Here, the judge was/is free to rip the prosecutors for throwing frivolous leverage arguments at the court. The system is adversarial, but it’s not a “throw all the feces you can and see what works” process.

The DOJ is doing that which the judge should have been allowed to do.

Your comment that Credico is afraid of Stone and lying in his letter is to stupid to merit reply. Come on... that’s slumming for one of your usual insight.

Mueller’s minions are hall monitors of the worst kind. That prosecution of the Obama White House lawyer was outrageous. Thankfully, he was acquitted. Now how does he get back the million or so dollars and mental anguish over that ordeal?

Does the prosecutor say “sorry”?

Stone’s guilty. He took a dumb chance. He’s been ruined financially and will do time. Did those prosecutors really need an 8 level enhancement for what they knew was bullshit? Come on.
The fact that you care about all of this shit and are talking about it instead of the fact that the PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES IS MEDDLING WITH DECISIONS MADE BY CRIMINAL PROSECUTIONS. The Titanic hit an iceberg and you're worried about the damage to the iceberg.

Yes, this is the system, working. You have totally lost your mind.
