Trump is trying to push the judge to grant Stone a new trial just days before Stone is set to be sentenced.

Donald Trump is once again meddling in the criminal proceedings against his longtime political ally and former campaign adviser Roger Stone, this time demanding that the judge in Stone's case grant him a new trial.

Trump made the demand on Twitter by quoting Fox News personality Andrew Napolitano, who said on "Fox & Friends" Tuesday morning that a juror on Stone's case was allegedly biased against Trump.

Trump tweeted:

So now he wants to intimidate a judge..............................I really hope that she tells him and Stone to go pound sand......................

November 3, 2020 cannot get here fast enough...................unless we go into the streets first

1. So dumb. Just pardon him already. He's going to anyway.

5. I've heard mention that

pardons for which the intent is to cover up or is associated with, not sure which it actually is or would be, are not valid and cannot be issued.

I need a fact check on that, though.

6. That won't stop trump.

Another clogged, years in the court system. Frustrating!

9. Should we just bow down to Trump?

[jimfields33]

10. We need some ideas that will work

8. Hell no, this was (and should be) a nation of laws.

No one, especially an in-your-face criminal like Stone, should be given a free pass.

The rule of law is well worth fighting for. Trump and his stooges are making a mockery of that rule of law.

Without it, this country is doomed for certain.

2. He's a pig idiot

I can’t wait to see these fuckers in prison as we all do.

3. I think we'll be

doing the latter. I suspect the only way to deal with this is to just have a week long walk out. Sow them who make the wheel go 'round. They work for us so we may have to pull the plug of industry upon which they depend... and soon.

4. Just another day at the office...

7. Smells like he's laying the political ground work to pardon

Stone so Stone doesn't rat him out and so that he buffers the negative public outrage with this foundation that Stone got a raw deal.

Stone, Flynn, Gates, Manafort etc were convicted or entered a guilty plea - most of them multiple times.

12 people unanimously convicted Stone on nine counts. Bias becomes an enormous reach when 12 people convict on nine different crimes.

Trump has to do it because Stone will fry him if he doesn't. Ditto Flynn. Manafort may be moot because they've got him on state crimes even if Trump pardons him.

I think it's pretty obvious what Trump is up to. They're blackmailing him because they've got the goods on Trump.

12. it takes a unanimous verdict to convict. so bias by one juror is all it takes for a new trial

The issue is whether the juror fully disclosed pertinent information on her jury questionnaire and/or during the oral voir dire.

15. I am extremely curious

as to why this juror popped up and made this admission...it has become their best bet to wiggle free. What were Trump et al doing to the jury which may have caused these unusual remarks from the forewoman?

[onenote]

16. she was responding to the decision to change the sentencing recommendation

She was defending the prosecution team that made the initial recommendation.

11. Yep, building up a case of persecution for a justification for a pardon

Roger probably has major Donnie Dirt.

13. Twitler's pissed because the jury wasn't 100 percent Deplorables.

Whine, whine, crybaby whine.

14. New American System

Crimes, facts and juries be damned, just keep trying them until you get the results you want.
