A judge has ordered longtime Trump confidant Roger Stone to prison on July 14 and into home confinement until then, citing Stone's own evidence of medical issues that he cited to request a delay of his June 30 surrender date to begin a 40-month jail term

"This will address the defendant’s stated medical concerns during the current increase of reported cases in Florida, and Broward County in particular, and it will respect and protect the health of other inmates who share defendant’s anxiety over the potential introduction and spread of the virus at this now-unaffected facility," Jackson said in a brief order accompanying her decision.

Jackson immediately began a searching inquiry into the matter, pressing Stone and the U.S. attorney's office for the District of Columbia for details on Stone's request to obtain a delay. She also asked for details about coronavirus spread in FCI-Jesup. "Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is currently the U.S. Department of Justice’s policy ... to not oppose a defendant’s request to extend a voluntary surrender date for up to 60 days, unless the defendant poses an immediate public safety or flight risk," the U.S. attorney's office for Washington, D.C., said in a late-night filing. "For that reason—and that reason only—the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia does not oppose defendant Roger J.

And on Thursday, Jackson inquired further, ordering Stone to provide details about what he told the Bureau of Prisons which set his June 30 reporting date after Jackson denied his motion for a new trial in mid-April. When POLITICO asked the Bureau of Prisons in March whether virus-related concerns had prompted delays in defendants’ dates to begin their prison terms, a spokesman replied: “Individuals with questions about voluntary surrender should consult their attorneys and the U.S. Marshals Service for direction.”

Attorney General William Barr has rejected the suggestion that politics or Trump favoritism played a role in his decision to overrule Zelinsky and other prosecutors to recommend a lesser sentence for Stone.

PARDON STONE!

Stone is NOT a long time friend of Trump... your fabricating an untruth.

Because he’s white and has money. What a crock of shit.

To eliminate the CCP, freezing the deposits of CCP officials in Swiss banks is the most effective method. At the same time, the Chinese are granted visa-free treatment. When the Chinese can escape from CCP control, the CCP will lose any help from the people. There is no war!

Roger Stone was a pundit targeted for political persecution just like James Traficant by deranged anti-white, anti-Christian Democrats. He was railroaded by a Jewish liberal judge and a black anti-Trump jury forewomen. TuckerCarlson RandPaul AnnCoulter Trump2020Landslide

B ita B ita Bye bye Rog, you will be able to write a book on jailhouse sex, when you get out of jail.

DebbieRhoden57 And the pardon in 3...2...1

He looked drugged up or/and had dementia the last interview I saw. Very aggressive.

The judge should have made it July 4th.

realDonaldTrump - must be time for your next illegal act - pardoning your good friend RogerStone

White privileged at its finest. Black people are locked up for crimes they didn’t commit while white people with crimes are free and walking around.And white people wonder why people are protesting.
