DOJ to change Roger Stone sentencing recommendation in wake of Trump’s Twitter tantrum: Fox News

DOJ to change Roger Stone sentencing recommendation in wake of Trump’s Twitter tantrum: Fox News
According to Fox News reporter Jake Gibson, the United States Department of Justice is planning to lower its sentencing recommendation for convicted Trump henchman Roger Stone after President Donald Trump threw a tantrum about the DOJ recommending Stone get at least seven years in prison...the "DOJ will clarify its position on sentencing later today.”

It's lucky for Roger Stone that he was just a wealthy white man convicted of obstruction of justice, perjury and witness tampering, and not, let's say, a black man selling loose cigarettes on a street corner, because there are serious consequences for that. - Jeff Tiedrich
