Roger Stone might want to think whether his bid for new trials will turn his threat against Amy Berman Jackson into a charge of its own.

The frothy right is making a comparison between the Roger Stone and Mike Flynn cases and that of Andrew McCabe. Not only is that inapt on its face, but all the more so when you see how dodgy the case against McCabe really was.

This post attempts to capture all the things Bill Barr's DOJ has done to cover-up Trump's crimes.

Far be it for me to doubt Bill Barr's ability to manufacture a cover-up. He's damn good at it, that's why he was hired, and he's got a lot of power to use to execute one. But it'll be harder this time around than it was for Poppy Bush, in…

Joshua Schulte is trying to make his trial as painful for the government as possible by calling every single CIA witness who might be claimed to have knowledge of the leak. But I'm more sympathetic to his bid to call Mike Pompeo to testify.

Bill Barr unilaterally eliminated all punishment for Roger Stone for his repeated incitement of violence in a case where the judge herself was violently threatened.

In Stone's trial, Steve Bannon revealed he discussed Stone's alleged ties to WikiLeaks before he joined the campaign. That makes the August 2, 2016 column Stone wrote with Lee Stranahan far more interesting.

DOJ says that Roger Stone, who is 67, is too old to serve a prison sentence until he's 74. Which I guess means that the 73 year old President running for another 4 year term is too old to run.

In making his case that his obstruction wasn't all that obstructive, Roger Stone claims to be able to have x-ray vision.
