Roger Stone: Trump Likely Saved My Life By Commuting My Sentence | The 11th Hour | MSNBC
He’s going to get covid anyway. He’s old. He has health issues. And as a trump supporter he thinks he’s immune from the virus “hoax”
@E.N.C Network26 Your comment is telling. Donald´s fanatic supporters don’t understand what is obvious. Donald is one big liar, corrupt and a disgusting racist. He refuses people who know the truth about his treason to witness, he gives Roger Stone, also a triator, a free pass to prevent him to reveal the treason Donald has committed. He accuses innocent people for crimes they have not committed, he insults people who are not loyal to him. He blames others for his failures and brags about himself. He denies what he has said about everything that has turned out to be lies. That is how fascist dictators do. Donald does not care about you or anybody else, not America only about himself. I understand you don’t know what fascism is, you need to educate yourself about different political ideologies. Most Americans are very worried about the sad and dangerous situation the lunatic has created and so is most of the world, that is all democracies. Putin loves the division and chaos Donald has created. A weak America is a victory to him, but I don’t think you understand why.
@E.N.C Network26 You are a liar, and stupid.
@sinklairlewis how am I lying
@E.N.C Network26 Sorry, I don’t bother trying to explain anything to imbecilic cultists who live in an alternate reality.
@sinklairlewis I think you’re referring to yourself buddy but keep trying
One criminal commuting another’s sentence.
Sad when all expectations are dashed…seems to be the story of MSNBC…where nothing ever comes true.
Greg ‘… ROGER STONE: By Commuting My Sentence, Trump Saved My Life…” Translation: IF Trump HADN’T Commuted My Sentence BOTH Our CORRUPT Lives of Lies and Luxuries ($Bought To You At Your Expense$) Would Be OVER.
Trump comited worse sexual offence than Bill Cosby but Cosby ended up in prison while trump is in wh the law in America is to enable Europeans
He white cased closed
How can the white middle class be ok with this? ohhhhh wait …. Sounds about right
Roger Stone was Trump’s connection to WikiLeaks. Rick Gates and Steve Bannon both testified under oath in Stone’s trial that Stone was Trump’s link to WikiLeaks, and everyone involved in Trump’s campaign knew about it.
Rick Gates testified under oath in Roger Stone’s trial that he was in the presidential limousine with Trump, and he’d heard Stone tell Trump about the WikiLeaks release of hacked DNC emails before the dump happened — a direct contradiction of what Trump told Mueller in his written testimony. Trump knew about every WikiLeaks release before they happened, but in his written testimony, he claimed he knew nothing about WikiLeaks, or the hacked emails.
October 10, 2016 in Wilkes-Barre, PA: “This just came out,” Trump said. “WikiLeaks, I love WikiLeaks.”
October 12, 2016 in Ocala, FL: “This WikiLeaks stuff is unbelievable,” Trump said. “It tells you the inner heart, you gotta read it.”
October 13, 2016 in Cincinnati, OH: “It’s been amazing what’s coming out on WikiLeaks.”
October 31, 2016 in Warren, MI: “Another one came in today,” Trump said. “This WikiLeaks is like a treasure trove.”
November 4, 2016 in Wilmington, OH: “Getting off the plane, they were just announcing new WikiLeaks, and I wanted to stay there, but I didn’t want to keep you waiting,” said Trump. “Boy, I love reading those WikiLeaks.”
Trump on April 11, 2019, after Julian Assange is arrested:
“I know nothing about WikiLeaks. It’s not my thing, and I know there is something having to do with Julian Assange. I know nothing really about him. That’s not my deal in life.” 😲
Stone’s denials of having any contact with WikiLeaks were obliterated by under oath testimony from people like Gates and Bannon, and a trail of emails and phone records. One message from Aug. 16, 2016, shows Stone telling Bannon on the day he took over as campaign CEO about the prospect that WikiLeaks would drop more damaging documents for the Clinton campaign.
“I have an idea … to save Trump’s @55,” Stone wrote.
July 27, 2016, on national tv, Trump invites Russia to interfere in our elections.
“Russia, if you’re listening, I hope you’re able to find the 30,000 emails that are missing. I think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press.”
5 hours later that same day, the 12 Russian operatives indicted in the special counsel investigation, launched the 1st cyber attack against the DNC.
This was Watergate all over again. Except this time, it was far worse. In this case, it wasn’t Americans physically breaking into the DNC headquarters, it was Russian intelligence officers hacking into the DNC servers. And Trump and his cronies were all in on it.
Three things cannot be long hidden: the sun, the moon, and the truth. And ye shall know the TRUTH, and the truth shall make you free.
RODGER STONE is a FELON, and he belongs in PRISON
I LOVE IT! You certainly have done your homework! Thank You for bringing all of it up again! Please continue to do so. And with the exact dates too.

Poor Roger he actually thinks this is over. He’s not very bright just like Trump. He CAN be prosecuted again.
Both hopefully will share a prison cell.
j welsh it’s just beginning ..he suing hem all
Why didn’t Trump give him a full pardon?? Funny Roger Stone is apparently eagerly awaiting the trial to clear his name…Mueller is shaking in his boots because Andrew Weisman wrote the full report….Mueller didn’t know who Fusion GPS was??? What a master stroke….!
Open overt corruption. And the American CONSTITUTION can do ZERO about it.
Hide and watch
evidenceonlythanx << And the American CONSTITUTION can do ZERO About it. >> you mean the constitution that has been violated and spit upon by rabid democrat traitors for almost 4 years now? that constitution? or the one violated by “quid-pro-quo-Joe” and his able son hunter “burisma” biden? that constitution?
There needs to be some Justice about Roger stone he is a con ..corrupt and he belongs in jail….
Palm Beach sleaze…got the goods on duh Donald ‘s Mara Go Go teen spa
Your country has officially slipped into the abyss
It ain’t over yet. Keep watching.
The law needs to clean up this American presidency Trump team… I enough is enough…
John Dean served as White House counsel to Nixon from 1970 to 73, he was a key figure in the Watergate saga—participating in, and then helping to expose, the most iconic political scandal in modern U.S. history at the time. Back in 2016, Dean said that Trump could easily be the most corrupt presidents ever—and possibly get away with it..
“The American presidency has never been at the whims of an authoritarian personality like Donald Trump,” Dean stated. “He is going to test our democracy as it has never been tested.”
Dean stated that he is not only convinced that Trump will be worse than Nixon in virtually every way—he thinks he could possibly get away with it.
“I used to have one-on-one conversations with Nixon, where I’d see him checking his more authoritarian tendencies,” Dean recalled. “He’d say, ‘This is something I can’t say out loud…’ or, ‘That is something the president can’t do.’” To Dean, these moments suggested a functioning sense of shame in Nixon, something he was forced to wrestle with in his quest for power. Trump, by contrast, appears to Dean, to be unmolested by any such struggle.” Dean went even further in his assessment, stating: “I don’t think Richard Nixon even comes close to the level of corruption we already know about Trump.”
Trump and republicans continue to rage against the Constitution in their ongoing war with our democratic republic. They have made it abundantly clear that we must vote them out of office in order for our democracy to survive.
Absolutely!
If Stone thinks he’s not in many crosshairs every time he leaves his home, that he’s not already a Dead Man Walking, then he’s a complete fool.
@citizenxgen, no threat was made. Report away.
Bwahahaha suuuuure you did KKKomrade DrumpfCockholster, suuuuure you did lmfao!
@citizenxgen explaining statistics from experts isn’t a threat it’s facts plus agencies tend to watch anyone with criminal background nonstop.
@Tim Ivey I would ask them your name and address and tell them to investigate your criminal record
@citizenxgen the Russia complicity was proven by trump by asking Russia to hack the dnc servers and asking them to fin.d an exact number of emails that would contain state secrets. Stone was exposed by testimony from fellow conspirators. Stone is a coward and we know that trump is afraid of the truth. No audit takes 3.5 years to do. Trump has fought for 3.5 years to hide his taxes even violating the tax law that states that the ways and means committee chairman can request anyones taxes for investigation into corruption the law is almost 100 years old and states upon request the agency that has the documents shall provide all documents to the committee. Mnuchin and rettig have failed to do so and shall be removed from office and fined 10,000 dollars or imprisoned for 5yrs or both.the law shouldve been followed to the letter which would have been legally required.
Roger Stone agreed to not throw POTUS under the bus in exchange
Yep. Classic drump MO: quid quo pro.
I’m surprised he mentioned how many Covid-19 cases there are in jail and it could’ve killed him on faux news.
Why didn’t Trump give him a full pardon? I suppose we’ll see in court
@Master Temple Maybe he wanted to be known as a convicted felon.Hes a wealthy weirdo,who knows.# BUCKET LIST
“Trump likely saved my life”….so 1 out of 135,000. Hmph. Same odds a Trump business won’t declare bankruptcy.
If so, Stone is about the only American life trump seems bothered with trying to save in this pandemic.
Guess why… 🙁
@Evert Vandenberghe
Stone about to get Epsteined
Ouch!
Not true. Manafort also not in prison due to the virus…but I guess it’s ok to send our children to school…stone and manafort more important than millions of our children
@Dizzy Duke Fingers crossed!!
When’s Barr going to crown TRUMP KING?
Talk about above the law There are people his age in Prison all over the world…
Yet the average citizen can be jailed for j walking. America is a joke.
One law for the rich another for the poor. Yet justice is blind in the land of the free.
“Rave reviews” this guy still thinks he’s on a reality TV show
To Stone——-“Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
Like hakim Littleton
Don’t worry Roger Stone after November, we are coming for you! Enjoy your four months.
