The real question here is, why are you such a sucker for some of the stupid pro-Tump talking points?

A judge issues decisions and opinions on that which is proven before her. Saying Stone was protecting his boss, lying to obfuscate or inhibit prosecution? Totally proven things.
Saying Stone was covering up for Trump? Them's loaded words, and they assert something that has not been proven. She should have been more cautious.
These aren't talking points. They're views which differ from yours. You think this judge is beyond reproach. I think she said something she shouldn't have said.
Very often, you will find the one thing someone is wrong about in a post where the person has been right about 99 other things, and you will hammer them on that sole flaw. The judge faces similar scrutiny here. She offered what appeared a completely normal sentencing, until she made that one mistake. And that one mistake will be what Trump seizes upon when he commutes Stone's sentence.
(Why do I take this side? I always take the Defendant's side. Except in things like Weinstein. I don't carry water for violent criminals or criminals who've punched downward.)
