Judge Rebuffs Trump, Sends Adviser Roger Stone To Prison For Three Years | MSNBC
“Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth.”
– Buddha
James McCabe ya gotta take into consideration that I could care less what he does as it has no affect on how I eat, sleep or get paid soooooo 🤫
J Washburn
Then don’t vote if you don’t care. Why are you watching this video?
Yes. But one of those can be denied, the truth.
James McCabe didn’t watch it. Just listenin and lookin at the libs cry and eatin popcorn 🍿
@J Washburn you don’t care about politics, you close your eyes when Trump does something wrong, and you wish to remain ignorant of what’s going on. That makes sense for a blind Trump supporter to do.
Stone after sneezing: “pardon me.”
Trump : “ok”
R Gerard it’s all part of the same exam.
Stone has famously said that he is “try-sexual”. If it’s sexual, he says he’s tried it. I think he’s going to be doing graduate study on this. He’s gonna get an education.
@fallen alpha If you have Coronavirus it is.
@R Gerard If you say so then, sure…
Trump should. Trump can.
The judges comments indicates to me that she’ll REJECT Stone’s request for a new trial.
Chris Roberts just shhh 🤫 junior.
@majtom58 well there has already been 9 investigations and either Trump is actually innocent or every anti Trump person on the planet is compleatly incompetent. Our own FBI and CIA colluded with foreign agents and governments to get HRC elected and failed. They tried to set him up for impeachment and failed.
Some people would begin to think the TV has lied to you for 3 years and the reason they cant find ANY EVIDENCE TRUMP COMMITTED ANY CRIME in office or while campaigning is because it doesnt exist. Or dems are idiots.
I’m pretty sure that Roger Stone won’t give a step in prison, because he has his pal president Trump.
Amen
Good. Trump 2020 Landslide.
@Ed Ho I’ve lost faith in humanity with knowin that people can be this stupid! When right wingers want democrats to be prosecuted. But say nothing to republicans crimes! Hypocrite trash!
lmao, a lot less then 7 to 9 years! Funny how things work out!!!
I am angry that he gets only over 3 years for 7 serious crimes.
Zeke if that actually worked there would be no crime by now!
Mike M I already have a long commute.
But, ok. Pardon Stone now. That would be fun.
“Stoned” philosophy
Sure would be a shame if he got Epstein’d…
he’s probably the killer.
LOL. He will if Trump doesn’t Pardon him because Stone runs his mouth too much.
I’ve known people who are serving 10 years for a $3 joint.
@kissmyaass1 Quit spreading bs info saying murderers are serving less than 3 yrs
@Nathan Morgan Oh yeah….who would that be?
You know what Fox news and that modern day gangster occupying the White House? A fat KFC eating slob. Get somewhere!
This is why the criminals justice system had to be reformed
3 years you have people with 3 years who got busted with marijuana!!
I am angry that he only gets 3 years for the 7 serious crimes.
@kissmyaass1 Your dad ?
@kissmyaass1 yea if they are white
🤔 wasn’t the maximum sentence 8+years?
FAKE DOSSIER,,,
Here comes the pardon.
Should’ve been 9 years.
Explain
@Mac Dietz you
Why did not this judge sentence Stone the the original 7 to 9 years. And Stone is still not in proson. Why is Stone not in prison?
@Nunya Business Politically, she may not be able to. But judges have a long history of following their own drummer. We define her as having courage for sentencing Stone to 40 months. However,, she could have sentenced him to the original sentence,,, or she could have remanded him the the custody of the prison system,, while awaiting resolution of appeals. I doubt that Stone will serve a single day. He will appeal it to death,, 7 or 12 years from now,, he will die of natural causes. Or much more likely Trump will pardon him.
I do wonder what charges Trump will face after he leaves office. His immunity on personal affronts, expires with the swearing in of the next president, 1 year or 5 years from now. It could be very interesting.
Sailor376also 3 years is forever to a guy like that with no record. I’d be crying if I had to go for a weekend.
@johnny whatthefuck We are not so far apart then,, just degree.
she’s a nasty hateful liberal and should be removed from the justice system
@Jeff Hershey Hey, Jeff. Tucker Carlson receives his salary from a foreign national. Think about it.
Let’s see who gets the last laugh here. That man remembers who fuked him.
He wasn’t sent to prison. After the hearing, he went to dinner as his attorneys filed for the new trial. Crappy reporting.
He is on bail but can’t talk in public? Why not? This judge is such a nasty menopausal bytch.
Judge Jackson, two words: Good move.
Should have been more years, but 3 years is better than none.
Put everyone you hate in prison forever, right?
She hasn’t sent him anywhere at the moment. Put him in prison until his appeal go through. That’s the way it works for the rest of us.
she cant has a good spanking coming. she fail to take care of a jury formam problem
The travesty is this administration and everyone in it.
They forgot to add a “zero” on that sentence…
As in him being sentenced with 400 months rather than 40…
When you have Crooks in charge they will do what they’re going to do to protect their own this is way the Mafia wars Trump is Mafia
