Trump surrogate Roger Stone was just sentenced to a ridiculous 40 months in prison for a silly process crime.
He was convicted of lying to the Congress, basically, the crime Andrew McCabe did, who is as free as a bird, writing books and enjoying his new pundit gig over at CNN.
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.
Before announcing the sentence in a federal courtroom in Washington, the judge in the case, U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, took a firm stance toward the Republican operative, faulting him for the actions that led to the charges. She sentenced him to 40 months in prison.
“Mr. Stone lied,” Jackson said in court. She also said Stone injected himself “smack” into a political controversy and was not “persecuted.”

RELATED: Opinion: America Can’t Survive Under This Two-Tiered Justice System
We have a two-tier justice system in America, where the globalist elites can do whatever they please and get away with it, and everyone else – the peasants like you and me – go down in a ball of flames.
Trump supporters took to Twitter and expressed outrage and disgust at the sentencing and urged President Trump to pardon Stone.
It’s fair to note that Stone will appeal the verdict and it’s highly unlikely that President Trump would interfere in the judicial process. I’d guess anything he does in regards to Stone will happen after the election.
“Facts: The jury forewoman in Roger Stone’s case lied to the judge and said she had “no recollection” of who Roger Stone was But her twitter is filled with tweets about Roger Stone She lied under oath Why shouldn’t she get 40 months in prison & $20k fine? RT for justice!”

“The reason to pardon Roger Stone is not an unlawful sentence from Judge Jackson – 40 months for an obstruction conviction is not abnormal The reason to pardon him is that he was selectively prosecuted in a probe that never should have happened Pardon Roger Stone”

“The anti-Trump Judge Jackson is using the sentencing of Roger Stone to attack the president. Talk to me again about judicial independence. This Obama appointed judge is not and has not been fair. This entire trial has not been fair.”

Don’t get discouraged over the two=tier justice system. It’s part of the swamp, that runs much deeper than any of us realized when we started on this journey back in 2015.
We must keep fighting because we are righteous and in the end, we will win.
