bernie Sanders and Michael Bloomberg bids faces the desperate possibility that each might fade into the woodwork against the Bernie surge and the Bloomberg billions.

It's not that the gloves were off. No, my friends, everybody was wearing steel-tipped boots and going right for the crotch. Those weren't snowflakes. They were nunchucks.

The spin his team put out was that he was all tough and didn't lose his cool and showed presidential stamina and attitude.

Watching the Democrat debate last night, Ann and I were highly impressed with the performance of Mike Bloomberg. He was well-prepared, offered real solutions to the problems we face and was articulate in expressing his vision for a unified Republic, free from partisan bickering and political one-upmanship.

He stood tall on that stage last night and overshadowed all his competitors as he deftly took on all comers.

Impressive performance!

Those don't look too bad, actually. I have no...zero...love for Mike Bloomberg. But I must say that I'm not a big fan of ragging on his height. My brother and dad are short. In the 5'5' range. I was always taller than both of them. Not so much my dad, but I know it greatly affected my brother over the years with his self-esteem. It affected him...a lot. I always felt bad for him because of it. If I were a guy, I don't think I'd like being that kind of short. Superficial, yes. But it is what it is.

I have no faith in human institutions to lose anymore. Power is a magnet that draws humanity's worst. If it exists, it will be abused. If you limit it into nonexistence, someone will convince idiots to create it, "to help them", and once the power exists, the justification for it no longer matters.

420 Judge Amy, if the Mueller report was incorrect, and it was Stone's false testimony that caused it to be incorrect, you should be obliged to tell us:
1. What parts were incorrect, and in what specific ways were those parts incorrect?
2 What testimony of Stone's caused those parts to be incorrect?
3. What were the correct versions of those parts?
4. How should those deficiencies be corrected, and by whom?

If you can't or won't address these questions that follow directly from your statements from the bench, your judgements can only be interested as revenge for the disappointment you and your allies suffered.

Ps. Hope you enjoyed the tongue-bath NPR gave you this morning, a "report" on this case which saiid absolutely NOTHING about the outrageousness of the sentence originally proposed by the DOJ prosecutors, but did mention how they resigned in protest to it being reduced.

That was designed to let you reduce their recommended sentence from outrageous to merely disgusting, and reinforce the false impression of fairness and objectivity that NPR fatuously attributed to you, wasn't it!

the justification for it no longer matters.

512 Once the judges decided 'shall hold their offices during times of good behavior' meant their appointments were lifetime we lost control of the third branch.

The problem is less with the judicial decisions as it is with congress refusing to do anything about judges to rein them in. Congress has incredible power over federal judges, but almost never, ever uses it. Then, when they do (Alcee Hastings) they let the guy in and praise him when he gets elected.

In the history of the United States, over 200 years, 14 federal judges have been impeached. Of those, 8 were convicted and removed from office, and 3 resigned before the trial.

They just will not do their damned job and deal with activist judges and ones failing to carry out their duties.

Stone didn't lie to congress. He told congress one thing (he had nothing to do with WikiLeaks)and witnesses another (I have very close connections with Wikileaks).
