Beat me to it. I sure hope the judge hits him hard. Say 20 yrs before parole.

POTUS will not  allow it..... POTUS is above the law can and will do anything to protect his gang of crooks..... and HIS senate let him walk free, as @Candide said "BANANA REPUBLIC" the USA lost what little was left of international community respect, US friends/allies remaining can be counted on one hand

The whole case is a massive travesty of justice. Should never have been investigated by the DOJ. Just another aspect of the Witch Hunt to bring down Trump. 

Mr. Trump said in a oval office interview that the mueller crew was trying to pursue these ridiculous and spiteful acts

I know the feeling. My kid asks me how government folks can take disinformation from Russia to use against American citizens, falsify Court applications for warrants, leak classified information and lie to Congress and yet still be walking around free. Its a hard question to answer, isnt it.

Pretty easy. The doj under trump didnt want to do anything.

The jury that got to hear the evidence found him guilty.

 

Please dont try and say as a trump supporter you dont like ridiculous and spiteful acts.

Stones judge will soon show trump the meaning of separation of powers.

Amy Berman Jackson, Stone’s sentencing judge will not stand up to Trump and his AG abuse of power. She despatched her duties most efficiently against Manafort and Rick Gates. Both got their deserving sentencing and Stones will get his. Soon it will be citizen Trump’s turn.

GOP Senators had their chance to get rid of Trump, they declined to so and in declining emboldened him to commit more crimes.

 

GOP Senators are now being owned by Trump’s continuing crime spree.

Yep. They blew it. They are now fully complicit in his crimes.

We will see what Judge Amy Berman Jackson has to say about this, since what the Prosecutors or DOJ propose means nothing, she has the Federal Sentencing Guidelines that she may or may not follow

 

Only a Pardon is going to get Stone off lightly 

This 'trial' should never have taken place. No case to answer. Shameful.

Seems a bit weird that the President could pardon someone for crimes related to himself??!

The way he dressed, he is lucky not to be charged by the fashion police. As for this case, rock solid evidences.

I guess soon we will see the coronation of King Donald I.

He always wanted to be stronger than Putin or the little NK rocket man.

 

And it seems a good part of US voters still support him.

God, please give them some brain. Or better give them a lot of brain. They really really need it.

His hard core base, about 35 percent, won't leave him no matter what. But that leaves plenty more fluid people, and there are democratic candidates that can take them (Klobuchar, Bloomberg, and to a lesser extent Buttigieg).

And do you think those 35% will care about the 65%?

Or will they protest about fake news and fake election and fake laws and fake judges?

 

And let me guess: Those 35% will have a lot more weapons than the 65%.

 

I hope it never comes to this but the way Trump and his supporters behave nothing surprises me anymore.

Well you're right. 45 has already thrown strong hints numerous times that he will find excuses to not leave if he loses. We're in new territory now with a dictator type of president and it's impossible to predict how he will eventually fall and what the level of permanent damage will be by that time.

What do Americans think of Bloomberg's chances against Trump, if he gets the nomination?

Bloomberg can forget about the black vote.

Maybe latinos too.

No one knows this stiff outside New York.

You have a point for the primaries. But when you consider that Trump organization was actually fined for discriminating against black would be renters and that he just awarded Rush Limbaugh the Medal of Freedom - a clown who said that NFL games reminded him of a war between the Crips and the Bloods - and all the other stuff in between, not so in the general elections.

But the truth is that black democrats have a lot in common with all democrats. They see beating 45 as the top priority. As Bloomberg has a strong case for being the strongest choice to beat 45, he will get plenty of support from black democrats in the primaries. Also considering he has apologized which is the decent thing to do and he'd be running against an impeached indecent president that never apologizes for anything. 

 

As I've mentioned before, politics is complicated. Remember LGBT Americans supported Obama strongly during the entire time that he was against marriage equality, until he wasn't.
