Pathetic and sad all the way around, a show of zero integrity by all, but then that is what got us here. We all know how "trustworthy" #45 is-just ask the Ukraine, the UK, his ex-wives, contractors, and many others.

ICE is calling phones to see if Hispanics answer. Protect yourself against this corrupt Trump government.

Anyone can comment on sentencing in a criminal case, especially one with First Amendment implications. The only real dispute in the Roger Stone case is who gets to use Department of Justice letterhead.
