As most readers know by now the entire team of Mueller appointed prosecutors involved in going after Roger Stone have withdrawn to protest the DOJ’s new sentencing memo, saying the recommended sentence of seven to nine years in prison “would not be appropriate.”
BREAKING: The entire team of federal prosecutors involved in Roger Stone’s case has withdrawn.
It was not immediately clear whether their withdrawals were an act of protest of the Justice Department’s reversal on its sentencing recommendation for Stone. https://t.co/V0C881ggLi

Via ABC News:
“The Justice Department filed an updated sentencing memorandum in its case against Roger Stone late Tuesday afternoon, noting that the previous recommendation of seven to nine years against President Donald Trump’s longtime friend and former campaign adviser “would not be appropriate” and instead said it “defers to the court.”
At about the same time, the entire team of federal prosecutors involved in Stone’s case withdrew.
Earlier Tuesday, in another stunning development that raised questions about possible political interference, the department announced it would reverse course on its sentencing recommendation for Stone, only hours after Trump himself reacted to the recommendation by calling it a “miscarriage of justice.”
As you might expect the Democrats and the mainstream media have gone insane claiming a new Trump crime that requires a new investigation:
The DOJ Inspector General must open an investigation immediately.
I will be sending a formal request to the IG shortly.https://t.co/JkpEzkZQFT

Was Roger Stone treated unfairly?
Chuck Schumer on the Roger Stone case: “I call on Judiciary Committee Chairman Graham to convene an emergency hearing … to conduct oversight and hold hearings. That’s the the job of the Judiciary Committee, no matter who is president.”

Fox News contributor Mollie Hemmingway sets them all straight and explains why the outrage is ridiculous with a single, short but sweet tweet:
Our media and other Resistance figures are claiming 9 years for Roger Stone would be reasonable. That’s *insane* — even if you thought Mueller probe wasn’t otherwise sketchy.

Exactly right! Apparently others think so as well:

Federal lawfare prosecutors knew this when they recommended ridiculous sentence and then lied to DoJ via State Dept about it.
They also choreographed their recusals/resignations on cue.
This is an internal “resistance” setup of AG Barr & POTUS Trump
So far working flawlessly.

Yup. The IG should investigate the motives of the thuggery of asking 7-9 years for a first time, 67 year old offender charged mostly with a thing that rarely gets prosecuted which came about from a congressional investigation into a DNC-funded farce that was known to be a hoax!

The creep Rick Gates who “cooperated” with Mueller & testified against Stone, @POTUS, & Manafort was sentenced on 12/17/19 to 45 days in prison. Gates ADMITTED to stealing hundreds of thousands of $’s from Manafort. The whole thing stinks of corruption in the Mueller team.

Exactly.
Roger Stone was treated unfairly and now the DOJ has attempted to partially rectify that situation.
The rest is all noise.
