Judge Decides Not To Delay Roger Stone's Sentencing | Craig Melvin | MSNBC
I was the judge would give him 20 years that would send a message to trump
motown 313 you are assuming they give the least little sh*t about the law. That is not the case, unless they can use it to harm a foe.

Tom Crow pardon criminals? What’s wrong with our president.
@Therese Martin . I believe my fellow Trump supporters have educated you on that.🙄
He needs to pardon Stone so he can move information from WikiLeaks 😆 cause his Twitty doesn’t help.
Trump is a true definition of an authoritarian president, he’s the most corrupt president ever.
@Sperup AD I will not go on the defense,know matter how hard you try.Trump is the best president in the history of our country,and that’s that.
everyone lies but Trump lies is much better than democrats.
@tuhanpham Chinese people like rice.
@I.P. DAILY Look whose commenting, facts matter.
That’s a abuse of power
The president and attorney general getting involved into a criminal trial case.
@freewilly1193 so Pelosi and her rat pack don’t abuse power or u just see what u want to see
What, do you care about stone now? Or is this just about trump?
This guy’s committed hardcore crime with a foreign country obstruction of justice treason. And just because they’re white they get the ,white privilege ,easy sentence. Unbelievable obstruction of justice with a foreign man I guess we wish there was the firing squad this is totally 1000 percent… unacceptable…….
That’s just pathetic.👎🏻👎🏻 if it be you or I we wouldn’t see daylight and would have been arrested along time back period!🤬
I guess it’s ok for Comey, McCabe to lie to congress while leaking classified info. Where is the outrage in that? Treat them all by the same standard
7 to 9 years is the guideline. Nothing saying the judge HAS to stay inside the lines. How about 10 years? Is that OK? Sounds good to me.
And he still gets pardoned.
@M. Mangredi He did not lie to Congress nor was he under oath. Yuge difference!
@Leanne Griffith all of these sentences would be concurrent. Stone was convicted of 7 crimes. The guidelines for the worst crime state 7 to 9 years, 20 maximum. It would be closer to 50 years if the sentences had to be served consecutively.
@Leanne Griffith But he is president. Which is sad in it self.
Lock him up. More facts that prove Russia put Orange Hitler in the WH.
@Michael Michael Duh. You really are that stupid? Really?
@Rod Try reading the Mueller report. Get a Dem to help you with the big words
Michael Michael There is total interference coming from some where after missile attack on Iran and what happed that day well the next day it was blocked totally from any network.From that I could clearly see there are people who would prefer people don’t know the real truth
Michael Michael why do you stand by a person who divides your country.Not my country yours ask yourself this question.
STONE should get LIFE in Prison or Hang for TREASON……
Ideal world scenario; judge throws the book at him, literally. A really big, thick, heavy book, that knocks that hawk-beak back into Stone’s stupid face.
Bluevember is coming
Even IF, he gets 7-10 years, he’ll be going to a low security federal camp.
He’ll be protected from harm, even at the camp.
But he’s Still going to be incarcerated. Away from family. Until the orange hump commutes his sentence
Robert Piekosz You really will fill your liberal diaper when Trump pardons him completely! 🤣
Meanwhile…
❄#45✳ threw *ANOTHER ‘twittyfeed tantrum’* today, *WHINING* about how unfair *everyone’s* been to him. 👶
Poor put-upon lil’ Prezzy… 🤣
@Robert Piekosz Unless he gets Epsteined
@Clinton Pachingel Not in your wildest dreams, Jethro.
If this a regular person. We wouldn’t have the privilege of reporting to prison …we would automatically go right then ..that day
Except Stone ISN’T a “regular” person. He’s a political prisoner caught in the maw of Deep State “lawfare” jaws. Sleep well, though, son, your President will make things right.
@mitchellkarera B$!!!!!
@mitchellkarera Great. Trump’s going to resign immediately? That’d be great
So, “juror taint” is still a serious factor but Trump and Barr interfering with the justice process isn’t? Good to know there’s a line… somewhere…
@rob2508 Mob Boss. No kinda president.
Clearly you need an ethics class.
@rob2508 It ain’t the President.
Everyone has a right to a fair jury and any objective person can see they are trumped up charges, no one believes the faux outrage
Not since watergate have we seen such a gross intervention in the judiciary
@Antonio Montana
Claro. La Gran Partido Viejo siempre ha constitido en ladrones y timadores. También había Arbustito. 👎
@grodhagen Arbustito = Bush Jr.? It was actually Bush Sr. Who was involved in the Iran-contra scandal!!!
@Antonio Montana .
I mean even Jr. has his scandals, namely the Iraq War and the deregulation of wall Street Bankers that led to the great crash of 2008. All REPUBLICANS do something scandalous.
Now trying to say a “Tainted jury”. Yeah, the jurors were all honest and followed the law. How dare they.
If he doesn’t get time in prison, this is a mockery. Witness tampering is an attack on the Court! No judge will go easy on that.
@Ecoscienceczar ROFL “They”. You are even imitating your God Trump now by using the same method of fabrication. Another sock puppet for my blocked list.
7 – 9 years is a lite sentence. 15 – 20 years is appropriate.
Seems people who vandalize public property such as Antifa should be jailed for life. New Dumbrats Rule
@Colin JamesGee, that’s funny. I though the republicunts won the last election. I hope ANTIFA doesn’t find your trailer park!
The Judge could save this country by giving him a 7 year sentence, otherwise…. This countries rule of law is dead.
Agree. Trump is unequivocally the dreaded Antichrist – he and his followers are the antithesis of Jesus’ life and teachings. They have no desire for the Truth and have willingly sold their souls to the devil.
He was a corrupt businessman who left a trail of failures wherever he went and now he’s a corrupt politician who will leave the US with massive debts.
Elly Davis trump or Stone?
trump. Conman, liar, criminal, traitor.
@Dan Schulte Well, there you go, I needed to be more specific didn’t I? 🙂 I actually meant Trump but yeah it could just as easily apply to Stone too.
Dan Schulte Trump
The judge can hand down the maximum sentence if she wants – give that treasonous coward and traitor 10-20 yrs
Wow. 10-20 years? That is one Hangin’ Judge! What do you think she’d give a REALLY criminal POS like Hillary Clinton?
The max sentence is something like 50 years. The deal the resigned prosecutors gave was already a sweetheart deal.
@Lyle Gardner How is any time at all a “sweetheart deal” for an innocent man?
@mitchellkarera the inference in your question is beneath contempt.
Ask the guy sitting in prison for pot how long he’s been there already.
lol so the dude convicted of witness tampering is crying about a potentially “biased” juror
do they need more time to “un-bias” them?
That POS should have been in jail after his witness tampering
To quote the president’s most fervent supporters: “Lock him up!!”
