The fate of one man, a loyal Trump supporter, Roger Stone, hangs in the balance as a federal judge refuses to postpone his sentencing – all while his lawyers push for a new trial amid evidence of clear anti-Trump bias from the jury. Is justice even possible in this political, polarized world in which we now live?
The president made his opinion known – this was and is not right.
The president telling reporters, “I think it was a very, very rough thing that happened to Roger Stone.” He goes on to say, “somebody has to stick up for the people.”
The president says that, while separately, the attorney general initiated an intervention of his own.
Now, more than 1,000 former Department of Justice staffers, including now analysts at MSNBC and CNN – in an overtly political move – are calling for the resignation of Attorney General Willam Barr.

As this is going on, we are seeking the truth. For the truth, you need context.
Roger Stone is the man facing up to 50 years in prison. He is a Republican political operative. Let’s face it: that alone is enough for some people to send him to jail.
During the Mueller investigation, Roger Stone lied to federal investigators and allegedly pressured one potential witness. Not good. Never good.
You cannot and do not lie – and you especially do not lie to federal investigators.
However, and I’m not making excuses, but I need you to remember these were no ordinary federal investigators. And, this was not a normal investigation.
A team of Democrats and even former Clinton people made up Robert Mueller’s prosecutorial team, and they were out for blood.
Their goal, need I remind us? Their goal was to prove that the president of the United States was an agent of Russia.
Think about how insane and wild that was – and yet, that’s what they were determined to prove courtesy of unproven, false opposition research bought and paid for by the Hillary Clinton campaign.
It’s important to remember the context surrounding all of this. Roger Stone screwed up. But, he screwed up in an investigation that never should have taken place to begin with.
Former Trump deputy national security adviser KT McFarland said on "Trish Regan Primetime" last week, "This was a set-up from the very beginning by people who didn't think Trump would win, and once he won, didn't want him to govern." She went on to say, "All of this started from the poisonous fruit of people in the intelligence community who decided they were going to get Trump, and the weak link was Mike Flynn, let's start there."
