Justice Department Will Recommend Lighter Sentence for Roger Stone After Trump Tweet (4 Prosecutors resign in response)
- Thread starter stew
- Start date
Because it upsets liberals, and that's all conservatives care about anymore. They don't care that Trump is becoming a fascist. As long as it makes liberals upset, and he continues to hurt black and brown people, then it's all worth it.
Best guess might be a game of plinko, but I imagine all the possible outcomes are prison sentences for people who testified against Trump.
Because it's their mob.
I don't know why any of you expect a single Republican to be a decent person anymore
For me, the most depressing part is that millions of Americans actually embrace the descent into a dictatorship. Like, what were those decades of claiming Democracy and rule of law mattered if you're going to cheer on one racist reality TV show host that wants to burn down the constitution while using it as his justification for everything he's doing?
And that 25% of the economy is concentrated at the top 1%. Time to break out the confetti-whoo hoo. If you're fine with how things currently are-congrats I guess.
I flip flop between hopefulness and despair on practically a daily basis. The 2018 election was hopefully a sign of things to come, but what's to say that America actually got even stupider in the intervening years?
From the case. Subject header should be a lot clearer about that.
Of course, the even bigger issue is that November is a LONG FUCKING TIME FROM NOW.
100%. I dunno why he didn't pardon him instead of doing it like this.
Yep. When I was like 12, I was baffled at how the rise of Hitler happened. Now, it makes perfect sense.
I remember when that clip of Glenn Beck using the "boiling a frog" metaphor during the Obama administration was making the rounds. Might be time to resurrect it for Trumpo & co.
Kravis, could be the only one but I can't tell if he just withdrawled from his position or from the organization entirely and he didn't comment.
If you aint just now got off the phone excoriating your Shithole Coward Banana Republican Senator for being a shithole and coward and this is their fault for acquiting him, you aint civil dutying right. Cuz I sure did.
And who's Putin's lapdog?
And who's Putin's lapdog?
Three have quit the case/DC office, one has reportedly resigned from the DOJ altogether.
Economic loss is the only thing that can push Americans to wake up so we need a recession or depression and even then there would still be 35% of America that rides or dies for Trump
It hasn't even been a week since the Senate acquitted. It's almost like he knows he won't be held accountable for anything.
All four are gone

“All four line prosecutors who signed the original Roger Stone sentencing recommendation for 7-9 years incarceration have withdrawn from the case this afternoon.”

He did the Ukraine thing almost immediately after it was clear nothing was going to come from the Mueller report. It's a pattern. He's never had to be held accountable for anything in his whole life.
It really is kind of fucking insane we could all long for the days of Jeff Sessions and Rex Tillerson.
DEEP STATE!
DEEP STATE!
Some of them have bought completely into this conspiracy garbage so they already don't give two shits about a functioning government.
The remaining don't give a shit as long as they think it will give em a win.
So presumably now the DOJ will get some of its more hackish AUSAs who will say they Jackson should depart from the sentencing guidelines because reasons, and defense attorneys throughout this great land will now argue the sentencing guidelines are meaningless, citing this clusterfuck of corruption.
EDIT: Apparently the DOJ did in fact say that. A gift to child traffickers everywhere, straight from Donald J. Trump.

On Twitter they're cheering this on. They say its "Draining the Swamp." AKA "Getting rid of anyone who dares challenge us."
