    1. Robert The Bruce
      Because you’re as corrupt? Or just stupid??
      Never mind… fat jaffa loves you… the poorly educated

    1. — > I guess those 4 U.S. Attorneys walked out for nothing. More than 2,000 former Federal Prosecutors were blowing smoke when they said Barr should resign.

    2. Barbara H ….oh, my twisted fantasies are quite different. What I fear that may happen in US is more of a nightmare. Sadly I don’t think common folk (not interested in DC politics) will realise what is going on until things actually get out of hand.
      All these Trump scandals, in themselves, might be no Biggie….but they are establishing norms, destroying valued institutions and values, and undermining the very pillars of what makes America special.
      At this rate we will just be another Russia… bunch of obscenely rich old white men using State resources to bully and further enrich themselves, whilst their country and people decline. It really could happen here…all too easily IMHO.

  1. If Roger Stone does not go to jail for his corrupt crimes, well any person who breaks the law should not go to court for their crimes, because the President Donald j Trump has just let all the criminals that he knows go without any laws being enforce, because he the president and what he says goes. So when do the American people see what the law really stands for, because from where the American people stand all we see is the Trump administration at its best.

    1. To funny, Comey, McCabe and others committed 17 illegal acts on the FISA court and obtained illegal spying, they then lied about it, are they in jail?

    2. Didn’t like the egg/chicken preferred to take the route of cart/horse?

      I really hope someone responds with ney…

  2. Danny Cevallos is full of it. Stone was massively UNDER-sentenced: On top of all of his original crimes, he threatened a witness AND threatened the judge.

    1. @statesmanuel —-> According to another juror that is a lie. However, if the juror was a plant, they were planted by Trump to foul the case just like they did with the one FISA that had so many typos. It didn’t really work to foul the Russia investigation but they’re still tryin’.

    2. @E Garza Trump Winery is a registered trade name of Eric Trump Wine Manufacturing LLC, which is not owned, managed or affiliated with Donald J. Trump, The Trump Organization or any of their affiliates.

    3. @E Garza Trump eventually hired Kaszycki for the job, William Kaszycki of Kaszycki & Sons The suit came about after Kaszycki stopped paying the men. The workers eventually took their complaints to an attorney named John Szabo, who brought the issue straight to Thomas Macari, a vice president of the Trump Organization. Macari then began paying the men in cash in order to avoid a shutdown of the worksite, according to the Times. Szabo eventually got the Labor Department to open a wages-and-hours case for the workers that ended up winning them a $254,000 judgment against Kaszycki.

  3. The main event is yet to come. I am crazy excited for the day Trump receives sentencing, and no one is around to pardon him.

    1. @Raptango_NA so you admit that Trump defrauded the United States hundreds of millions through tax fraud but will escape punishment due to the statute of limitations. There are a litany of newer crimes he can be punished for, like at least 7 incidents of obstruction of justice highlighted in the Mueller report.

      Regarding classified information I meant incidents like revealing sensitive Israeli information to the Russian ambassador and foreign minister in the oval office. Also the Mar a Lago buffet being the scene of classified deliberations is ridiculous

    2. @A La Zay Aye whatever your opinion on any of these points, not one of them are prosecutable. Not a single one. So like i said, if youre betting Trump will be prosecuted for crimes, these will not do. Just a reality check.

    3. @Raptango_NA why, because Mueller said he wouldn’t charge a sitting president? The only reason he’s not facing charges right now for these and the Stormy payout is because he’s the president, which won’t last forever. You should read that report again, slower

    4. @A La Zay Aye Ken Starr found that Bill Clinton had committed 11 felonies. There was nothing preventing Robert Mueller from coming to the determination that a crime was committed, even if he did not intend to file charges. He stated before congress that he chose not to even consider the question of whether trump committed a crime or not. So that means, the underlying behavior of Trump, i guess still could be evaluated by someone as to determine if he is guilty of obstruction, but, i just dont think that Trumps statements rise to obstruction, and ive heard people argue both sides, nor do i think anyone is going to bother in 2024. I just dont. The Democrats only act out of political calculation. These people have no virtue, they act like they do, but to them it is all a political calculation. And i dont see any political benefit for Democrats to do any of this after Trump leaves office. It will just continue to make them look like what they are, hypocrites. Do you actually think, for example, that Elizabeth cares about black and brown people as she stands on stage pontificating on how we must stand up for the rights of women of color and if elected, shes going to read the names of trans women of color killed by domestic violence every year in the Rose Garden? Are you kidding me? Her phony pandering to minorities is disgusting. The only Democrats running who arent complete phonies are…Sanders and Klobuchar (and to some extent, bloomberg). And as far as Trump goes, good luck waiting for his prosecution.

  4. What exactly should a sentence look like when You paint a target on a judge and release it to millions of rabid trump followers for execution? That your new normal?

    1. @Rod Right tho.. It’s not interfering if a democrat does it!! That’s why Obama pardoned all those left handed embezzlers. Or was it his drug trafficking pardons you supported the most?

    2. What’s this bull about Barr interfering? Barr is the AG. What he’s doing is managing his departments…like he’s supposed to.

  5. I wonder if having the judge in cross hairs accounts for his lite sentence. If he were not a conspirator of trump he would
    have got the max. Another cop out

  6. WHY 40 months? IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE more than SEVEN! EIGHT YEARS!?Another joke to the system. The crooks are getting away with paying crooks lawyers and all supported by trump and Barr., the criminals in charge.😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

    1. @Ro G Trump been impeached and will be reelected and you frist have to wait for Durham he isn’t in a hurry like the marxist dictators on the left just to fail Durham has facts and facts win

  7. Roger the Dodger’s fetish pal on his back, Tricky Dicky, will make a wonderful target in the showers. They can make a game of who can make the ‘money shot’ from the farthest away. They can bring Manafort in for fluffing and clean up.

  8. Since when was treason only a 40 month sentence? I can be arrested for five years possession of a plant due to political terrorism but an act of treason against the country gets less than 5 years?

  9. This is the time when our founders envisioned that the Supreme Court would step in and stop this nonsense that will ultimately upturn our judicial system and undermine our democracy. Someone has to be the adult here, and it has to be the Supreme Court.

    1. Your right the whole case needs to be thrown out as a mistrial as the extreme bias of the lead juror/forman has now been outed towards Trump and Stone, this democrat scum should have never been on the jury and lied during jury trial selection.

  10. Trump on Sondland:
    “I never met him”
    “He was only a coffee boy ”
    “He is a never Trumper”
    “He is a rat”
