    Trump's current post-impeachment pardon spree gives the impression he is softening the public for more pardons of his associates who he thinks were treated unfairly.

    Stone's sentencing is scheduled for February 20, 2020.

    Flynn's sentencing has been postponed repeatedly due to numerous legal maneuvers by his attorneys.

    Manafort is in prison until late 2024.

    Trump pardoned Sheriff Arpaio before he could be sentenced..

    Trump currently has a variety of options for pardoning the swamp.

    He said he likes to pardon people because it's an absolute presidential right and he doesn't need approval from congress.

    State charges against Manafort or anyone else (including Trump) are outside the scope of Trump's power to pardon.

    Manafort should stay in prison

    But that Flynn guy is a national hero

    And Stone 6 to 12 months sounds about right

    The problem with that is the DOJ (Under Trump) rewrote the rules back in 2017 that all prosecutors should ask for the maximum penalty if the witness doesn’t cooperate.
    You can't change the rules because he's a personal friend

    Stone should DIE IN PRISON - Period!

    Two long time DOJ officials (40 years of experience combined) stated they never asked for anything less than the maximum penalty when the defendant didn’t cooperate.


    Over those same 40 years they couldn’t think of a single case (that’s thousands of cases) that went through the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the District of Columbia, that requested a lesser sentence.

    President Trump was on Geraldo’s podcast this week and openly admitted he sent Giuliani over to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Joe Biden, unbelievable.


    Geraldo was picking Trumps brain on a wide variety of issues, yeah, and you thought Capone’s vault was empty" …lol…...Bill Maher

    ,????


    Two videos that don't have anything to do with your claim they went 40 years always seeking max sentencing

    You watch too much CNN. If there are 113,000 current DoJ employees, how many former employees are there, 300,000?

    So what the big deal about 2000 signatures

    NBC News/WSJ poll: Sanders opens up double-digit lead nationally

    NBC News/WSJ poll: Sanders opens up double-digit lead nationally

    excerpt:

    "LAS VEGAS — Sen. Bernie Sanders has jumped out to a double-digit national lead in the Democratic presidential contest after his victory in New Hampshire's primary and his second-place finish for delegates in Iowa's disorganized caucuses, while former Vice President Joe Biden has seen his support drop by 11 points since his disappointing finishes in both contests, according to an NBC News/Wall Street Journal poll released Tuesday.

    The survey also shows former New York Mayor Mike Bloomberg gaining ground in the Democratic race in the past month, confirming the findings of an earlier NPR/PBS/Marist poll that allowed him to qualify for Wednesday night's NBC News and MSNBC Democratic debate in Las Vegas."

    Geraldo asked Trump a question that implied Trump sent Giuliani to Ukraine to dig up dirt on Biden. Trump apparently didn't see the implication of the question and went along and agreed with Geraldo that he indeed sent Giuliani to Ukraine after previously denying it.

    This is why Trump's defense attorneys don't ever want Trump (ten steps ahead of everyone) speaking face to face with an investigator such as Mueller, which would be disasterous.

    Trump says he'd love to meet Mueller for an interview, but didn't; he'd love to attend his impeachment hearings but didn't; he'd love to publicly read the complete Ukraine phone call, but didn't; he'd be happy to release his tax returns, but didn't.

    Geraldo was able to extract something of value from Trump's vault.

    Post of a blogger:


    "By doing all these pardons, including one for a democrat that was a contestant on TV reality show, he is continuing to make more statements that as President he has the right to do whatever he wants, claiming he is essentially the 'Chief of Police' for the entire country & has authorization to override any & all decisions by all judges & court system.

    He is setting the stage to over ride all court cases for all individuals - including Stone & himself (the Supreme Court will be hearing his case regarding suits filed to obtain his tax returns & financial records); he also believes he can have Barr pursue investigations on anyone & everyone who dares to speak out against him.

    In Trump's world he is the ONLY person allowed to criticize, insult & ridicule others, but those who make negative claims about him are subject to punishment & those who lie under oath to support him will have their case disputed or receive a pardon..

    Trump & his family members, along with their bank & GOP buddies like McConnell have a long record of receiving financial assistance from foreign countries run by dictators & Russian oligarchs - which is why he will move heaven & hell to keep the courts from obtaining his financial reports.

    His perpetual campaign that the media is lying & the only one telling the truth is him & his buddies with FOX & GOP loyalists wanting to keep their jobs. Everything he does is self serving & Barr is one of his servants."

    The Trump double standard.


    Attorney General Orders Tougher Sentences, Rolling Back Obama Policy
    By Rebecca R. Ruiz

    Attorney General Orders Tougher Sentences, Rolling Back Obama Policy

    excerpt:

    "WASHINGTON — Attorney General Jeff Sessions has ordered federal prosecutors to pursue the toughest possible charges and sentences against crime suspects, he announced Friday, reversing Obama administration efforts to ease penalties for some nonviolent drug violations.

    The drastic shift in criminal justice policy, foreshadowed during recent weeks, is Mr. Sessions’s first major stamp on the Justice Department, and it highlights several of his top targets: drug dealing, gun crime and gang violence.

    In an eight-paragraph memo, Mr. Sessions returned to the guidance of President George W. Bush’s administration by calling for more uniform punishments — including mandatory minimum sentences — and instructing prosecutors to pursue the harshest possible charges. Mr. Sessions’s policy is broader than that of the Bush administration, however, and how it is carried out will depend more heavily on the judgments of United States attorneys and assistant attorneys general as they bring charges.

    The policy signaled a return to “enforcing the laws that Congress has passed,” Mr. Sessions said Friday at the Justice Department, characterizing his memo as unique for the leeway it afforded prosecutors.

    “They deserve to be un-handcuffed and not micromanaged from Washington,” he said. “It means we are going to meet our responsibility to enforce the law with judgment and fairness.”

    He pardoned a woman who was found guilty of more than $200 million in Medicare fraud. So much for his Medicare bullshit.
