Good morning Middle Americans.
Roger Stone, long time Trump confidant and notorious political provocateur is looking at 50 years in prison. No one expects him to spend that much time behind bars, but he’s looking a year of appeals and a more time inside a court room. It’s not how anyone wants to spend his retirement.

ROGER STONE GUILTY ON ALL COUNTS
(CBS News) – President Trump’s former campaign adviser, Roger Stone, was found guilty by a jury on Friday of all seven charges that he faced. He was charged with lying to Congress, witness tampering and obstruction.
Stone faces up to 50 years in prison — the witness tampering charge carries a maximum penalty of 20 years, while the maximum for each of the other six charges is five years.
The prosecution portrayed him as a liar trying to protect himself and help then-candidate Donald Trump win the 2016 presidential race at any cost.

Over 24 Teams to Attend Kaepernick Workout
(ESPN) – Colin Kaepernick’s workout will go on as scheduled Saturday and more than 24 NFL teams are now expected to attend, sources tell ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
Kaepernick is already in Atlanta preparing for the workout, which is being held at the Falcons’ training complex just outside Atlanta.
The NFL has not provided the names of wide receivers it plans to have at the workout, so Kaepernick is bringing former NFL wideouts who volunteered to fly in on their own to help him at the workout.
