WFB: CNN senior political analyst David Gergen suggested on the air Tuesday that Roger Stone, an associate of President Donald Trump, was concerned about being raped in prison.
Stone was indicted in January as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation for making false statements about the extent of his coordination with WikiLeaks during the 2016 election. Stone landed himself in even hotter water over the weekend after posting an Instagram photo of the judge overseeing his case over crosshairs.
Gergen, a former advisor to Republican and Democratic presidents alike, told “Erin Burnett OutFront“ guest host Kate Bolduan that Stone’s post was an “act of utter stupidity,” noting that the judge in question was an Obama appointee who had already thrown the book at Trump associate Paul Manafort.
“Paul Manafort could well die in jail,” Gergen said. “He’s a crumpled man. We’ve now heard harrowing tales of what’s happening to him in prison, how his life has changed, how lonely, how depressed he is.”
Stone, he argued, “must also worry if he goes there, he’s seen as something of a dandy. Will he be physically safe? Will he be subject to rape?” watch
I pray for the day when Robert Mueller finds himself in the same situation.
Later, David Rodham Gergin bent over Jeff Zucker’s desk and took one for the team, democrat style.
Not really news. Just gossip. Gergin is an asshole.
Mr. Gergen, may you be stricken with aphasia.
The amazing “news” that I miss by never watching CNN!
Gergen, be careful what you wish on others.
You got a purty mouth
History is replete with such miscarriages of Justice.
Including, when the people are so abused by miscreants in power, get their comeupance when they see their abusers’ heads rolling down the gutter.
OTOH, the President can pardon the wrongly imprisoned to make room for traitors, journalists, ‘analysts’, and other misanthropes.
The Left absolutely hates Trump and anyone or anything associated with him, don’t they?
You’d think they’d keep quiet about it, or at least keep it to themselves in private, but they never miss the chance to have and express some evil fantasy they whenever they can and for any possible reason.
BTW, the Left includes many Republicans as well as Democrats, but the Republicans are usually more subtle in how they express things than the Democrats.
Trump must pardon these men before it goes much further.

Many years ago before I decided to quit financing the spew of people who hate me and America in general, I had directv and tuned to fox for news, gergen was on there often. He was a shitpickle then and seems to have doubled down on the shitpickleness since.
Gergen was, and still is, a bag lady for the Clintons!
Say what you will about Trump, I don’t see him trafficking in prison rape fantasies. That seems to be a pastime for the principled, well-mannered nevertrumpers who deride Trump as a boor.
The current state of American “journalism”.
How can you tell if Bill Clinton has been in your house?
You catch David Gergen cleaning up, dummy.
Somebody said it first
I thought “r@pe” (maybe not “r@pe-r@pe” — but definite “r@pe”) of white (not “white-other”) men, was the White House (even though Trump claims not he, himself — “stuff” just happens) official policy?
I thought “rape” (maybe not “rape-rape” — but definite “rape”) of wh!te (not “wh!te-other”) men, was the Trump White House (even though Trump claims not he, himself — “stuff” just happens) official policy?
Commenting on the news for a rewarding pat on the head.
Nothing is going to happen to Stone. Gergen on the other hand is more likely to encounter something big, mean and merciless just walking the streets at night looking for his, er never mind. Stone is likely to be there long enough for Mueller’s smoke and mirrors investigation to return nothing and Trump starts to pardon people caught in this witch hunt.
