What a stupid framing of things! Why wasn't it "interference" when three left-wing AUSA's sought a politically motivated excessive sentence? More stupid mendacity from the Left.
Shouldn't have stopped them, instead he should have just pardoned Stone as soon as they were done. Going for an excessive sentence is legit cause to do so.
Unfortunately, Barr is too much of a Deep-Stater to get rid of the corrupt prosecutors in the DOJ. We're rid of four scumbags, but that was *their* choice. They should all be disbarred for using a man's freedom as a prop for a political stunt.
Cheering political interference with career prosecutors to get a reduced sentence for an unrepentant and undeserving convicted felon while denigrating the prosecutors with baseless aspersions is just the type of mendacious garbage that we have come to expect from those who blindly worship at the altar of Trump.
I don't like it when any president pardons an undeserving felon, they should be reserved for miscarriages of justice not to let political cronies off the hook. Trump is going to be a busy man if he waits until after the election, still waiting on the Flynn sentencing and the often forgotten Gates conviction. I hear Bernie Madoff is now asking for his pardon, now there's another deserving character.
Hahah - I'm sure that Madoff is one of the very few people (other than Putin and Kim Jong Un) that Trump admires!

Let me help you then. The excessive sentence is per DOJ guidelines that prosecutors should recommend sentences within the written guidelines. They did so. This isn't rocket science, its how our justice system works. In fact they would have to violate those rules to give a lower recommendation. Notice how todays filings do not refer to the sentencing guidelines at all? Thats because simply put the sentencing guidelines are there specifically to set sentences. And left wing? Please. Thats a cop out. The guidelines are the guidelines. This is what happens when you do what Stone did.
You want to argue unjust? Sure! That is a fair argument, but again....I point you to the fact that these sentences are arrived at via a very precise formula. That would apply to anyone doing this in the same circumstances. Now can the judge depart from the guidelines? Of course. Thats what we look at to provide justice when the guidelines are too extreme. But the reality is....often we sentence folks to insane amounts of time for minor crimes. We've sentenced people to decades for stealing 100 bucks. Roger Stone is getting a sentence that we have said is fair based on the guidelines we normally use.
And honestly, this guy lied to congress, and then threatened a witness, and ignored the judges orders regularly like he was above the law. He deserves a long sentence.

Let's see your calculation, then.
