Aaron Zelinsky, one of Mueller’s prosecutors, just filed a notice to withdraw from the Stone case, the day that DOJ officials said they would override the line prosecutors and recommend a lower sentencing for the president’s longtime friend and campaign advisor.

The Judge, not the DOJ, determines the sentence. That the DOJ is doing this at the behest of the White House, shows how shamless it is.

The beauty, if it is a "harsher" penalty, Trump will be more inclined to pardon Stone. A pardoned individual has to proffer to the crimes and has no Fifth Amendment rights in future testimony, including on Capitol Hill.

Trump needs to be shown that old men can indeed go to prison.

What? He lied and his lies were material to other investigations.

Read it again. Stone serves jail. Trump’s interference is more proof of abuse of power. This is a good thing.

“Serves” should be “deserves”. No edit function here. ?

This afternoon, the DOJ has indicated it will revise the guidelines to something much more lenient.

Note the part that says: This is not what was briefed to the dept.
It was a ridiculously harsh sentence.

How so? If a woman can spend 5 years imprisioned for voting at the wrong precinct, how is this harsh?

These poor sweet summer republicans. “Law and order,” my foot.

How is he not in jail?

1. He is white.

2. He is rich or has rich “friends.”

A lot of people lie to congress and aren't prosecuted, even black people.

3. His sister, Betsy, is in Trump's Cabinet.
