Judge delays Roger Stone's sentencing until Feb. 20

Attorneys for Stone had asked for a monthlong extension because they had yet to compile all his financial records.

Roger Stone secured a partial win Friday when a federal judge agreed to postpone his February sentencing for two weeks because of a slowdown in paperwork tied to the longtime Donald Trump adviser’s finances.

A jury convicted Stone in November on seven felony counts of lying to investigators, obstructing a congressional probe and witness tampering — crimes that carry a maximum sentence of 50 years in prison.

Stone was set to learn his punishment on Feb. 6, but U.S. District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson said Friday she’d allowed for a short delay until Feb. 20.

Attorneys for Stone asked Thursday for a monthlong extension because they had yet to compile all the financial and other records that federal probation officials need before they submit their report ahead of the sentencing.

He did it, jail him. Maybe the WH will the get around to being forthright.

Jebus - these records don't even have a thing to with his guilt or innocence.
