Berman-Jackson or whoever she is, is insane.
“Stone is a clown and should get 3 1/2 for being stupid and taunting.“
It is every Americans right to taunt no matter what anyone else feels about it. Just how much do you hate the 1st Amendment?
She won’t give him one, she should have ruled on that before the sentencing.
Donald Trump shouldn’t pardon Roger Stone...
She should give him clemency and reduce his sentence to one day...
Then sic Barr or Durham on the judge for violating his constitutional rights.
That’s what I was saying
“So 18 months in minimum security.”
Everyone on this forum is now dumber for having read your post.
The tainted jury allegations, which came up long after the trial concluded, will have to be taken up on appeal. There’s no way a trial judge is going to get bogged down in that process just before sentencing.
IMO liberals are going to be triggered by shorter the sentence, they’ll probably accuse the trial judge, an Obama appointee and Trump hater, of being intimidated by Trump. Be interesting to see them make fools of themselves (with Trump and Barr being proved right about 7 to 9 years being excessive).
18 months for being sucked into an illegal investigation over a lie? Having your house invaded, and your life upended, all because you happen to be a friend of Donald Trump's?
Why would he? Stone lied to Congress.
He’s an arrogant jerk who thought he was above the law.
His crime is supporting President Trump and you know it. And he’s certainly not as arrogant as any of the selfish filth we call United States Senators.
yep
The question was what was the prosecutions recommendation. The original sentencing memo sent to the judge was seven to nine years. The amended memo sent to the judge the next day following Trump's Tweet did not specify a recommended term but left that to the judge.
Yes he’s a jerk......however until they start arresting all the others who pull these stunts, even far worse, then I hope Trump pardons him. Tired of seeing people associated with Trump getting arrested etc. yet the Dems are never even carged with the obvious.
Barr did NOT recommend anything. He left it TOTALLY up to the judge. Happens all the time.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Barr recommended a lighter sentence.

Appeal...
What is justice?
With create-a-crime cops and little to no real legal representation for the poor, Justice has become a really bad joke.
If one is denied a fair trial then how can there be justice? When juries are fixed and lawyers don’t care about their clients then how can there be justice? When courts are held behind closed doors, and when, lies become more important than truth then there is no justice.
When so much power is given to state agencies in courts and the people have no voice in them then how can there be justice? The common man gets no justice against government, court or police corruption. The wolf is now watching over the hen house and justice is no longer there.
This Judgement was a hideous crime. It has enslaved the people of this country and has made a mockery out of all our legal system.
Stone is a clown and should get 3 1/2 for being stupid and taunting.
Much the same as been said of Don Jr. You want to lock him up, too?

With friends like Stone....
Guy’s bad news
The jury was inarguably tainted.
So regardless of guilty, innocent or inappropriate sentence he gets a new trial.
I don’t care if it was Hilary Clinton on trial. That foreman was obviously prejudiced, easily demonstrated.
