The standard stuff: five counts of false statements, one count of obstruction and one count of witness tampering.

He was found guilty on all 7 counts. He faces a legal maximum penalty of 50 years in prison — 20 years for the witness tampering charge and five years for each of the other counts, although a first offender would face far less time under federal sentencing guidelines. He'll be sentenced in February.

Process crimes as always. That's
all they ever convict anybody
on now, they don't have any
real crimes.

That's okay, I'm sure he just got fake time in jail, which I'm sure he'll enjoy just as much as real time.
You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

All I know about Roger Stone is
he was a conspiracy asshat that
was always on Alex Jones moronic
rabble rouser show. Most people
have never heard of him.

He has a been a big political advocate since the Nixon era. He worked for the Nixon campaign and the Nixon White House until Nixon resigned.

He is pretty well known for his questionable tactics of deception (such as donating money to competing campaigns under the name of hate groups) and using the media to their advantage (he was a perfect fit for Trump).

Stone has essentially been involved with every major Republican since the Nixon campaign...

Never heard of him till 2016 when
he was on Alex Jones all the time.
He sounded like a loon, talked
about alien abductions and all
kinds of weird stuff.

Shrek thinks no one cares, but... Trump keeps tweeting about Roger Stone.

Trump tweeted about him here.
Trump tweeted about him here.
Trump tweeted about him here.

And Trump tweeted about him twice yesterday.

So yes, Shrek, other than the President of the United States, no one care about his conviction.
