The thing that's horrible and unfair is that the entity prosecuting Stone is (or was) full of people who told more numerous, bigger, and more consequential lies about the same broad topic without punishment.

As far as I know the only thing he did was deny trying to obtain the emails from Assange which itself is not a crime. Lying about it to federal investigator is. Every news organization and undoubtedly the Clinton campaign would of been trying to obtain them.

Madness, the crime doesn’t fit the sentence.

Draining the swamp, eh? Roger Stone is a swamp monster. I guess it's because he's a Republican swamp monster. Funny how this works.

Stone will look like a pompous, smug pimp in an orange jumpsuit. If he can find a way to overdress in the jumpsuit, he will do it.

But not for very long, I expect. Stone, Manafort and Trump go back a very long way. They have been partners off and on, or associates at other times, and they have a contentious 3-way friendship where one of them is always on the outs, but it shifts around all the time.

I expect Trump will pardon Stone pretty quickly. In Trump's eyes, Stone didn't make the mistakes Manafort made and Stone stuck by Trump tighter and said nothing. Now that Trump feels omnipotent, he won't hesitate to pardon Stone.

And he might pardon Manafort later on if he feels Manafort has finally paid his dues.

NO, Roger Stone SHOULD get a life sentence but will be saved by his buddy Trump.

The lead Prosecutor just withdrew from the case.

Aaron Zelinsky, who played a key role in former special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, said in a filing with the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia that he would not serve as the government's counsel in Stone's case going forward.

[EDIT: Just in: Apparently one of the other prosecutors has also withdrawn]
[EDIT: Now there's three that have left the case]

Stone should be pardoned as soon as Trump has the election in the bag.
