Prosecutors Set to Demand Seven to Nine Years in Prison For Roger Stone's Process Crimes;
DOJ Steps In
The lawyers who have picked up the torch from Mueller wanted seven to nine years incarceration for Roger Stone, while Comey and McCabe remain not even charged with a crime.
The DOJ has finally stepped in.The Department of Justice is preparing to change its sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone after top brass were "shocked" at the stiff prison term initially being sought, according to a senior DOJ official. “The Department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the filing in the stone case last night,” the official told Fox News. “The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.” In documents filed on Monday evening, prosecutors from the U.S. Attorney’s Office in Washington recommended Stone serve 87 to 108 months after being convicted of lying to Congress and witness tampering. The department is now expected to scale that back. “The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Mr. Stone’s offenses,” the source told Fox News, adding that the DOJ will clarify its position on sentencing later Tuesday.Meanwhile, the judge in the Flynn case has postponed the sentencing hearing indefinitely because the prosecutors asked for extensions to their deadlines to respond to Flynn's filings.
The move by Judge Emmet Sullivan comes a day after federal prosecutors filed a rare Sunday motion to delay a number of approaching deadlines that would ultimately make Flynn’s Feb. 27 sentencing unlikely. The delay also comes weeks after Flynn withdrew his guilty plea. In their filing, prosecutors argued that Flynn’s former attorneys should testify after he claimed to have received ineffective assistance from them. Flynn had previously hired the premier D.C. law firm, Covington & Burling. Federal lawyers also asked the judge to order that Flynn has his attorney-client privileges in his communications with Covington & Burling waived.

1. who found (as a legal term) that he lied
2. who (I don't know what the next step is) filed charges of lying to Congress
3. (again don't know next step) took it up as a matter for the courts (exactly which courts?)
4. actually brought the charges forward in a trial
Then explain where this has stopped in the legal process of finding that say Comey lied to Congress.

As far as I can tell, both of them are blowhards who have spent their careers talking shit about everything they've ever been involved with, and who no court should ever have believed on anything. I think Roger Stone is a loud mouthed idiot who can't stop talking, not even to protect himself, but that what he did wasn't worthy of any jail time.

A big part of the Stone "crime" was some alleged inside knowledge about Assange, which seems to all be just what everyone else knew. And the Assange side of the Seth Rich story, and the fake story that the evidence came from Russia (not Seth) ... is also part of why they badly needed to silence Stone.
So Stone got the Obama judge to gag order him, while the Coup Plotters had 24/7 propaganda rights on the MSM. Now they want to lock him away forever, as they did to Assange, Manafort, Epstein, etc. DoJ finally "intervening" seems like too little too late ... the Coup continues.

The claim, per my understanding, is that Trump told Manafort to ask a subordinate to go to Stone to get the Wikileaks E-Mails from the DNC to use it for the campaign.
The problem is that:
1) The E-Mails were already public. The press claims that this was an attempt to front-run the document dump, but the dates don't line up.
2) It's patently insane. Why would Trump ask a guy to ask a guy to ask another guy to get information from another guy? It's laughable, especially in a small campaign with a lot of a delegation of powers.

And I thought that the whole Pentagon Papers decision was something about no one is criminally liable for handling or disseminating stolen secrets unless they were part of the initial conspiracy to steal them (unless bound by some other confidentiality law).
If Stone goes to jail on this half the newsrooms in the country should be carted off.

The correct answer is walking around money. Steyer is showering it on SC ministers and their flocks along with his ads. He is there basically as a spoiler which makes me think that the DNC wants to fix the race between the anti-Sanders and Sanders via a splitting strategy.
Steyer will get his money back via green dreams legislation for playing his role just as Bernie got a house from the 2016 race.

Seems like there's something very unhealthy about going to school and getting a lot of debt to formally make arguments for a living, and how it can psychologically condition you into believing every argument you make.
Posted by: joe, living dangerously
------------
The very first thing that a student learns upon entering law school is (and always remember this):
For every argument, there is a counter-argument. It need not have merit, it need not be logical, it may be fallacious, founded in untruth and intentional misrepresentation, but it must be made.
I have some number of friends who are lawyers. They all share one quality, at the drop of a hat, they will shift into lawyer mode. Even in the most casual of conversations. I have to remind them that they are making a lawyer's argument, rather having a discussion.

I like to look at timelines.
Biden had been planning since December to lose Iowa and NH (to different winners) but then backstop his campaign with back to back wins in NV and SC.
By going straight to SC he is telling NV he doesn't need them.
And he will lose there, which means he will have 3 losses on the board going into SC.

Lawyers construct all kinds of arguments using logical fallacies in order to win an argument. The ancient Greeks recognized the type as demagogues and the argumentation style as rhetoric.
Dialectic talk to a lawyer is like a cross to a vampire. That is why many trial lawyers used to talking to juries suck as appellate attorneys because appellate judges do not reward trial lawyer argumentation tricks in briefs or oral arguments.

And Trump tweeting about the injustice here might be a new thing - does the DOJ team not see good indications Stone will be pardoned? Would think this would apply to the Flynn team as well.
But the Flynn case - again, from its first breath to this week - needs to be autopsied and revealed in detail, every outrageous bit. Does Barr *really* want to repair DOJ and begin to try and regain some respect for it? I mean, more than Wray appears to (based on his public statements and attitude)?

Keep the populace drugged up while he finishes what Obama started. . . For example, look at his Domestic Policy Director:
The presidential campaign of former South Bend Mayor Pete Buttigieg
has taken the unusual step of sending its national policy director,
Sonal Shah, on the road. . .
Shah's background positions her well
to connect with the high-net-worth individuals within the Democratic
Party that are powering Buttigieg's bid and are concerned about income
inequality, climate change, health disparities, or other social
inequities. While she was a top official at both Goldman Sachs and
Google before joining the Obama administration --- spanning the two
dominant elements of the corporate wing of the party, Wall Street and
Silicon Valley --- she worked in the divisions of those firms publicly
dedicated to doing social good. At Goldman, she designed environmental
strategy. At Google, she did global development. More recently, she
became founding executive director of the Beeck Center for Social Impact and Innovation.

But as I said, I assume all these garbage people on both the Flynn and Stone cases have to realize that the pardon weapon is likely to be deployed in each case. Amazing that they persist (though in the Flynn case there appears to be a bit of feet-shuffling and mumbling in a backward direction).
But I don't see how Barr could accept what we already know about the Flynn case (FBI prosecution behavior/performance), leave alone the conflict aspects the defense is pursuing now.

The problem for an institutionalist like Barr is how do you unscramble the omelet composed of bad eggs and good eggs? I think that Barr's approach is simply to wait them out, moving personnel around, and tidying up the crime scene.
An institutionalist believes that the institutions like the FBI and DOJ are basically good but with merely some bad people that need to be removed from power.
Thus, the risks to an institutionalist of widespread overturning of convictions and prosecutions due to airing FBI and DOJ due to misconduct is not worth that risk. My guess is that Trump replaces Barr and Wray after the elections in 2020 if he wins depending on control of the Senate. Right now, the corrupt folks in the Senate are more or less keeping fixing the problem at bay--see Chairman of Senate Judiciary Lindsay for example.

That was the bit that pissed me off the most (got dragged to see it by a female friend). There was a really interesting plot under there, with the whole overdose thing plus the multiple motives. Played straight or as a black comedy it could have been really, really good, but nooooooo, they had to get all Current Year and ruin it.

One of the FBI reforms/punishments should be prohibiting them from using
302s (interview summaries) as evidence. Make the FBI record all their
interviews. No more taking the agent's word for it. Trump could
basically do this by Executive Order. FBI/DOJ has to listen to what the
president says, right?

Until then Nunes, is a far lonelier voice than he should be.
Nice thing for those who didn't spend their lives in/close to the beast, they may be mad but they actually have no idea how bad things are, how much standards have evaporated and how few serious people with integrity remain.

We are going to have to reduce the FBI into a regular law enforcement agency and return foreign intelligence to the military only. Perhaps, we should also create a separate counterintelligence civilian agency with no criminal investigatory powers that would be required to go through the DOJ for referral for criminal prosecutions.
If the military was involved in misconduct of surveillance, the UCMJ offers an excellent way to remedy this situation as opposed to civil justice as attorneys, judges, and the jury can be required to have security clearances, closed sessions involving sensitive programs can be closed, etc.

Fish pun aside [glares] she's entirely unprepossessing. This run is either ego or a stab at campaign money.

Like Bernie as Socialist party member and leader, she is a party member and leader of the Democrat Farm Labor party. Both caucus with (D)s, and I think DFL is only active in MN.

rhomboid, I think I got willowed last night, but OT on your partisan comments, I can't recommend strongly enough "The Ascent." Filmed in the 70's in USSR in bitter cold when there were still people around who remembered WWII. It's a work of fiction, but practically a documentary.

You may be familiar with the following quotation:
"But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same Object, evinces a design to reduce them under absolute Despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such Government, and to provide new Guards for their future security".
Please, DON'T make us have to repeat ourselves, okay?!
