That said, I'm much more upset at the way that conservatives have wrecked the credibility of DOJ. Pretty sure the judge won't be impressed with DOJ's final sentencing request, but this was about DOJ trying to please Trump, not persuade the judge. And that's a shame.

Right. I have no way of judging what's too harsh or not too harsh, but there are guidelines and you don't ignore them to please the president, who shouldn't be anywhere near the decision-making on this.
