Indictment-O-Rama, Act 3: Cohen Up the River

BREAKING: SCOTUS upholds the "separate sovereigns" standard of double jeopardy.

https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/politics/2019/06/17/supreme-court-double-jeopardy-ruling-trump-associates/3268701002/

WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court upheld Monday the ability of federal and state governments to prosecute defendants twice for the same crime – a form of double jeopardy that could come into play if President Donald Trump pardons former associates caught up in the Russian election-meddling scandal.

The case, which was heard in early December, had appeared to be an opportunity for challengers to block second prosecutions. But, during oral argument, it became clear that a majority of justices were wary of letting criminals go free, possibly including some of those previously sentenced.

Associate Justice Samuel Alito wrote the 7-2 opinion, joined by three conservative and three liberal colleagues. Associate Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Neil Gorsuch dissented.

The case had gained attention largely because of the possibility that Trump could pardon one or more of his former associates convicted in federal court by special counsel Robert Mueller as part of the investigation into Russian interference in the 2016 election.

Brett Kavanaugh on the side of an anti-Trump majority? Trump's not going to like that.

It was a very weird mixed salad of ideologies. Ginsburg and Gorsuch de-scented, while Sotomayor and the other liberals joined an opinion written by Justice Alito

I truly love your speech-to-text app (not sarcasm).

A very interesting ruling indeed. This still doesn't mean that Kavanaugh isn't horrible though.

Uhhh a judge just released over fifty pages of texts between Manafort and Hannity after Manafort's conviction.

This has been delayed... again. Apparently due to Sater being sick. Hopefully it’ll be reschedule soon. House Intel subpoenaed him in response.

Prosecutors Have Accused Roger Stone Of Violating A Judge’s Gag Order By Instagramming About His Case

Stone has been barred from talking about his case, or former special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation, since US District Judge Amy Berman Jackson imposed a gag order Feb. 21. She originally gave Stone leeway to speak with reporters and comment on social media, but took a harder-line approach after Stone posted a photo of the judge on Instagram with what appeared to be a crosshairs symbol. Stone had argued it wasn’t his intent to threaten the judge, and it was just the logo of the website he got the photo from, but she was unmoved.

In a court filing Thursday, prosecutors highlighted social media posts by Stone on June 18 and 19 that they contend run afoul of Jackson’s order. One Instagram post screenshotted an article about a recent court filing from Stone’s lawyers with the caption, “But where is the @NYTimes? @washingtonpost ? @WSJ? @CNN?”

Well, among other things, it demonstrates that when Hannity was "objectively reporting" on Manafort's indictment, he was really just giving his audience Manafort's spin disguised as journalism. Whether that is legal or not, I don't know.

What's surprising to me is that these texts seem to indicate that Hannity actually believes the BS he spews, rather than it all just being an act that he puts on because he knows it's easy money.

Yeah, Hannity seems to be 100% down the rabbit hole. The one I really think is doing this all for teh lulz and doesn't believe a word she says is Tomi Lahren.

So she opposed the Kavanaugh nomination? Or any Republican anywhere over the issue?

Call it a tenth of a vertebra. Or more accurately, meaningless virtue signaling

Fair enough, I'm no fan of Lahren. I'm just saying that she has more of a backbone than Sean Hannity, which admittedly is a very low standard.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Trump will win re-election now, I am incredibly confident that Mueller’s lackluster report and further  no indictments simultaneously help Trump and discredit the left. The left look like the shams they are.
