The question involving the Roger Stone sentence exploded this week after the DOJ said the sentence recommended by the prosecutors was excessive. Democrats then tried to claim that the DOJ was ‘interfering’ in their own case, implying it was on behalf of the President.
A senior Justice Department official said that they were shocked with the sentence recommended by the prosecutors and said Stone should be sentenced to far less than what the prosecutors had recommended, 87-108 months, 7-9 years for the first offense and non-violent offense. The DOJ official said the excessive sentence was far different from how the prosecutors had briefed DOJ leadership that they would proceed on the case. The “general communication” between the U.S. Attorney’s Office and the main DOJ had led senior officials to expect a more moderate sentence, the official told Fox News.
