Far too much for those minor crimes, like obstructing a hoax.
I would probably have said to the investigators to go fuck themselves.

Credico testified that Stone repeatedly told him to “do a ‘Frank Pentangeli,’” a reference to a character in “The Godfather: Part II” who lies before Congress.

Prosecutors also charged that Stone had threatened Credico’s therapy dog, Bianca, saying he was “going to take that dog away from you.”

What a guy.

Who is Roger Stone? Get me Roger Stone! Get me someone like Roger Stone!

More than anyone else, I think he is the one person most responsible for Trump’s Presidency.

He is a Freak.

Federal prosecutors are asking a judge to sentence President Donald Trump’s Trump 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.

In a sentencing memorandum filed Monday evening, prosecutors asked for Stone to serve between 87 and 108 months in federal prison, in accordance with federal sentencing guidelines. Such a sentence would send a message to deter others who might consider lying or obstructing a congressional probe or tampering with witnesses.

Why do people do this? Why do I have to read your conclusion first and foremost, then get to make up my own mind?

Why do which people do what exactly?

Are you under the impression that people come on the internet to inform you?

Obviously not, just pointing out how ridiculous this is.

Isn't that just breathtakingly crooked?

breathtakingly crooked

It sure is. It's overt corruption at the highest level of American government. When the Justice Department has become a political tool to shield lawbreakers, this government has lost its legitimacy.

Republicans suck. Should've impeached.

The President was impeached.
