Roger Stone moves to have judge recuse herself for praising 'integrity' of jurors

As former Trump aide Roger Stone seeks a new trial, his attorneys now argue the presiding judge in his case must recuse herself while raising concerns about her partiality.

Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee, praised the jury during Stone's sentencing on Thursday for multiple crimes, including lying to the House Intelligence Committee, obstruction of a congressional investigation, and witness tampering. In a filing late Friday, Stone's team took issue with the way Jackson commended them, though she did not refer to any specific juror.

"The issue at hand arises from the Defendant's pending Motion for a New Trial ... and statements made by Judge Berman-Jackson during the Defendant's Sentencing Hearing on February 20, 2020. Stone's argument for a new trial rests on newly discovered information indicating there there was juror misconduct during Mr. Stone's trial, thereby depriving him of his constitutional right to be tried by an impartial jury. Defendant's Motion has not been ruled on, and in fact, the Defendant's Reply to the Government's Opposition is not yet due, nor has a hearing been set," the motion for judicial disqualification from Stone's lawyers said.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Roger Stone pursue this all the way the the Supreme Court, where Chief Justice Robert will have to consider whether their are "Obama Judge" who have their thumbs on the scale of justice for a sinister political purpose.
