In his closing argument Wednesday, Roger Stone’s lawyer, Bruce Rogow, told the jury that there is really nothing to the government’s case against his client. “Much of this case, you have to ask, ‘So what?'” Rogow said.
Prosecutors offered an answer on Wednesday. Assistant US Attorney Michael Marando bluntly asked jurors to reject Rogow’s dismissal.
“So what? So what?” Marando asked, with what seemed like real indignation. “If that’s the state of affairs that we’re in, I’m pretty shocked. Truth matters. Truth still matters, okay.”
Prosecutors Just Rested Their Case Over Roger Stone’s Lies: “Truth Matters”
"The great ACLU", "the progressive ACLU" . . . You'd think the ACLU was God the way you guys go on about it. I say what the ACLU gives it takes away far, far more.
Mr. Rogow has served as a consultant to lawyers and legal aid organizations, and as an expert witness on attorneys’ fees; has lectured to judges and lawyers; writes, and has been President of the Legal Aid Society of Broward County, Florida, and Special Counsel for the American Civil Liberties Union Foundation of Florida
From his faculty CV which I have to say, is ridiculously long and detailed. Bit full of himself, I'd say.
Considering what Roger Stone is known to have done, by his own bragging admission, who he did it for and on behalf of, any lawyer who could say "so what" about it is the definition of a scumbag. Lots of the ones who have worked at the ACLU have fit into that definition.
