It is a sad day for free speech. I don't know the details of what Roger stone allegedly did, but ultimately whatever his role was regarding wikileaks and the hillary clinton email dump could land him 50 years. I hear things about false statements that obstructed linking trump to the Russians, for which the Mueller report found no such Russian interference-and finding a cell phone that held old records he once testified that he didn't have the copies of but otherwise testified to the contents of the records. I am not aware of any material harm for a charge-let alone a conviction-of false statements. The harm didn't even reach a level of speculative harm; the Mueller report debunked any such claims of harm. but i don't think it mattered if the intent was the democrats sending a message to the president and his allies through sacrificing his important allies; if you support him, if you do pro-trump journalism [we are seeing fox news increasingly anti-trump], then prepare to be disappeared. Something we seen Big tech do to his other allies through their own methods upon top conservative talent like Milo, Alex Jones, Laura Loomer, Paul Joseph Watson, Sargon of the UK, and many others. This is why you don't fight wars purely defensively, all that happens if you lose territory until you end up losing everything. Infowars, last I heard, may close in a year. Just about everyone experienced a huge lost not just in audience but also sponsorship, Loomer reported losing 90% of her income. Which begs the question, where are all these "big bad capitalist" to defend or advance these journalist?

Stone was given an Obama Judge far far away from his Florida home. The heart of D.C. which is perhaps just as bad as San Franscisco itself in terms of ideological intolerance of conservatives. The only republican was struck as a potential jurist, while Obama national security agents were ok'd by the judge. Countless unconstitutional gags were issued that prevented a fair pre-trial. If there was other judicial misconduct in the pre-trial, we'd have to assume that was gagged save for people with the money to dig through PACER. I know I am invisible out there, but the U.K. courts must not release Assange to US custody. It's basically a death sentence if he is put in our kangaroo court system.

Then planned parenthood scored a 2.2 million dollar verdict against investigative journalist in San Franscisco. The Obama Judge, a friend of planned parenthood, in the case who issued unconstitutional prior restraints, and suppressed evidence vital to the journalist defense. Clearly a freedom of the press issue, but Orrick, who refused to recuse himself, ensured that the star chamber did its thing which is to convict upon any accusation.

Many, including Stone, are petitioning Trump issues a pardon for Roger Stone-it also shows that they don't have much faith in the federal appellate court. Trump personally doesn't like that Stone was convicted, but I don't think that a pardon is likely for another year due to the election cycle. As far as the civil case, that will have to be resolved in appeals. Just a few hundred thousand more in legal bills, and the end result may be to spend a few hundred thousand more for a new trial. But at least the abortionist won't get the money. Or, it might be easier for the journalists to say beep the United states and their corrupt judiciary, take their money, and leave-leaving planned parenthood to pay their own legal fees.

I've had issues with a Obama Judge too hostile to speech, she had conflicts of interest, and she refused to recuse themselves, which is now before an international Body.

We've also seen abuses in the Bundy ranch cases with Obama judges and vindictive prosecutors. Only the Bundy's beat their case, and the conduct of the government officials so bad that even the corrupt Obama judges had to dismiss the case,

These are not isolated incidences. Not all Obama judges are bad, but we are clearly seeing a pattern.There are numerous cases at the state courts of vindictive judges and government officials at Christians that follow their faith. Even the federal courts are targeting the nuns again, even after the scotus defended their rights. https://catholiccitizens.org/news/89323/federal-court-forces-little-sisters-of-the-poor-to-fund-abortions-under-obamacare-mandate/

It's getting really bad in the USA. The constitution leaves the people only one remedy to deal with crooked judges when the congress is unable to do so. At some point, especially if we lose 2020, we have to stop playing defensively. There is a war going on, and all we've (and yes I can include myself, even if I don't include my audience in the word "we") been is sacrificial animals. Conservatives and libertarians (and others erroneously labeled as such) need to wake up to the fact that we will be sacrificed the very moment we are falsely accused-that there is no such thing as beating an accusation even if we do beat it on paper. We've seen a prelude of this through the feminist movement, especially in our universities. We see it taking place in our federal courts and our state courts with no accountability. They can rinse and repeat and do it again without hesitation or consequence.

The civil war has already started, and it is pretty one sided, narrow in scope, and targeted at conservative/libertarian movers/doers, and illicitly using existing political machinery, with malicious actors hiding behind court created qualified and absolute immunity. Prepare to flight if you love peace. If you plan to stay, prepare to be put through hell.
