The Department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the filing in the Stone case last night,” the DOJ official reportedly told Fox. “The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.”

If the left is blaming you for something (like Trump interfering) they are most likely already guilty of it.


Oooh, oooh, I know! It's called PROEJCTION and it's what Trump and his acolytes do best!!! Just start taking a look at whatever Trump criticizes his perceived political enemies about and you can for sure guarantee he is guilty of it himself.

For those who were convicted of lying to cover up his crimes - Manafort, Flynn, Stone, Cohen, before he flipped - Trump urges lighter sentences and dangles pardons.

This is what mafiosos do.

Why are people defending it?

It didn't cost $40 million, it actually reaped profits, and it exposed significant wrongdoing.

There is still wrongdoing happening, even many GOP senators admitted as such, they just didn't want to vote to remove the President from Office.

Some rogue US attorneys misled the DOJ in their sentencing guidelines and got called out doing so. And, I have no doubt they have evidence of such.


What? Sentencing guidelines are public. Look them up. What the now-resigned DOJ attorneys proposed was in the norm for the crimes that Stone has been convicted of. And the fact of the matter, if he hadn't lied, then perhaps we would know more about Trump and Wikileaks. But since he is covering for Trump on this, he has to do the time. That is how it works. Please stop repeating nonsense Fox talking points.

No. The line attorneys recommended a sentence based on the federal sentencing guidelines for the crimes for which Stone was convicted. The new DOJ recommendation asks for a sentence that is less than the minimum in the federal guidelines. The DOJ position now reads like is was written by the defense rather than by the prosecution.

Oh yes, they can manufacture dirt just like the Ukrainians were asked to do on Joe Biden, except the leaders at DOJ are Trump's henchmen so they'll actually do it. So of course you have no doubt.

Wake up!

There is no Rule of Law under Trump! Ethical lawyers have been jumping ship at DoJ for a long time, and he prioritized stacking the bench with conservatives.

Like Maher has been saying: Trump operates like a dictator.

BTW: America has no system of checks and balances. We have a dangerously unethical dictator, and apparently there’s nothing anyone can do about it.

Where’s the outrage? Oh, it’s in the other thread where woke liberals are perseverating over Bloomberg’s comments from several years ago. But nobody is concerned that Trump has succeeded at changing the very fabric of our democracy. SMDH.


Hyperbolic much?

Yeah, Cadet Bonespur is a clown and very unethical, but its nothing that we cant recover from.


DP...not hyperbolic. The senate is now a rubber stamp for Trump. He has reshaped the courts and he has gutted justice. The wheels of justice now work to protect the likes of Flynn, Stone and Prince.


Yet another DP. Agree, not hyperbolic. This is seriously wrong what is happening at DOJ. People need to wake the F up.

+1. This is basically firing Mueller because Jessie Liu (replaced and offered another job, but that has now been pulled) and her prosecutors were the successors to the Mueller cases after the Special Counsel’s office closed. This thread does a good job of laying it out.

So? That's what government attorneys regularly do, and then the defense comes back with a much lower recommendation. Then it's up to the judge who oftentimes splits the difference.

This is why we know this is being done to appease King Donald - because it's not the DOJ's job to make the defense's arguments.

Process crimes are still crimes. The crimes that Stone committed are an assault on the core of the rule of law and thus, have to be punished harshly.
