Roger Stone, Jeffrey Epstein and the Crackup of America's Leadership

Roger Stone was recently convicted in federal court on seven felony charges, stemming from the since-closed Russian collusion investigation.

Stone's main crime was lying to Congress about who he had, or had not, spoken to about Russia. By the time Stone's trial began in
Washington, nobody was talking about WikiLeaks anymore. Nobody cared. Yet prosecutors continued as if it were 2017.
For lying about something now irrelevant, they argued that Roger Stone should spend up to 50 years in prison, the rest of his life.

At the very moment prosecutors were making that case -- that Stone's misstatements ought to be a death penalty offense -- Congressman
Adam Schiff was busy lying to the rest of us about new things, some that actually matter. Schiff didn't seem worried about lying.
He knows he'll never be prosecuted for it. In Washington, dishonesty is strictly a one-way offense.

Yet despite the irony of all this, Stone was convicted. Official Washington cheered. "Rot in hell!" they screamed on Twitter.
What's interesting about the response to Stone's case -- both from federal prosecutors and the conventional media -- is how
much harsher it was than anything that greeted convicted child molester Jeffrey Epstein.

When Epstein was released from his first prison term, he hosted a dinner at his home with ABC News host George Stephanopoulos,
former NBC host Katie Couric, Chelsea Handler, Woody Allen, CBS's Charlie Rose, British Prince Andrew and many others. Do you think
Stephanopoulos would consider having dinner at Stone's house?
Of course not. That would be immoral. FBI officials, apparently, agree.

You'll remember what happened when Stone was arrested. Dozens of federal agents with automatic weapons, armored vehicles and a
helicopter descended on his home in a middle-class part of Fort Lauderdale and rousted the 66-year-old and his wife from bed at rifle
point.

Just to make sure the event inflicted maximum humiliation, the feds tipped off CNN, which was there to capture the whole thing live.
That's how our government treated a man facing perjury charges.

Epstein, by contrast, was accused of molesting at least 34 separate underage girls. How was he arrested?
He wasn't. According to The New York Times account, prosecutors called Epstein's lawyers and asked him to turn himself in, which
Epstein politely did. Nobody tipped off CNN.

Just the opposite. Authorities tried to keep the whole thing secret, to preserve Epstein's dignity.
One prosecutor wrote to Epstein's longtime attorney, former Bush administration senior official Jay Lefkowitz, assuring him that to
"avoid the press," she could, "file the charge in district court in Miami, which will hopefully cut the press coverage significantly."

Pretty thoughtful treatment for a child molester. Ultimately, Epstein got a plea deal and all federal charges against him were dropped.
The arrangement was kept secret even from Epstein's victims, so they wouldn't be able to complain or contest the agreement in court.

Epstein received just 18 months. But instead of being sent to state prison, like most sex offenders in Florida, he served his term in a
private wing of the Palm Beach County Stockade. But even that wasn't lenient enough. After just three and a half months in custody,
Epstein was freed on "work release," meaning that he was able to leave the grounds for 12 hours a day, six days a week.
Sex offenders aren't supposed to be eligible for work release, but authorities gave it to Epstein anyway.

Apparently, Stone did something worse than molesting children. He mocked the people in charge and then helped Donald Trump get
elected president. For that, he is likely to die in prison.

We have now heard credible allegations that NBC News covered for politically connected rapist Harvey Weinstein and ABC News
covered for politically connected pedophile Jeffrey Epstein. Roger Stone, meanwhile, is headed to prison for something nobody
even understands.

Prosecutors have a great deal of discretion in our legal system. The media has, rightfully, near-total freedom under our constitution.
But our whole system collapses once the public loses faith in its basic fairness. A huge driver behind Trump's election was the American
people's loss of faith in our leaders and our top legal, political, financial, educational and media institutions.

When rapists and pedophiles are protected as political disputes are criminalized, it's not hard to see why people are questioning the
leadership of our country.

Nice job, Sky.

The article shows the depths of the collusion within Government agencies and the media
and their goals to contain Trump's struggles of revealing the Deep State.

It's frightening to think that such a system has been used for so many years without being
held accountable.
I hope Stone is forgiven and I would like to see Adam Schiff's behavior looked into officially.
