Also read the CNN report on the sentence of 40 months for Roger Stone, associate of Donald Trump, for obstruction of an official proceeding, five counts of false statements and one count of witness tampering in the Mueller investigation of Russian meddling during the 2016 presidential campaign.  The case reveals ongoing polarization over US law enforcement and worries about political influence after the US attorney general intervened, suggesting that sentencing guidelines of seven to nine years were harsh.
