Juror in Stone case calls Trump attacks 'appalling'

WASHINGTON - A juror who helped convict a longtime adviser to President Donald Trump on Thursday called the president’s attacks on prosecutors, the judge and the jury involved in the case “appalling,” as Democrats accused Trump of interfering in the U.S. judicial process.

House of Representatives Speaker Nancy Pelosi told a news conference that Trump’s comments on the Stone case amounted to interference in the workings of the U.S. government’s judicial branch.“This is an abuse of power - that the president is again trying to manipulate federal law enforcement to serve his political interest,” said Pelosi, a Democrat. “This is not what America is about. It is so wrong.

Hours later, the Justice Department abandoned the recommendation, prompting all four prosecutors to quit the case. One left the department altogether. “This is the commander-in-chief, this is the top law enforcement officer, and he’s got a right to his opinion,” White House spokeswoman Stephanie Grisham told Fox News.

Early on in the jury selection process, Stone’s lawyers were overruled by Jackson when they tried to strike prospective jurors who worked for the government or who had opinions about Trump. Some of the people Stone’s defense expressed concerns about, including a former White House official from former President Barack Obama’s administration, did not make the final cut on the jury, made up of 12 people and two alternates.

Justice Department representatives did not respond to a request for comment. Barr is due to testify before a House panel next month.

Pelosi is so old she farts dust!!!!! WE DONT CARE WHAT “PELOSI” thinks, says or does unless she is RETIRED!!!!!!!

Impeach him again and again and again.

BarusArus And it’s perfectly clear that she is right. ImpeachTrumpAgain

I see Ol Drunk Nancy has switched from her witches scepter lapel pin to an American flag. I wonder if that burns her skin?

If that’s abuse of power what was the jury forewoman exactly doing?

Whatever. So once someone becomes president they lose freedom of speech because that’s abuse of power? That’s what you’re saying. He can’t say anything. Grow up.

This is one of the reasons we still hear the term 'whining bitch'

Hillary Clinton and Obama wrote the book on abuse of power.

Maybe they can get one more impeachment in before November....

Trump is like a 'mold'..it can grow anywhere & leave its 'destruction' on its path.. '

The fore person on the jury that convicted Stone ran for Congress as a Democrat in 2012. Stone was interrogated for 20 hrs then brought back for follow up interrogation which was a trap for perjury. The Mueller playbook was to indict and get them to flip, a FBI mob tactic.

I've seen this movie before. It didn't end well for her.

On to the next 'crisis'. Maybe if the Democrats started doing their job, they would be able to beat Trump in the election. They're certainly not winning any votes from us independents by crying wolf every week.

Yeah, ABUSE OF POWER = IMPEACHMENT = REMOVAL FROM OFFICE, let's start anew. Every American citizen can comment on miscarriage of justice in the Stone case, but if the President of the United States comments, he must be removed from office.

Calling it like it is. Thank you SpeakerPelosi. GOP

Impeach him again!!!

They should impeach him.......again

So speaking is an abuse of power?

The only abuse of power I’ve seen so far is Pelosi & Schiffs sham impeachment

But we already know the juror was absolutely tainted and Stone is entitled to a new trial. Trump was right.
