Gods grace and mercy upon him and release hom FATHER in your grace AMEN

Just look at him..physical threats come get real

Just look at Srone and tell me he is

No jail time ' another political prisoner' $$$$$$$$$😇😇😇😇😇

imagining a judge thinking witness tampering os bad😂😂

Except that the victim of the alleged threat disagrees. What level of kangaroo justice system is that? There’s no victim.

Just a coincidence this judge presided over other Trump trials?

He will never be pardoned 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Thanks to the smart Mueller😏 Cases are open in NY, VA and DC! Guess what a PRESIDENT CANNOT intervene in state cases! If Stone is pardoned. The state of New York will pick up the case and throw the book at him. Justice

Throw his ass in jail and keep a cell open with realDonaldTrump name on it.

According to the constitution a statute is not law 🙂

Trump will pardon him.

LATEST: Judge Jackson blasts Roger Stone for his out-of-court conduct ahead of his trial, specifically social media posts that criticized the court, the judge, and the government prosecutors. Live updates:

Too bad they won't let him have them glasses in his jail cell.. I'm sure his cell mate would love that..

Happy Roger Stone sentencing/pardoning day! 😂

LoL

This is a political assassination of Roger Stone. Trump will comune the crime against this great Patriot of America and Stone will get his Justified Pardon ! The Bolshevik Communist Judge Jackson will be removed as a Federal Judge. What does Trump say?....Your Fired !

Disgusting human

. I hope Judge Amy Berman delays sentencing to stop Trump from a victory in setting a criminal free. NancyPelosi AdamSchiff JudgeAmyBermanJackson ImpeachTrumpAgain RudyGiulianiThugLife JohnRobertsNoWitnessJudge WhiteHouse GOP MAGA FBR

Republicans are just criminals at this point.

Lock him up

What a surprise a CorruptDemocrats judge siding with Mueller Hoax shyster lawyers. I see a pardon coming,and dems heads exploding! Lol

Scumbag realDonaldTrump will pardon his crook friend at the end of the day. Really sad times in America

Stupid Judge. There was no witness tampering. Even the so called person Stone texted messaged said it was not witness tampering. This judge needs to be disbarred and removed.

Roger Stone co conspirator is also the President of the United States.

Judge Jackson in the Stone case: 'For those of you who are new to this ... & became persuaded that the guidelines were harsh, I can assure you that defense attorneys & many judges have been making that point ... But we don't usually succeed in getting the gov't to agree.

Banana republic.. tainted jury

LATEST: Judge Jackson addresses the sentencing memorandum controversy in perfunctory terms—noting the existence of both the case prosecutors' original recommendation and the subsequent DOJ recommendation of a much shorter sentence.

Hope he get more time than the original prosecutors recommended

Junebug: Dog, as we say in South Carolina, that Boy is dressed to the nines.

Which Trump will just pardon.

Selective justice in America. Shame

It's doesn't matter; Trump will pardon him.

IF you pay any attention to political attacks by the “System” this is it. Eric Holder...lied Bill Clinton...lied Hillary Clinton...lied Susan Rice...lied James Comey...lied ITs a long list. NONE of them were charged in a court of law. BUT Stone...ask why him?

Bet you he gets pardoned 20 minutes after he is sentenced.

The president should PardonRogerStone today

I hope Judge Berman gives him the max. As much for his crimes as much as to show the judiciary will not be intimidated or bullied by the Executive branch.

MORE: In the weeks leading up to his sentencing hearing, Stone's lawyers twice made last-ditch efforts to get a new trial by raising issues with at least two jurors.

FreeRealityWinner

He will go free because of the botched hit job by the left.

I bet the ones holding the banner worshipped Charles Manson.
