“I didn’t speak to them, by the way. Just so you understand,” Trump said. “They saw the horribleness of a nine-year sentence for doing nothing.”
I guess he’s forgotten about this:
The Department of Justice is treating President Trump’s frequent Twitter posts as official statements, attorneys for the government wrote in a new federal court filing.
SO YEAH you fucking liar, you did talk to them

“It’s really incredible. I can just think about shooting someone on Fifth Avenue and boom! It happens! I love how everyone just agrees with me and I don’t have to say a thing! Wait … what was I saying? You aren’t recording this, are you? Fake news! FAKE NEWS!”

Riiiiight. Also, there was no quid pro quo on that perfect phone call.

Why would he rule out a pardon? He is entirely unaccountable to anything other than his entirely worshipful kkkult. Besides, now that we’ve apparently decided on Bernie, he’s just going to get more and more confident as they review years and years of footage of Bernie saying socialist stuff and sounding like a Bolshevik for their campaign attack ads. Will it work? Who knows, but they certainly believe it will…and “Bolshevik” certainly seems to be shaping up to be something we will hear day in, day out as a constant drumbeat for the next 9 months now.

Attention Chief Justice Roberts: Is the President’s public attack on a federal judge a ball or a strike? Perhaps you should, you know, say something in defense of Judge Jackson? Just a thought. Sorry to disturb you while you pretend to be asleep.

Just imPotus flexing, trying to buffalo the judge into a token sentence so he doesn’t have to consider a pardon. Don’t think it’ll work; this ain’t the “otherwise blameless” type of judge.

I’m afraid you’ve gone out on a limb here, and you might want to reverse course.

We shall see. Bloomberg is certainly doing everything he can to make it so.

He has done nothing but spend money so far.
And not to help Bernie.

And suck up Biden support. I even read something today that he’s siphoning off POC from Biden’s support base…and that’s despite his stop and frisk bullshit. Granted, Buttigieg and Klobuchar appear to be doing likewise with the white ones because people seem to have decided on the age thing, but whatever.
The Dems deserve what they get this year for running a vanity festival primary, especially if it results in us chasing PA, OH, MI and WI right back into Trump’s lap.

Trump said that Stone “was treated horribly”
Sounds like what he said about Michael Cohen before throwing him under the bus. Stone will stay “loyal”.

Well when this is all decided we can all Trump’s first term as Vea Annis. And please God don’t let him have another 4 years.
Actually I think Trump wants the judge to ignore the DoJ recommendations and give a long sentence to Stone. The longer sentence the judge gives him just amplifies Trump’s outrage and excuse when the time comes to pardon Stone - which is a certainty.

What would happen if nobody paid any attention to Trump’s tweets? Nobody in government, nobody in the media. Just pretend it never occurred. What would happen? I don’t understand how Trump throws everything into turmoil with tweets. How does he get away with it?
