"Extreme and Excessive" - DOJ Backing Down From Abusive Sentencing Recommendation For Roger Stone From Gateway Pundit: The Department of Justice is backing down from its abusive sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone. Federal Prosecutors on Monday recommended Trump confidante Roger Stone serve 7-9 years in prison for process crimes during the Mueller witch hunt. Roger Stone is a non-violent 67-year-old man who was caught up in Weissmann’s Mueller’s abusive witch hunt. The DOJ is now preparing to change its sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone. “The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate,” the source told Fox News. More from Fox News: The Justice Department is preparing to change its sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone after top brass were “shocked” at the stiff prison term initially being sought, according to a senior DOJ official. Federal prosecutors had recommended that Judge Amy Berman Jackson sentence Stone to between 87 and 108 months in prison for his conviction on seven counts of obstruction, witness tampering, and making false statements to Congress on charges that stemmed from former Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation. “The Department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the filing in the Stone case last night,” the official told Fox News. “The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.” The department is now expected to scale that back. “The Department finds seven to nine years extreme, excessive and grossly disproportionate to Mr. Stone’s offenses,” the source told Fox News, adding that the DOJ will clarify its position on sentencing later Tuesday. On Monday night President Trump posted on Twitter “This is a horrible and very unfair situation.” President Trump should pardon Roger Stone and everyone else caught up in Mueller’s witch hunt. https://www.thegatewaypundit.com/2020/02/extreme-and-excessive-doj-backing-down-from-abusive-sentencing-recommendation-for-roger-stone/
