If Stone’s crimes go unpunished, she said, “it will not be a victory for one party or another. Everyone loses … For that reason, the dismay and disgust at the defendant’s belligerence should transcend party.” Earlier this month, the U.S. Attorney for the District of Columbia suggested a seven-to-nine-year sentence for Stone, which drew harsh and immediate criticism from President Trump. “This is a horrible and very unfair situation,” Trump tweeted. “The real crimes were on the other side, as nothing happens to them. Cannot allow this miscarriage of justice!”

Roger Stone Gets 40 Months In Jail While Trump Dangles A Possible PardonThe judge must decide whether to grant Stone another trial before his prison term starts. Looks like Stone got less than half the sentence he would had the sentencing Guidelines been applied strictly. Guess Republicans are in favour of lighter sentences after all - when it’s applied to them.

Roger Stone sentenced to 40 months in prisonRoger Stone, a friend of President Donald Trump and colorful Republican operative, was sentenced to 3 years, 4 months in federal prison Thursday for obstructing a congressional investigation of Russia's 2016 presidential election meddling. Stone will not have to report to prison until the judge acts on a pending defense motion for a new trial, based on a claim of juror bias. Not even 4yrs for this arrogant prick serial criminal. If 99% of us had threatened a witness and defied judges orders on more than one occasion, in a federal case we would be serving double digits. I'm browsing while I await the Presidential pardon.
