From the article:

The justice system should be in the business of ensuring sentences are commensurate with the offense. I am sure that the progressives cheering Stone’s recommended sentence (you know, the same ones who advocate for criminal justice reform) would be appalled at a similar recommendation for other non-violent crimes, like drug possession or shoplifting. Meanwhile, the average rapist in America serves just four years in prison. Anthony Weiner, a Democrat, was notably sentenced to just 21 months for sending photos of his penis to a minor. Isn’t that worse?

Perhaps most concerning is that new details suggest Stone was not even granted a fair trial. The lead juror in his case, Tomeka Hart, was a Democratic candidate for Congress in 2012, routinely followed the Russian collusion investigation via social media, and had posted numerous negative stories about Trump, including calling him the ‘#KlanPresident’. In January 2019, Hart retweeted a CNN analyst admonishing people who took issue with the FBI raid on Stone’s home after his indictment.

Are we really supposed to believe, as Hart claimed in court, that she did not ‘pay that close attention’ to the Russia probe and that her views of Trump wouldn’t affect her opinion of Stone? Judge Amy Berman Jackson, an Obama appointee responsible for putting Paul Manafort in solitary confinement, has denied Stone a new trial based on allegations that Hart was a biased juror. Jackson also implemented a rather unusual full gag order on Stone during the trial, preventing him from speaking about any aspects of the case.

The facts all seem to add up to Stone being railroaded over his political inclinations.
