The fix is in. The Prosecutors have proven their case, the jury has convicted him and he was set for sentencing. Then Trump sent Barr to "revise" the DOJ's position, completely back off of their original recommendation and "take charge" of the sentencing. The prosecutors who tried the case removed their names and themselves from the case in protest and now it appears that the entire matter will be within the presiding Judge's discretion despite the new and improved sentencing recommendation from Barr. This is rank, naked corruption all the while Trump tweets out about it in real time saying that the real criminals got away with their crimes and poor rat fucker Stone is being treated far too harshly. Its a giant whataboutism from Trump, who believes everyone is criminal and the only reason people ever get prosecuted is because they have bad politics.
