He got his time in the barrel. Roger Stone was convicted of lying to federal authorities and Congress. |
He could face LIFE in federal time out.
Stone's guilty verdict includes obstruction of justice, lying to Congress, lying to the FBI (including Robert Mueller's investigation), threatening the federal judge Amy Berman Jackson, threatening witness and witness intimidation. The charges of obstruction of justice are already 30 years in federal time out.
Stone was a colorful and somewhat nasty fella.
He was the guy who has Richard Nixon tattooed on his back and Trump on his stomach.
Stone was responsible for getting Al Franken caught up in a sex scandal.
Amy Berman Jackson, the federal judge preceding over Stone's trial will hand down his bid in federal time out. |
The smooth-talking provocateur got served a federal sandwich. Seven indictments and each led to a conviction.
He literally took a bullet for Trump. Cause this guilty plea is really bad.
If he gets at least 30 years in federal time out, that might as well be a LIFE sentence.
Stone is 67 years old. He showed no emotion as he stood before the judge and jury that deliberated his fate. That fate could be really harsh if the judge throws the book at him.
Mind you that as first time federal offender, Stone does have a chance to get a reduced sentence but clearly he's going to serve some time. We don't know how long.
Stone from the jump denied that he had contacts with Wikileaks and Julian Assange. What damaged him was the testimonies of his former allies.
Steve Bannon, Jerome Corsi, Rick Gates and Randy Credico testified against him. They told the judge under oath, that Stone had contact with Wikileaks. He reached out to Trump, Donald Trump, Jr., Eric Trump, Sean "Softball" Hannity and Paul Manafort.
I assume that Stone is under suicide watch. So the Judge Amy Berman Jackson might have him restrained or sent to the iron college immediately.
Stone can appeal his conviction if he dares. But if he gets convicted again, he will suffer more time in the iron college.
