Trump is normalizing it like always and the media talks about it and gives him all the information and free lawyering he needs to legitimize it.
I love how these people have the moral authority to advocate a death sentence for Roger Stone. When they would never hold anyone on the left to the same standard. What about John Brennan and James clapper? They both lied to Congress about issues of national security and importance Roger Stone lied about talking to a comedian and he’s the one that gets the light sentence. Absolute hypocrisy by the mainstream media and the left at its finest.
kinjay 21 no one is saying that he should be executed. are you stupid?
Stone threatened a judge. If he gets 9 years, he deserves more.
So the new norm. We only get 7 or less years for lying to a federal grand jury.
Rapists get 4-6 yrs. So which is worse?
Yeah he sure learned his lesson Susan! LMFAO Once a crook always a crook! And an impeached failed crook! LMFAO
Marilyn Reallon What part of the Constitution do You not like? What part of Not Guilty can You not comprehend? LIYF!
@Steven Hughes no documents, no witnesses allowed to testify = no trial, = no acquittal.

Where’s Rachel Maddow’s segment tying this to Russia and Putin. I know it’s coming and I hate cliffhangers.

We need massive action to stop this clear movement toward authorianism.
