Roger Stone sentenced to 3 years for lying, witness tampering as case roils DOJ

GOP operative Roger Stone was sentenced to more than three years in prison on Thursday after days of drama ensnaring career prosecutors, the attorney general and the president over how severe Stone's punishment should be for making false statements to investigators during the Trump-Russia probe.

U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson, while taking a firm stance toward Stone in the courtroom, also said the up to nine years originally sought by federal prosecutors was excessive. Her sentence of 40 months in prison was considerably less than that -- yet far more than the probation sought by his defense and certainly tough enough to keep speculation alive about a possible pardon from President Trump.

In court, Jackson repeatedly made clear she holds Stone responsible for his circumstances, as his lawyers sought leniency.

The Democrats go to jail after a fair trial and sentencing . After all of this time there have been no charges form a Republican Senate, Republican House (until 2018) and Republican Administration . Maybe there is nothing to send them to jail for ?

Shocker huh!!!!

It's okay for members of Congress to lie, and to obstruct the legitimate work of Congress, but it is a criminal offence to lie to Congress or mess with their partisan investigations. What a joke.
Witness tampering is a serious offence, and justifies time in the clink.

I agree this guy has been a criminal since high school
He and Manafort were criminals together stealing money from the government years ago.
Typical of Trump to have a friend like this
He bankrupted 6 times!

Ok Ok OK
Mr Trump was definitely the lesser of 2 evils.
