Twitter baffled at Trump’s tirade over Roger Stone’s sentencing

Roger Stone, a longtime confidant of Donald Trump, is facing sentencing this Thursday in a Washington federal court after being convicted in November of lying to Congress and witness tampering. In a Twitter rant this morning, Trump lamented Stone's predicament, saying he's being unfairly targeted while figures like James Comey and Hillary Clinton have escaped justice.

"'They say Roger Stone lied to Congress,'" Trump tweeted while sending a shot at his least favorite network, CNN. "I see, but so did Comey (and he also leaked classified information, for which almost everyone, other than Crooked Hillary Clinton, goes to jail for a long time), and so did Andy McCabe, who also lied to the FBI! FAIRNESS?"

Trump's tweet caused some to remember the recent words of his own Attorney General Bill Barr, who has more than once expressed frustration with Trump tweeting about ongoing legal cases:

According to reports from this week, Barr has privately told people that he's considering stepping down from his position after Trump wouldn’t heed his warning to stop tweeting about Justice Department cases.
