A TALKING STONE
If rocks could talk Roger Stone could sing like a jaybird. The scenario goes like this, Stone’s clemency declaration by Trump allows him to still claim his 5th amendment rights and this will stand, however, there is a way to make him sing or go to jail.
Roger Stone was convicted of 9 felony counts, among which are witness tampering, lying to congress and lying to the Muller investigation, all to hide his relationship with Julian Assange, Wikileaks, and the Russian connection. His testimony would corroborate other testimony that showed Trump was aware of the activity. Stone’s testimony could show Trump lying to Muller with Trump’s written testimony.
The scenario goes like this, congress gives Stone immunity from prosecution and thereby nullifying the 5th amendment protections he could have maintained. This would compel him to sing or go to jail for contempt, or if he lies he can also go to jail. This only works without Trump as President.
It has been a travesty of justice how this president has managed to let all his cronies and low-life’s get out scot-free, while he is continuing to attempt to discredit the Muller investigation and everything associated with it. This could continue if Trump remains in office with no justice. Trump running as the ”law and order president” is laughable. Trump has been lawless and lacks any moral compass.
Trump seems to think the episode with Stone is over. This could work, if there is the stomach for it in congress to finally get to the bottom of why Trump impeded justice with obstruction efforts. Was he not only open to but coordinating with Russia?
LET THERE BE HOPE
There is some light at the end of the tunnel. There are six reasons for hope in this war on the Corvid-19 virus.
- The advent of mediation with Therapeutics. This therapy will be the salvation prior to the vaccine being distributed. Remdesivir as an antiviral, other trial drugs
- The development of rapid low-cost saliva test. This would be like taking a pregnancy test giving instant results. Game changer needs $ for development.
- Masks. Masks work see #4 Below…
- Knowing the virus is airborne only reinforces the need for mandatory mask usage.
- The past exposure to the Coronavirus may help in producing antibodies for Covid-19, which may help with the severity of the infection.
- The silver bullet – a vaccine. The news on a vaccine has been cautious and appears to be improving with news of the Moderna vaccine trials using 45 individuals as guinea pigs. The only minor side effects such as muscle soreness and pain, similar responses to flu shots, were only present in higher doses.
With a vaccine after third stage trials, if deemed safe will be distributed and by mid 2021 it is estimated over half of the population will be vaccinated. The initial issue of vaccine will go to doctors, hospitals, emergency EMT workers, firemen and then the most vulnerable with pre-existing conditions. The infrastructure necessary, including syringes and vaccine, needs to be in place when the go-ahead is given by the FDA.
