WASHINGTON - The criminal trial of President Donald Trump’s longtime adviser Roger Stone is set to begin on Tuesday in what could become a colorful sideshow generating unflattering headlines for the president even as he faces a fast-moving impeachment inquiry.
The trial will start on Tuesday with jury selection, and opening statements could begin as soon as Wednesday, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson said on Monday. The indictment refers to an October 2016 email from a “high-ranking Trump Campaign official” asking Stone to inquire about future releases of emails by “Organization 1,” a reference to Wikileaks. Stone responded that “Organization 1” would release “a load every week going forward.” The election was in November 2016.
Prosecutors have not yet made their witness list public, though they said at a pre-trial hearing on Monday that they intend to call an FBI agent as their first witness.Stone is accused of threatening Credico and his little white dog Bianca, and trying to intimidate him in text messages by urging him to “do a ‘Frank Pentangeli’” - a reference to a character in the movie “The Godfather Part II” who recants his testimony to Congress about mobster Michael Corleone amid witness intimidation.
NotGuilty FakeNews 💪🏽👊🏼👊🏼🙏 He is going to trial and you are convicting him.
wsternks Lock him up,
Are Roger Stone and this Pitbull related
The irony that some prisoner with a name like “Lobinho” is going enjoy that Nixon tattoo as “target” practice is almost too funny. MAGAt 💦🎯🤢😂
Sham trial to hurt Trump supporters.
Look out trump. He's going to turn on you too! Wow you're in deep crap. Have you bought a ticket to Russia yet? Go hang out with your buddy Putin
It doesn't sound like he did anything different than most democrats & they weren't arrested. Another case of double standards.
Lock him up.
Hang him by his Stones...
May he face conviction on all charges.
That pencil neck bitc* lies in the house to the American people but that’s ok
Good.. I hope he goes down in flames as well.
WitchHunt
Roger Stone will win this case AND he gets to (finally) see the evidence used against him.
Such bullsh***t. Liberals are now true Gestapo. Disgusting.
Is there anyone associated with Trump that can be recognised as decent honest patriotic.
I almost forgot about him!
LOCK HIM UP. - THE DIRTY TRICKSTER.
Mike88817 Roger Stone is a great human
When do we start Mueller’s trial for lying?
The protests in Hong Kong are not “Pro-Democracy”, they are violent rioters that will beat up police and ordinary residents . Free HongKong from these violent rioters and return Hong Kong to pre-June-2019 where everywhere are peaceful！
He has Richard Nixon tattooed on his back. That's should be all you need when making the determination of his character. He's a true POS.
charges sound familiar
Steele doc is a lie and was use for warrants, Stone will prove this and that means Mannafort and Flyn will be set FREE!
Lock him up!
This is what Mueller produced for $40 million. What a GREAT DEAL we got with that POS report. 80% chance Stone walks because of Mueller's incompetence.
Cheetos and everyone around is a piece of garbage
They persecute the guardians and gate keepers to get to Trump, nothing noble about US Democrats.
Make him squeal!
Lock him up!
This could be pretty wild.
The tactics of the deep state are despicable. Ruining the lives of anyone connected to Trump. There will come a time when all of this backfires on them.
Lock him up! 🎶 Lock him up! 🎶
Lock him up.
