Judge Rebuffs Trump, Sends Adviser Roger Stone To Prison For Three Years | MSNBC

[jerry]

if he was a homeless person living on the street or under a bridge, he would be in prison now

[peterblood]

She hasn't sent him anywhere at the moment. Put him in prison until his appeal go through. That's the way it works for the rest of us.

[LazloVimes]

She sentenced him to less than half of the prosecutors sentencing recommendation. She sure seems to have done exactly what trump wanted.

[tonyglock]

The truth still matters...the recommended sentence of 7 years was reduced to less than half. Empty words.

[christophereddings]

MSNBC saying the truth still matters is hilarious...

[josephinman]

Even if Stone goes to prison, it'll be at a Club Fed. The horror, the horror, no caviar it's inhumane!

[NiijiBorn]

3 years you have people with 3 years who got busted with marijuana!!

[raymondtuckerjr]

The judges comments indicates to me that she'll REJECT Stone's request for a new trial.

[Swimdeep]

I can’t listen to trump for more than two minutes.

[akheem]

I never thought I'd live to see the day when the US would rival African countries on corruption. There is a movie script in this!😳😁😂😂😂

[DavidBrianClark]

He wasn't sent to prison. After the hearing, he went to dinner as his attorneys filed for the new trial. Crappy reporting.

[larrymosher]

To all the crooked politicians: beware, there is still a rule of law.Let freedom ring.

[marshawhite]

Who gets sentenced to prison but walks out of the courtroom?🤦🏽‍♀️

[luedog]

a guy in jail for a misdemeanor just got 12 years added to his sentence for having a cellphone in jail.

For a cellphone! 12 years!

[wealthfinder]

The title should read. "Judge goes soft on trump friend."

[CJ-vixm]

Not nearly long enough for this mockery of justice.

[davidpantoja]

Then she should have given him the full 9 years!

[gord]

Friday's Headline - Trump Pardons Stone.

[itstherightone]

I've known people who are serving 10 years for a $3 joint.

[michaelschwartz]

Oh yeah, terribly harsh rebuke. Especially since he'll probably pardoned by the end of the week, throwing the book at this filth would have been more than appropriate
