[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This is what's going to happen. Judge Jackson will sentence Stone to somewhere in the guidelines range (7-9 years) and Trump will then commute the sentence or pardon Stone, saying how he's justified because how outrageous the sentence was. And Stone will resume his nefarious activities on behalf of Trump's reelection. [/quote]

Here’s what I don’t get. Why not just start there? Why not avoid this all together when the end-game is Trump commute or pardon?[/quote]

Roger probably knows everything about what happened in 2016, and to the extent that Trump is capable of having a friend, Roger is a friend.

So Trump has always promised Roger he'd take care of him. But then the sentencing memo came out and I'm sure Roger flipped out. A mutual friend let Trump know how unhappy Roger was (in the middle of the night) so Trump tweeted. Barr read the tweet and etc, etc, etc.

Why hasn't Trump used his pardon power for his buddies? Because the conventional wisdom is that would be very harmful politically. But I agree with you - Trump is a dictator now and he can do whatever he wants and, as long as money continues to get pumped into the economy, he won't get hurt politically.

As I said I think Roger is a special case because he knows so much and Trump will do whatever he can to make sure he stays quiet and happy.[/quote]
