Read our privacy policy The dandyish criminal Roger Stone got his just desserts today, as United States District Court Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentenced the Republican operative to 40 months in prison. And, as a patriot, I am gravely disturbed by the final result of Stone’s sentencing, which betrays an indisputable truth about the current iteration of the American justice system: Things are very deeply broken indeed. Despite a flaccid attempt to reclaim moral authority — Barr went on television last week to assert that he is an independent arbiter of the law, and that his opinions are based on right versus wrong, as opposed to political persuasion — the Attorney General’s credibility is shot. The president’s tweet about the so-called injustice of the sentencing recommendation was almost immediately met with a revision, and it’s impossible not to draw from that revision the conclusion that the president’s desires will always usurp the mission of justice, so long as William Barr is Attorney General of the United States.
