Prosecutors recommended a sentence about twice as long. I thought she’d come in on the short side of their range, but not half as long.

guess not......damn, I wanted more, at least 5 - 7 years. Yah, I’m not happy. Well won’t matter anyway, he’ll be pardoned.

I have no doubt that the judge wanted to make sure that Stone couldn't argue this was too harsh or unfair.

But right now, there's about a 90% chance he'll never see the inside of a prison, thanks to the Madman. So it's a moo point, I suppose.

The ball is in Dolt45's court now. He needs Stone to believe he's going to pardon him if he just stays loyal, but actually doing it removes Stone's incentive to keep quiet. OTOH, the more of his sentence Stone actually serves the more impatient he's going to get with Trump. Quite a pickle.

I think that is amazing...I think 3 years is enough. It will be very difficult for him.
