A federal judge sentenced Roger Stone — a longtime GOP operative and confidante to President Trump — just over three years in prison for lying to Congress about Wikileaks-related matters in the House’s Russian election interference probe.
Thank you, Judge Jackson for not being intimidated by the Toddler-in-Tweet.
But the Democrats are the corrupt party.

Forty months for covering up criminal activity by the President of the United States. Imagine if he committed a real crime, like covering up for a bank robber. Forty months? No way.
The quote that Stone and Trump should both have engraved on their tombstones.
The headlines should read “Federal Judge Implicates Trump in Coverup by Stone”
Instead the headline will likely read more like:
“Indignant and Feisty Trump Says Stone Sentence Very Unfair.”
Or something like that. It will happen.
So he got less than half the 7 years prosecutors suggested as a minimum, but we’re to believe the sentence wasn’t effected by the DOJ shitshow? Thanks to the judge for at least not completely giving in.
At my age, close to Stone’s, I wouldn’t want to spend close to 3.5 years in the slammer.
Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.

Given his age, all things considered that sounds like the right result.
Trump will start screaming in 3…2…1.
IANAL but it seems to me that 40 months, as opposed to 7-9 years, especially in the context of the Judge’s detailed deconstruction of Roger’s specious claims, makes a retrial less likely, and a pardon more hazardous for Fatass.
I’d say ABJ did good.
She should’ve given him an additional 40 months for jerking her around.
40 months seems a tad light, but there was still a clear message sent to to the Trump Crime Family.
He’ll pardon him anyways, because he can.
Doubt that he will spend anywhere near that much time, the presidential pardon is being drafted as we speak. Might even be a TwoFer with Mannyforto.
40 months…compared to: Crystal Mason was sentenced to five years in prison last year for voting illegally in the 2016 presidential election
" Roger Stone Sentenced To 40 Months In Prison"
TRUTH ! Words of Michael Cohen.
““I did the same thing that you’re doing now for 10 years. I protected Mr. Trump for 10 years,” he said. “The more people that follow Mr. Trump, as I did blindly, are going to follow the same consequences that I’m suffering,” he said.”
Agreed. The sentence is possibly irrelevant if Trump bypasses the justice system. But that’s on him and his sidetoady, Barr.
You probably wouldn’t lie to Congress or threaten a judge, either, unless it was to protect this web site
