Prosecutors from the US Attorney's office in Washington, who are employees of the Justice Department, had said Monday that Stone should be sentenced to seven to nine years in prison after he was convicted on seven charges last year that derived from special counsel Robert Mueller's investigation, including lying to Congress and witness tampering.
Our sentencing memo outlined our position on the recommendation made yesterday by the government. We look forward to reviewing the government's supplemental filing," Smith said in a statement. Stone's attorneys had argued a sentence of 15 to 21 months would be appropriate.Stone lied to Congress five times while testifying to the US House privately in September 2017 about his attempts to gain information from WikiLeaks and help Trump.
Unfair situation is trump. He thinks he is king. Come on now! wake up America . VOTE to get him out of office. Dictatorship we do not want in AMERICA.
No Trump fan here , Trump can pardon anyone he wants to all this is is nothing but news drama , It would be a big story if the DOJ lawyers quit their jobs filed whistleblower charges and then let the Democrats start the impeachment again
Come on America it’s time for trump to go before he does something really stupid
Just lie whenever you want CNN
How sad and corrupt our government has become in this country
He's starting to act just like his buddies Putin and Jung-Un. He's infatuated with running this country 'under his thumb' just like he runs the Trump organization. Those people can't wipe their ass without Donald's approval.
Trump is against any form of injustice, be it against Clint Lorance that was harshly punished & pardoned by Trump or against Stone, a friend of his. He is fighting for justice for Americans. Roger being his friend is not a reason for Trump to look the other way.
USA no different than Russia where Putin does as he pleases and awards national contracts to his cronies. Can't wait till the clueless imposter in Chief starts it officially

Wake up America!!!!
It’s not unfair. It’s the God damn, mother fucking law and we apparently just ignore it now in this country!!!!!
banana republic
Should we expect the same treatment when we commit a crime?
Piss poor reporting as usual. The DOG uppers were miffed BEFORE Trump made his Tweet.
Trump continues his power over-reach. Say goodbye to the DOJ as an independent agency, and hello to its existence as an arm of Trump's whim. Thank you, Senate Republicans.
This is total BS! Trump is responsible for this reversal! People of America! How long are we going to take this. This is certainly an abuse of power! Absolutely!
Corrupt Trump mob
Corrupt Judge! Change the ruling because Trump disapproves? Is the Rule of Law dead in the USA?
The reversal was in the pipeline long before the President tweeted.
Why does realDonaldTrump care how many years they give Stone? BoneSpurs is just going to pardon him anyway
I have seen similar outcomes in what we can call “banana republics”.... pretty sad
Of course they have they've drank the trump koolaid
REMBER THE SOVIET UNION WE ARE YOU CAN DO ALL KINDS OF SHIT LAWLESS NO LAWS GO AHEAD AMERICANS HAVE FUN!!!
