Stone is an old man who got away with a lot of stuff.

Well, he went to far over the line and now he gets to pay the price.

Kind of like Trump. Stepped over the line in a job way over his head.

Humans should celebrate being good and positive - not how sleazy they are. Roger and Nixon sitting in a tree. He will go down as a tiny footnote in history for his kin to be ashamed of.

That's not a life. That's a waste.

Another member of team Trump is headed to Federal Prison.

Donald Trump called stone a "great guy" earlier this year. A great guy who was just convicted of lying to Congress and witness tampering.

Just another scum bag. Would else can be expected of someone in trump’s circle. Glad to see guilty on all counts but just a matter of time before that POS in the White House pardons him.

Wouldn't there be a downside for Trump to pardon him?

The Washington Examiner (which tends to be favorable to Trump) - believes so:

Some Trump allies have attempted to rehabilitate Stone’s crimes by arguing that everything he did was for the president. But none of this changes the nature of Stone’s crimes, and pardoning him would be a mistake. Trump vowed to “drain the swamp” of its self-interested cronies. Stone has been one of its leading villains for decades. Pardoning him now would send the message that crime and dishonesty are okay as long as they are in the service of the White House.

As the Democrats accelerate their impeachment efforts, it’s important for Trump to keep his distance from Stone. The disgraced Trump adviser has the potential to become a serious liability for a president under investigation for alleged obstruction of justice.

Agree with this, especially the bolded. I suspect that is why Stone is taking this all in stride, expecting a full pardon.

and Donald Trump might just be dumb enough to do it. Only an idiot like Trump would have the balls to pardon a man that was convicted on SEVEN felony counts, including witness tampering with an investigation into himself (Trump).

I bet Trump doesn't even realize how pardoning Stone would probably accelerate the ending of his presidency. Political suicide. But Trump probably doesn't think that far ahead. His aides might, and they'll probably advise against pardoning Stone, but he can't help himself.

If that isn't censorship and mind control and authoritarian brainwashing, I don't know what is! It's UN American. America is about freedom of speech and freedom for the citizens to hear different opinions. It's not about someone living high up in a mansion telling us underlings what to think and do. THAT is a dictatorship.
lolol.. what different opinions... The MSM pumps out nothing but HATE TRUMP TV... did you hear anything positive about Trump or Trump supporters lately.. NO!! TOTALITARIAN ONE SIDED MSM.. soon they will pay the piper!

Well, OK.

But right now, it's Stone who will pay the piper.

Along with Flynn, Cohen, Manafort, etc.

And the media didn't do that. It was the courts.

Roger Stone's conviction is about sending a message for 2020.
Don't engage in journalism, don't engage in opposition research.
Don't fight the deep state.
Otherwise you'll end up in prison for life or Epsteined.


Freedom of the Press took a YUGE hit.
