Trump Ally Roger Stone Gets 40 Months for Lying, Witness-Tampering
Judge sums up case thusly: "He was not prosecuted for standing up for the president; he was prosecuted for covering up for the president."
On Stone's defense of “So what?" judge echoes prosecutors: "Of all the circumstances in this case, that may be the most pernicious. The truth still exists, the truth still matters. Roger Stone's insistence that it doesn’t ... are a threat to our most fundamental institutions"
Breakdown of Roger Stone's sentence:
COUNT 1 - 40 MONTHS
COUNT 2 to 6 -- 12 MONTHS
COUNTS 7 -- 18 MONTHS
all to run concurrently
Stone was found guilty of lying to Congress and obstructing a congressional investigation to protect Agolf. Yet another cog in Twittler's inner circle of criminals.
Reminder: Barr said in his confirmation hearings that it would be a crime for a president to pardon somebody in exchange for them lying to protect him.
Will he still believe it if Trump pardons Roger Stone?
