5. Threatening judges works

Threaten a judge and get a much reduced sentence.

[triron]

6. Something worked.

Should have been 10 years.

[ooky]

7. She didn't cave.

40 months in prison is no picnic.

[mcar]

8. Read what she said during sentencing

she did not cave.

[triron]

10. She didn't follow up. Why?

[Buns_of_Fire]

9. 40 months, 40 years, it's all the same.

He'll never spend a day of it behind bars.

[Midnightwalk]

12. That's what i think too

Either a new trial will be granted or the doj won’t argue effectively on appeal. If barr gets his way a new trial will have an unmotivated prosecutor.

I don’t think it’ll even take a pardon

I would be very happy to be wrong.

11. No. The 7 to 9 year recommendation was very harsh.

I think few knowledgeable observers, including those unfriendly to Stone, expected him to get that much. I think it was a case of starting with a high bid.

[krissey]

13. Over three years.

[EndlessWire]

14. They are conditioning me

to think about the death penalty. Gosh, destroying our country and tearing up the Constitution comes mighty cheap. These are privileged rat weasels.

[Ms. Toad]

15. Perhaps the sentence was significantly less than the original recommendation

with the hope that a significant, albeit not sufficient, sentence might deter a pardon.
