(18,131 posts)Prosecutors recommended a sentence about twice as long. I thought shed come in on the short side of their range, but not half as long.

(40,238 posts)I have no doubt that the judge wanted to make sure that Stone couldn't argue this was too harsh or unfair.

(15,051 posts)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.
