Really, there was nothing opaque or out of the ordinary about this process, other than, perhaps, bad lawyering.

Roger Stone is guilty. The time suggested by the prosecutors was way over the top.
Now, let's do Comey and Clapper for lying to Congress.

Stone already petitioned the judge to do that and the judge said no.
And, now that evidence of a lack of impartiality on the part of the foreperson has been revealed along with the fact that one juror was a member of the Obama admin, this decision should be revisited.
No, the attorneys at the time had the opportunity to knock the jurors our during the selection process. Apparently none of these people hid their employment or views. Having sat as a juror and potential juror a number of times, I know the questions the judge and attorneys ask, it all would have been disclosed.
And, the defense objected to accepting these jurors. They TRIED to have them knocked out. The judge allowed them to be jurors. Tell me how this works again........
