Roger Stone Deserves a Severe Punishment
National Review ^ | 2/12/20 | Kevin D. Williamson

Posted on 02/13/2020 4:52:03 AM PST by JonPreston

Roger Stone belongs in prison for a very long time. The seven felonies of which he stands convicted are at heart crimes of political corruption — lying to Congress and tampering with witnesses in order to impede a federal investigation into official wrongdoing. The charges together could have brought him 50 years in prison — and that would not have been unjust.

The Lord may have mercy on his soul, but his ass belongs in the federal penitentiary for a good long while.

Or...he was protecting the nation from an attempted coup. Hang the judge, prosecutors, and investigators.

Will our domestic enemies try to put together another “impeachment” over this?

Yes, it's already begun.

Platitudes and lectures while the “progressives” run us over. Step aside!

Yes, I'd say they are useless, but that doesn't describe the damage these 'conservatives' have done to America.

while Trump is no Reagan, he is, in fact, BETTER than Reagan

I couldn't agree more.

Anyone else notice that for every person convicted of “lying”, they NEVER report what the exact lie was, or how they determined that the person was lying, i.e. knew what they were testifying was incorrect?

Everyone has in their mind a general idea of what constitutes a lie, but not a specific definition. To me, you have to consciously know that what you are saying is false, which seems to me difficult to prove. ( unless you believe in mind readers.)

Paraphrasing a very old saying:

“Better to remain silent and be thought an a****le than speak and remove all doubt.”

anyone who lies to Congress deserves a medal, not a criminal conviction.

Bingo! They're a pack of shakedown artists protecting their racket.

“I couldn’t agree more”

Long ago, I supported a guy for Senate who was described as “More like Reagan than Reagan”. We’ve reached that point with Trump.

I take it this is Williamson?

Yes, I think he weighs about 7.3 Ben Shapiros.

It's in the indictment, or other charging document.

Stone was stupid to even answer questions as he did to Congress. And he had his attorney(s) present! But he doesn't deserve the sentence that was recommended.

How do these Demo thugs sleep at night? “Truth as I see it”, is the new mantra of the Party of Lies Democrats.

If Stone deserves excessive prison time. So does the Biden and Clinton Crime family’s.

There are a lot of Rats involved with the corruption and other crimes in the Ukrain.
