Trump over the weekend retweeted several conservative personalities and stories attempting to connect the Republican senator (Romney) to the Ukrainian energy company Burisma and its former board member Hunter Biden

Senior Justice Department officials intervened to overrule front-line prosecutors and will recommend a more lenient sentence for Roger J. Stone Jr., convicted last year of impeding investigators in a bid to protect his longtime friend President Trump, a senior department official said Tuesday.

The highly unusual move prompted one of the government’s key prosecutors to resign and another to withdraw from the case.

I admire their doing what's right but it's pathetically ineffective against a tyrant like Trump. Hopefully the Judge has the courage to throw the book at Stone and withstand the tweet storm and threats to follow.

He should then be pardoned. You're "throwing the book" who did nothing more than pretend he had a connection to Wikileaks to make himself look important.

Bill Clinton only won 1 of the first 11 primaries so either of them can come back from this.

The sooner the choice becomes clear, the better. The very last thing we need is a contested convention.

totally disagree. well, don't necessarily want a contested convention, but the best way to judge if someone is electable is to see if they can actually get people to vote for them. I'd be fine with that continuing on for a few months. In 2016 Trump didn't clinch until May, while the DNC had a presumptive nominee all along. I'm not sure why we should assume one is better than the other.
