Memphis, TN. woman, Head Juror in Roger Stone trial, stands up for prosecutors

[spanone]

Former Memphis schools board member Tomeka Hart is speaking out about her role on the jury that found Roger Stone, an ally of President Trump, guilty of lying to Congress and obstructing an investigation into Russia to protect Trump and his presidential campaign.

Hart was the foreperson, or head juror, for the November 2019 trial.

She spoke up about her experience in support of the four attorneys who recently quit the prosecution team after the Justice Department, in an unusual move, backed away from the stiff prison sentence recommended for Stone.

“I want to stand up for Aaron Zelinky, Adam Jed, Michael Marando, and Jonathan Kravis – the prosecutors on the Roger Stone trial," Hart wrote. "It pains me to see the DOJ now interfere with the hard work of the prosecutors. They acted with the utmost intelligence, integrity, and respect for our system of justice.”

7. Trump and his republican enablers....

don't give a shit about intelligence, integrity, or respect for our judicial system. All they care about is power and the money that abusing power can bring. That's been the story of Donald Trump's life.

8. Bravo TH good.on.you

Amen to what you said, times a million.......There are 50 million of his people out there and he directs all of them to go after people like you.
You are indeed one of the bravest.

There are many many many of us who have been screaming about what was been happening for DECADES and no one was listening.
If they aren't listening now, they soon will be, when the FASCIST CORPORATE REPUBLICAN COUP is completed Nov. 3rd.

12. The prosecutors that resigned, the judge, and the jurors in the Roger Stone trial

are upstanding patriotic Americans. My thanks and approval of their courage.

I find the post Senate acquittal of Trump and the resulting moves by Barr and Trump troubling.

Seems to me that the House should put together articles of impeachment for Trump (and Barr as well) for actions after the Senate failure to convict, 100% the fault of the Senate GOP putting party and whatever parties are driving our cascading national catastrophe.
