STONE: Now That I’m Ungagged, I’d Like To Say A Few Things About My Prosecution

by Roger Stone, The Daily Caller:



With Attorney General William Barr now firmly in charge at the Justice Department, the steady unraveling of the coup plot against President Donald J. Trump by the Obama-Clinton junta raises the real possibility that a number of its culprits will face prosecution. The pushback from Democrats and their allies is the false claim that Attorney General Barr “interfered” in the sentencing recommendations of the “non-political career line prosecutors” in my case as well as recommending the dismissal of the thoroughly corrupted case against Gen. Michael Flynn. Now that I am ungagged, I can outline why this charge against the Attorney General is entirely false. Read on.



After years of obfuscation, foot-dragging and distracting sham investigations to prop up the Democrats’ Russian collusion hoax, the end is perhaps nigh for the defiant zealots behind the most brazen attempt to systematically subvert constitutional government in our nation’s entire history.


Despite his somewhat-plodding manner, AG Barr is emerging as a stolid, steady leader in the national imperative of correcting the veritable crime spree of Obama-Clinton sponsored injustices, while exorcising the DOJ of the lawless partisan corruption that infested its ranks during the Obama administration.


To the dismay of the deep state manipulators, Barr is not susceptible to smarmy tactics and relentless bullying. His fealty lies solely with the Constitution and fulfilling the DOJ’s role as its guardian, ensuring the reliable administration of legitimate, rather than wayward justice.


Barr may well prove to be the immovable object the Obama-Clinton-Democrat manipulators had hoped their endless torrent of lies, smears and obfuscations would never encounter. As they see that political pressures will not bring Barr to heel, he has become a focal point for their relentless attack machine.


In February, the Attorney General found out just how diabolical the Obama-Clinton apparatchiks can be when the lawyers prosecuting me engineered a media frenzy to set Barr up for false accusations that he had intervened to serve the interests of President Trump.


This malicious prosecution used as a tool to silence and bankrupt me originated with Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s partisan hit squad, but was migrated to the U.S. Attorney for D.C. when Mueller abruptly ended his nearly 2-year inquisition targeting President Trump and his political supporters. Two members of Mueller’s team were dispatched to prosecute the case alongside two lawyers from the U.S. Attorney’s office. With them came the Mueller team’s penchant for devious legal machinations and unethical ambush tactics.


As my case came to the sentencing phase, its underhanded prosecutors reportedly lied to senior DOJ officials and “browbeat” the newly-appointed US Attorney for D.C. in order to file a sentencing memorandum recommending that I receive seven to nine years incarceration as a non-violent first-time offender on charges that were picayune gotcha offenses.


The draconian punishment recommendation was a radical departure from standard DOJ sentencing recommendation practices and immediately sparked public outrage. The criticism from legal experts across the spectrum compelled the DOJ to correct the government’s sentencing recommendation to bring it in line with the handling normally given a case of its kind.


The DOJ went so far as to issue a public statement denouncing the recommendation of its own prosecutors, warning that “[t]he Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Mr. Stone’s offenses.” Hardly a ringing endorsement of this persecution team’s judgment, to say the least.


Ambushing their own department and using dishonest trickery to file an outlandish punishment recommendation in a high-profile case is hardly what one might expect from principled crusaders for justice.


Notwithstanding their laughable canonization by the media, the truth is that these partisan manipulators posing as prosecutors knew exactly what they were doing, and engineering a media controversy was precisely the result they sought.


Had these prosecutors simply complied with DOJ professional practice, had they offered their department colleagues slightly better treatment than sheer contempt, they would have denied themselves the opportunity to pompously grandstand as aggrieved public servants compelled by their scrupulous ethics to withdraw from the case in protest. (Sure, fellas, and in other news I am the odds-on favorite to become the next pope.)


The ugly reality is that they abused their positions of trust to push for an outlandish retributive punishment in my case, while teeing up another defamatory smear against AG Bill Barr, knowing well that sympathetic media jackals and a ready-made gaggle of their DC swamp allies would giddily promote and perpetuate the narrative, exactly according to plan.


It was a “Tuesday afternoon massacre!” bleated a few of the more demented propaganda outlets, alluding to the so-called “Saturday night massacre” in which Richard Nixon ordered the firing of Special Prosecutor and Kennedy minion Archibald Cox.


The false narrative created by these Mueller goons enabled a malicious hit job on an Attorney General who, in reality, is more fair-minded, ethical and public-interested than the entire army of sleazy lawfare practitioners who made up the Obama crime presidency, combined.


The disingenuousness and inflated self-importance of these partisan legal hacks was as repugnant as their conduct was unprofessional and uncouth.


Clearly their curious idea of what it means to represent the United States Government as Department of Justice attorneys is a function of the sordid partisan animus and power-abusive arrogance they share with their fellow travelers in the Obama-Clinton junta.


These are dangerous, perhaps even criminally-corrupt, government officials. It is worth taking a closer look at who these prosecutorial bullies really are, and what sort of deep state bonafides enabled them to get away with such injustices.


First, we can largely dispel the laughable spin that these are “career prosecutors” due some sort of deferential default presumption of being non-partisan, unbiased, apolitical vicars of justice. The facts are that these prosecutors were handpicked partisan mercenaries with ideological profiles of decidedly anti-Trump partisans.
