The Roger Stone Trial

[Sea Ray]

3 years 4 months in prison.

He will get his pardon within the next 24 hours. He's been a good boy.

He'll probably get it after the election, in time to spend the holidays a free man

Ummmm.... the debt under Trump is exploding upward

And when hasn't it? Certainly not the prior eight years.

Frankly, with estimates of unfunded debt as high as $200T, our "national debt" is small potatoes. For decades there has been no will in congress or executive to deal with it, and we - the people - are to blame. I think financial collapse may have to occur, and may be inevitable.

WHOMP WHOMP!

Barr was right; mob was wrong.

Roger Stone should be pardoned in the next month because this was a witch hunt trying to persecute anyone connected with President Trump.

That hat looks good on Putin . That was the meme he sent to me , so I would vote against Hillary.

I don’t think I have shared my opinion on the matter but you just go ahead and make assumptions. I don’t think highly of the judge or of Stone. You and others constantly blame people for making false claims on here but you do the exact same thing. Enjoy your hypocrisy, heck embrace it.

You did share your opinion, see post 998: "Well if the judge said it, it had to be true. SMDH"

You were calling the Judge a liar based on absolutely nothing but your political bias.

Barr wasn't right, the judge just went with his recommendation. You know the recommendation of the Attorney General. You should at least recognize it for what it is, a politically motivated lighter sentence that the normal joe would get.

 

[volinbham]

Seems like the sentence is appropriate. Hope there's not a pardon but that will have to wait until the appeal about the trial is completed.

You're suggesting the judge only did this because of Barr? She's independent and it was her call all along.

Barr was right that the prosecution recommendation was egregious. Judge confirmed via handing down a reasonable sentence.

Original prosecutors were way out of line in their recommendation.

Save it for the lawyers and "Professionals" that disagree with Barr, which is almost all of them.

And yet the result was, what?

I don't see Mayor Pete pardoning him, but who knows.

1. You are now accusing the judge of being controlled by Barr
2. You are conflating reaction to HOW Barr handled this situation with whether or not the original recommendation of 7-9 was appropriate. Most of the disagreement is with how; not with the substance of the recommendation.

 

[Mick]

And yet the result was, what?

Guilty.

 

[37L1]

Guilty.

What was the end result regarding sentencing?

 

[Tennesseefan2019]

What was the end result regarding sentencing?

According to the BBC Roger Stone was sentenced to 40 months in prison

1 not a bit.
2 I'm not conflating anything. the original recommendation was inline with previous sentences for such crimes. You're just trying to conflate it.

The joke is on you since this is exactly what he would want you to say.

1. When you say she chose the sentence because that's what Barr recommended your are saying that
2. The original recommendation was NOT in line with previous sentences for such crimes for someone with no criminal history. It simply wasn't and plenty of people have pointed that out.

What joke ? If it wasn’t for that meme I wouldn’t have voted against Hillary . Well there were others but that one pushed me over the edge .

1. No I didn't. She did what most judges would do when the Attorney General makes a recommendation. Not what you want to characterize as "being Controlled by Barr".

That's not how they come up with sentencing. You think if they'd stuck with 7 -9 she'd do that?

That's not Russian Propaganda you were looking at, and you didn't vote for Hillary. You're just being foolish.
