It’s a GOOD START



WASHINGTON (AP) — Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence President Donald Trump’s confidant Roger Stone to serve between 7 and 9 years in prison after his conviction on witness tampering and obstruction charges.

Stone, who is scheduled to be sentenced next week, was convicted in November of a seven-count indictment that accused him of lying to Congress, tampering with a witness and obstructing the House investigation into whether the Trump campaign coordinated with Russia to tip the 2016 election.

He was the sixth Trump aide or adviser to be convicted of charges brought as part of special counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Prosecutors said in their sentencing memorandum on Monday that Stone “decided to double — and triple — down on his criminal conduct by tampering with a witness for months in order to make sure his obstruction would be successful.”

2. Off to the greatest page

RFN!

[gopiscrap]

3. should be life

[reACTIONary]

14. He's 67....

... nine year might be life.

[Delmette2.0]

4. 7-9 is more appropriate.

5. the russian asset will give him a pardon so that he keeps his mouth shut

[JDC]

12. I agree

[shanti]

18. That's why they don't seem worried

Flynn too. Barr plans to drag their sentencing out until Trump pardons them. I doubt they'll serve any time. The reason Manafort is kicking it in prison is that he was busted before Barr came on the scene. He is a wicked man.

6. I wonder if our russian asset will even wait for the sentencing to pardon. He didn't in Arpio's case

[George II]

7. His cellmate is going to just love that Richard Nixon tattoo between his shoulder blades.

20. Not a good post

[slumcamper]

8. Plenty of time to write his book. n/t

[Zorro]

9. And he'll title it "Mein Trumpf"

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

10. So will Trump pardon him?

Remember it was Bill Barr who encouraged daddy Bush to pardon those convicted in Iran/Contra.

[scarletwoman]

11. I wonder that, too.

I wouldn't be surprised. Trump could give him a Medal of Freedom, to top it off.

[TeamPooka]

21. he knows he can do anything and the GOP won't stop him. He will pardon all if he wins in Nov.

13. Time to sing!!! That would be a nice present to us.

[SayItLoud]

16. Not a chance in hell he will sing. He KNOWS he's going to get a pardon. NT

[Laura PourMeADrink]

17. So when ? Will have to be within this year. Manafort

too? He's in loretto until 2024.

[SayItLoud]

15. Momentary elation will fade as soon as he's pardoned by #OrangeFace nt.

[Jose Garcia]
