Democrats leap to defense of prosecutors who lied to DOJ about Roger Stone sentence

Apparently, we're supposed to be upset that a group of four prosecutors, who told the Department of Justice one thing about what they'd recommend as a sentence for former Trump adviser Roger Stone and then told a federal judge another, are out of that job.

All four Justice Department prosecutors who sought seven to nine years of jail time for Roger Stone have withdrawn from the case after reportedly misleading DOJ officials over the sentencing recommendation.

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.

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi is leading calls for an investigation after the Department of Justice made a downgraded sentencing recommendation for President Trump's associate Roger Stone.

The real story is that Trump-crazed overzealous prosecutors trapped themselves in their own web of lies by being unable to restrain themselves from dishing out a reasonable sentence recommendation against what they told their bosses.

Flynn is currently in the process of trying to withdraw his guilty plea of lying to the FBI. The arrest of Stone, with the big SWAT team show and CNN cameras, was clearly a dirty-cop affair, and so was the freelance draconian sentence recommendation for Stone, who was convicted of process crimes such a lying to Congress, which was done after telling the DoJ the recommendation would be lighter.
