'Chutzpah': Trump’s convicted adviser Roger Stone re-emerges before reporting to prison

Convicted Trump aides Michael Flynn and Roger Stone are moving forward in their

fight to avoid jail time. Stone, a former Trump adviser, has recently appeared

on Fox Business News before his scheduled time to report to prison for a three

year term, alleging he and Flynn are the “the subjects of a political vendetta.”

Former Federal Prosecutor John Flannery says Flynn plead guilty and despite the

DOJ’s urging to dismiss, “this special case” is up to the judge to decide, not

Attorney General Barr. Even going to the classic “A Few Good Men” line in

reference to Flynn, “You can’t handle the truth.” Flannery acknowledges the

irony in Stone’s claim that he is “as innocent as Flynn” but reiterates that

Flynn “twice said he was guilty.”

'First responders at risk':

GOP veteran sees Trump gambling with safety at August convention

Less than six months away from the 2020 presidential election, the coronavirus

pandemic has threatened a key tradition in American politics – the party

convention. In an interview with MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber,

Former GOP Strategist Mike Murphy argues Trump “needs a room full of adoring

supporters” but adds a the decision to hold a convention is “tough in the

pandemic era, even as we slowly start to open up.” Murphy says the “next big

campaign fight” if Republicans attempt to hold a convention, Democrats will

argue Trump and his party “are putting cops and first responders at risk by

trying to put 10,000 people in an area in Charlotte” at the August RNC.
