Prosecutors are urging that Roger Stone be sent to prison for about 7 to 9 years for his conviction on charges of lying and witness tampering during investigations of ties between Russia and the Trump campaign
Federal prosecutors are urging that longtime Donald Trump adviser and Republican political provocateur Roger Stone be sent to prison for about seven to nine years for his conviction on charges of lying and witness tampering during investigations of ties between Russia and the Trump campaign.
The argument was strikingly similar — in some cases borrowing from the exact passages from the same Constitution-era text — as that lodged by the House's prosecutors during Trump's impeachment trial.
“So they now convict Roger Stone of lying and want to jail him for many years to come," Trump tweeted minutes after the jury's verdicts were read. "Well, what about Crooked Hillary, Comey, Strzok, Page, McCabe, Brennan, Clapper, Shifty Schiff, Ohr & Nellie, Steele & all of the others, including even Mueller himself? Didn’t they lie?”
Prosecutors pointed, in particular, to a message Stone sent to Credico after he indicated plans to cooperate with the House committee. "Prepare to die, cocksucker," Stone wrote. In another instance, Stone told Credico, who has a therapy dog, that he would "take that dog away from you."
