    Roger Stone Sentenced

    Stone gets excoriated by Judge and gets sentenced to 40 months.

    Sorry for getting in before those guided only by the "rule of law" who will no doubt be lining up to cheer that justice has been done.

    Can you imagine the uproar here if the "rule of law" was undermined in that manner. That kind of stuff is like catnip to the swamp drainers and I expect them to be all over it if something that appalling happens.

    Obviously with due regard to the 40 month rule I think it's called.

    It's a highly politicised trial that ain't over yet, even if the commie brigade fantasise about innocent people being locked up for their political views.

    The one who has a motion pending for a retrial, but bizarrely got sentence first? The yanks have made a mockery of their legal system

    Roger Stone was found guilty on seven criminal charges of obstruction of an official proceeding, making false statements to Congress (then held by Republicans), and witness tampering.

    The sentencing judge said

    “The truth still exists, the truth still matters, Roger Stone's insistence that it doesn't, his belligerence, his pride in his own lies are a threat to our most fundamental institutions, to the very foundation of our democracy. And if it goes unpunished, it will not be a victory for one party or another.”

    Still it's US Justice that is rotten in locking up the criminals in Trump's orbit whilst Clinton, McCabe, Comey, Page, Awan, Strozk, Lynch, Brennan and all the people called criminals without criminal charge walk the streets freely.

    Why is he so agitated? The President will pardon him.

    Won't he?

    Flynn, PapaD, and no doubt more to come. The whole thing was a manufactured setup, and your boys were having you on. BTW, my opinion of these two is not very high, but they didn't deserve to be treated like this.

    There's always a quote

    It's looking increasingly like a made-up case against an American war hero. For some reason only known to yourself, you continually try to besmirch his good name. Let's hope General Flynn has the last laugh, and you are proved wrong yet again!

    Re: Roger Stone Sentenced

    Mr Stone may have to serve his time as well :

    'If a president has been impeached, he or she loses the power to pardon anyone for criminal offenses connected to the articles of impeachment — and that even after the Senate’s failure to convict the president, he or she does not regain this power.'
