Whats happening, he knows what roger knows about him, how much negotiation is there going to go on right now with sentencing coming, the type of prison, whether its allenwood, lewisberg, something much less pleasant, where they dont have a tennis court, where theres white collar criminals or sleaze balls, how much negotiation is the president capable of right now . In terms of where roger stone is sentenced, if hes sentenced to prison, thats not up to anyone other than the bureau of prisons. Didnt barr get involved with Manafo Manafort . The bureau of prisons does report to the attorney general. But in almost every case ive heard of, its a designation based on risk and how much time
is to be served. A second point, i also think roger stone has rendered himself absolutely useless. He has lied almost every time hes opened his mouth. It would be very hard for prosecutors to turn to him now to get Additional Information that they could use against others. Roger stone is useless. Hes a conv
question the witnesses about the whistle-blower, because that seems to work with their 40%. and then you go after the whole thing with the ukraine which is crazy. but hunter biden is rich territory, because i think nobody here or anywhere else doesn t think that was a problem for the democrats. that s a problem no matter how well the vice president may have behaved in that matter, having his son representing part of the problem over there is a problem. and everybody knows it. i don t know that that moves anybody. it s a point to make. that s true. if they re trying to make one. they can bang on it as much as they want but the interesting thing is, the more the republicans talk about hunter biden, the more it makes what the president tried to do seem corrupt. the president is chasing after him because he was trying to affect the future election. i know why they re doing it. i just don t necessarily think that convinces your average person. clearly they wouldn t be doing it now,
her testimony is, i was intimidated, i had to leave the country in the middle of the night because i didn t want somebody throwing acid in my face and rudy giuliani were conspireing against me. they have three points, they want to bring up hunter biden as soon as they can and say did you think there was something fishy about the son of the vice president having this contract for $50,000 with burisma, get her off her high horse, that s what they ll try to do. they ll also go after the crazy conspiracy involving 2016 and ukraine. then they ll ask for the whistle-blower again. they started with the same m.o. as on wednesday. they start with these pain in the butt points of order just to slow down the rhythm that you know the chairman wants to try to establish, a dramatic opening, heart of it, close, remind everybody what you re saying. they re trying to disturb that, just distraction. they re going to go after that stuff again. point of order, why can t we
