Discussed Today, In Detail:
'Chutzpah': Trump’s convicted adviser Roger Stone re-emerges before reporting to prison
Convicted Trump aides Michael Flynn and Roger Stone are moving forward in their
fight to avoid jail time. Stone, a former Trump adviser, has recently appeared
on Fox Business News before his scheduled time to report to prison for a three
year term, alleging he and Flynn are the “the subjects of a political vendetta.”
Former Federal Prosecutor John Flannery says Flynn plead guilty and despite the
DOJ’s urging to dismiss, “this special case” is up to the judge to decide, not
Attorney General Barr. Even going to the classic “A Few Good Men” line in
reference to Flynn, “You can’t handle the truth.” Flannery acknowledges the
irony in Stone’s claim that he is “as innocent as Flynn” but reiterates that
Flynn “twice said he was guilty.”

'First responders at risk':
GOP veteran sees Trump gambling with safety at August convention
Less than six months away from the 2020 presidential election, the coronavirus
pandemic has threatened a key tradition in American politics – the party
convention. In an interview with MSNBC Chief Legal Correspondent Ari Melber,
Former GOP Strategist Mike Murphy argues Trump “needs a room full of adoring
supporters” but adds a the decision to hold a convention is “tough in the
pandemic era, even as we slowly start to open up.” Murphy says the “next big
campaign fight” if Republicans attempt to hold a convention, Democrats will
argue Trump and his party “are putting cops and first responders at risk by
trying to put 10,000 people in an area in Charlotte” at the August RNC.
