BREAKING: Roger Stone Sentenced...[40mos]

[skeeter]

This guy gets a pass and Stone gets buried

Ex-Senate staffer from Ellicott City gets two months behind bars for lying to FBI

What the difference?  Mr. Wolfe just happens to be a Democrat and what he did is 100 times worse than anything Stone allegedly did!

Try those FACTS on for size. @Applewood

It's obvious for those with ears to hear, @Bigun. & it's no coincidence those who cheer or simply shrug at Stone's sentence are the same who've already declared their undying dislike for POTUS. As if it's not possible to dislike Trump and still recognize a clear politically motivated prosecution.

It confirms the prejudice.

Judge agrees 7 to 9 years is too harsh, and says she doubts she would have thought differently even if not for "unprecedented actions of the Department of Justice in the past week." But says probation is also "insufficient."

Putting it more plainly, Jackson agreed with the Trump Justice Department's opinion that the 7-9 year request was very excessive, explicitly and in her 40 month sentence.

IMO, the now-resigned prosecutors did it to stir up @#$%.

Only one actually resigned (took a lucrative job in private sector); the other three are still employed by the Justice Department doing damage as moles somewhere else within the department.

It’s all a dog and pony show.

I don't have time (or the inclination) to go through this and every other case that sounds similar to Roger Stone's.  Looks to me though that Mr. Wolfe pled guilty to one of the three counts he was charged with.  Perhaps his sentence was part of a plea deal?  I don't know.  But it seems to me that maybe his circumstances (other than him being a Democrat) were different from Stone's. 

And it appears that Mr. Wolfe had a different judge (both surnamed Jackson, but different first and middle names).  I said this several times before -- while there are sentencing guidelines, judges do have some discretion in deciding sentences.  One may be more inclined to be lenient, while another more of a law and order tough guy (or gal).  And also -- wasn't Roger Stone found to have violated the judge's gag order at one point in the case?.  Not a good idea to tick off a judge since, if you are found guilty, he or she is the one who decides on your sentence.

Ok, wasted too much time on this.  Gotta go over to the Pets thread to get a dose of cute.  LOL
