Pardon Flynn, commute Stone's sentence (imo)

 

It's too early to pardon General Flynn. The case needs to play itself out, if for no other reason than to continue to expose the corruption that continues to go on within the DOJ.

Holy schiff. That's pretty egregious misconduct, if true.

 

 

...counselor, I'm assuming that calls for a retrial are a bit premature.....wouldn't the conviction have to be appealed, hoping the assigned Court of Appeals overturns the conviction and orders a new trial?...even if the appeal is denied, DOJ can take the original sentencing recommendation and lower it with  a Judge being the decision maker, correct?...........

Hard to say, I don't know the Federal Rules of Criminal Procedure that well. If it were a NY case, a motion could be made directly to the trial court to vacate the conviction based upon juror misconduct (and subsequently made part of an appeal if denied.) Not sure if the Federal Courts allow for something similar, or require the issue be raised on direct appeal.

 

As for sentencing, the judge alone makes that call. In fact, the federal rules specifically prohibit judges from having any type of conference with the prosecutor and defense attorney regarding sentence, even as part of plea negotiations. Judges can (and do) consider recommendations from both sides, but they alone make the call. That's why I think the idiots flipping out over Trump's tweets are hilarious.

Obama Interposed His Opinion in Hillary Clinton Case While Investigation Was Ongoing, But Democrats Said Nothing

Democrats have been flipping out over President Donald Trump’s tweets commenting on the sentencing of Roger Stone, saying he thought the sentence was excessive.

 

Let’s stipulate up front that this is not something that presidents should be doing as it tends to make it look like you’re politicizing things, even when you are not.

 

But let’s also stipulate that it’s the Democrats who have politicized this six ways to Sunday, not Trump and that they didn’t give a darn when Obama said and did far worse.

Expect them all to skate. It’s the norm.

 

But if you are God for bid associated with Trump, you get life in prison.

 

Justic is laughably bad in the political specter.
