what a bullshit sentence re: Stone

[gopiscrap]

[irisblue]

1. For real

2. Jackson is susceptible to being worked just as much as an NFL referee.

3. He might end up not getting a pardon because of it, though, whereas a harsher sentence

might give Trump sufficient justification (in his mind) for a pardon. At least now there is some chance that he will serve all or most of his sentence.

10. That's what I'm thinking, too

If Trump's big objection, that the proposed sentence would be too harsh, then maybe he won't pardon Stone. OTOH, Trump is without shame.

4. This was the sentence he was always going to get

If you hang around the legal communities that talk about this, nobody gets the guidelines when it comes to something like this. And because, as the judge said, there's so little comparable.

I get it, we want to see these people punished, but we want appropriate punishments meted out to all. Which means things like this will be a bit raw for some.

5. Judge carefully determined it to make it appeal-proof (and I think it is, albeit not pardon-proof)

6. Quite the deterrent for lying, obstruction and

WITNESS TAMPERING/THREATENING. Good grief.

[onenote]

8. how much would you enjoy 3 plus years in prison plus $100,000s in legal fees?

12. I'll let you know

when I commit crimes that warrant 7-9 years.

[defacto7]

7. At least it would make a mockery of a pardon claiming

the sentence that was too harsh.

9. Doesn't matter, Cheeto will pardon him.

[dajoki]

11. Not nearly enough imo
