Roger Stone To Receive Sentencing Tomorrow | Deadline | MSNBC

  1. Trump isn’t draining the swamp, he’s pardoning the swamp, for his own benefit.
    But I was really glad that Blagojevich brought up Trump’s passionate sense of justice for people of color. 😆
    In June 2019, Trump said that he would not apologize for his harsh comments in 1989 about the Central Park Five, the five black and Latino teenagers who were wrongly convicted in NY.

    More than a decade after the exoneration of the five teens, Trump indicated in an interview just last year, that he still doesn’t accept their innocence. Nor does he think he owes them an apology for publicly calling for their executions.

    The teenagers were exonerated by DNA evidence and a confession from the true perpetrator in 2002, 13 years after they were vilified by prosecutors and in the press after being charged and convicted.

    On May 1, 1989, as the case was headed to trial, Trump spent $85,000 placing a full-page ad in four newspapers, calling for the young men accused of the crime to be executed.

    “BRING BACK THE DEATH PENALTY. BRING BACK OUR POLICE!” the ad proclaimed in enormous capital letters. Below, in smaller text, Trump ranted, “I want to hate these murderers and I always will. I am not looking to psychoanalyze or understand them, I am looking to punish them.”

    The Central Park Five have now been found innocent, after serving years for a crime they didn’t commit. Blagojevich however, is still guilty as charged. As Governor, Blagojevich tried to sell a seat in the Senate to the highest bidder, like hawking a stolen television off the back of a truck.

    Blagojevich was also convicted of extorting a children’s hospital. Blagojevich tried to take back an $8 million contribution the state made to Children’s Memorial Hospital, because the hospital’s CEO would not make a campaign donation to the governor. Now let that sink in for a moment.
    That sounds exactly like something that Trump would do. After all, Trump was caught operating a fake charity foundation for his own financial gain.

    1. He’s scouting for a new hiring pool of All the Best Prisoners… uhm People! All those empty Cabinet Seats!

  2. First one👍🏻! THE SHOULD’VE BEEN SENTENCING TRUMP AND STONE AT THE EXACT SAME TIME, AND THAT’S ON EVERY REAL AMERICAN’S MIND, AND D*MMIT NOT JUST MINES ! 🕰🕛⏱⏰⌚

    1. Trumps psychopathic base will vote it’s extremely important everyone else does and get this nut out and locked up where he belongs. The whole Republican party is equally accountable for Trumps insanity from here in. They had the chance for him to be gone once and for all and the Republicans sold the country out. Vote, drag your parents out to vote and get your neighbors out voting

  3. 🐧…Oops, The Penguin R. Stone Trying To Escaped Gotham, Arkham Asylum Again! Last sighting was being abuse by several prison inmates!…😁

    1. @Marty Stamey try again. In fact Carter was a WWII submarine COMANDER, and was the last president that went to one of the Academies.

    2. @Marty Stamey He’s guilty of contantly lying to the American people, cheating on his wives, and consorting with criminals. Also, in general he’s just not a nice person and a poor example of a Christian.

    3. @mark kimbrell your idea of a vision is letting transvestites join the military. Voteing Bruce Jenner woman of the year. Lighting the Whitehouse up like a 🌈 and killing babys!! You keep your vision and ill keep mine!!! Vote Trump 2020! A man of great vision

    1. This was the case 3 years ago, too. It’s hard to understand what someone is saying when they don’t divulge their whole intention.

    1. @J N That’s so cute.
      The entire republican party was unable to even come up with enough for an indictment, let alone a conviction. 11 hours being grilled by the republican congress, and nothing. Countless investigations into Benghazi, and every one returned no evidence of wrong doing.
      I get that you hate her, after all, the republicans have been running a 30+ year smear campaign, but if there’s no evidence, no indictment, no crime and no trial, how can she be sentenced?
      This crook, on the other hand, was indicted and plead GUILTY to multiple felony. I know that doesn’t fit your narrative, but really, truth has never mattered to the ‘lock her up’ gang.

  4. Stone has been thumbing his nose at the Judge, law in general and the American Constitution. He is a slime bag.

    1. Stone. Tough guy, all smiles, everything’s a joke, I’m in good with Trump. Then those bars slam shut on that cell. That’s it. You’re home. You ain’t goin anywhere. That’s when everything changes. Just ask Jeff.

    1. @kim clarke – ‘Member when their “Q-approved arrests!!1!” *were* supposed to 💯 happen… *WAAAAY back* in 2017? 😴
      *Then* ‘2018’? 🙄
      *Then* ‘January, 2019’… 😐
      Then ‘February’…
      Then ‘March’…
      Then ‘April’…
      Then ‘May’…
      Then ‘June’…
      Then ‘July’…
      Then ‘August, and Comey’…’for sure!’👍
      Then ‘September’ gave them… 👎.
      Then ‘October’…sent #45✳ *HIS* “Impeachment Inquiry”. ✔
      While ‘November’ revealed…the damning testimonies of *more than a DOZEN witnesses.* 📑
      And ‘December’ brought #45✳…a *VERY* ‘Merry Impeachment!’ 🍑
      We wish ‘Qballs’ would’ve held their breath, waiting… 🤣

  5. 😂 Trump claim he haven’t given any thoughts on pardoning Stone. Give me a freakin break Trump has already set a date to pardon his partner in crime.

    1. @Marty Stamey except that’s a lame conspiracy theory with no evidence. you’re comparing apples to ORANGES! lmao Trump and stone actually have a connection. nice try though moron

    2. Tonykeo83: Trump is not going to pardon him because he can’t pardon himself or his family and he won’t pardon Michael Flynn and Paul Manafort because if he does and if he loses the election in November Stone would have no choice but to testify against Trump and he will go to prison for the rest of his life!!!!

    3. @tstandri He cannot, because if he does then Stone would have no choice but to testify against him and he will go to prison for the rest of his life, If he is not going to pardon Manafort, Cohen or Flynn then you know he is not going to pardon Stone it will make matters much more worse!!!

    1. And I hope the next President assigns special consoles to do a deep dive in all the smoke in Justice and the White House. Him and Barr have novel ideas about their power and what is obstruction of justice, looking how Justice and come up with such a large number of charges for Stone, I suspect they will answer for their politically and personally motivated actions, because there are plenty of laws that are pointed at people who use government power for politics and personal reasons.

    2. @putsome basilonit
      It was the DNC that gifted Trump to the nation. The media is just as rotten, the whole country is one dirty corrupt quagmire of lies and deceit.

    3. @myko freder
      “next?” president?? hahaha, you are being hopeful. Why not just call the USA what it is, a kingdom, and be done with the pretense? The 4 yearly money scramble is a humiliating spectacle and quite stomach churning the way it’s dressed up as “freedom and democracy”.

    4. if only they destroyed evidence, paid russia for lies, abused the fisa court, sold uranium to russia, and now rigged a caucus in iowa and changed the rules for a billionaire buy-in, and got paid 500 grand to give a speech in moscow they would be squeaky clean like the previous administration!!
