Lady Justice Spurns Her Blinders For Trump Associates American Greatness

The claim sounded like something from Representative Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) or Rachel Maddow or any number of Russian collusion propagandists: He was not prosecuted for standing up for the president. He was prosecuted for covering up for the president.

Those words, however, were not uttered on MSNBC but rather in a federal courtroom by Amy Berman Jackson, a U.S. district court judge seated in the nation s capital, whose job is to ensure the fair administration of justice based on the rule of law. The he Jackson was referring to is Roger Stone, a Trump confidant; the president, of course, is Donald Trump. 

Now, Stone wasn t charged with covering up for the president nor did the indictment against him suggest as much. There was nothing to cover up as election collusion is a fantasy concocted by the Democrats and the news media. But the Obama-appointee was on a roll; facts, at that point, didn t matter to Jackson. (In a tweet Thursday morning, Schiff echoed Jackson s evidence-free remark, claiming Stone did it to cover up for Trump. )

Her absurd and blatantly political accusation from the bench was just part of Jackson s 40-minute monologue Thursday morning prior to sentencing Stone to 40 months in prison for lying to Congress, obstructing justice, and witness tampering. (The loquacious judge doesn t like competition; she put a gag order on Stone last year that is still in effect.)
