I wonder if Susan Collins is disappointed yet?

I love it when I see the left's talking points - in the exact same language - that I see on Twitter when I come here.

Sounds to me that there were a few over-zealous attorneys who over stepped their bounds.

A 7-9 year recommendation is crazy.
Compare that to the 30 days given to SSCI Security Director James Wolfe who actually leaked a top-secret information to the media and then lied to FBI investigators about it.

Crazy? It’s what the career prosecutors debated about and agreed to. Witness tampering is serious sh/t.

The Justice Department is corrupt. Trumpism is a cancer.

That is not what I heard.

Then you heard wrong. The only person who protested this was Trump, via tweet. Who did you think set the 7-9 year frame, Adam Schiff?

Whatever happens, it will be timed for maximum damage, and it will be contrived. Ukrainian President has now fired his Chief of Staff and replaced him with an Oligarch stooge, so

Trump/Putin 1
Free Ukraine 0

Our rule of law is being eroded as I type this, as we sink further into a Russian style oligarchy. There really is little to stop it at this juncture, short of millions in the street protesting, which isn't going to happen because we are a lazy and complacent society.

Or, perhaps, real corruption and prosecutorial misconduct is being uncovered.

Here's the revised memo, signed by the new DC USA, Shea. Hope he enjoys getting his ass handed to him by Judge Jackson.

It was a recommendation, dummy. By the prosecutors. They debated the recommendation amongst themselves and came down on the high end. Maybe get a little more informed before adding BS to the thread.

Until the last paragraph that seems to read like it was written by the defense.

You think a "noisy withdrawal" is a sign of prosecutorial misconduct? Really?

If the DOJ was reconsidering and wanted 3-5 years or 5-7 years, people would not be resigning en masse over it.

Prosecutors in charge of the federal case against Roger Stone may have lied to the Department of Justice about their lengthy prison sentence recommendation for Stone, according to a new report.

Fox News reported earlier today that DOJ was blindsided by the formal recommendation from operatives tapped by former Special Counsel Robert Mueller that Stone be sentenced to up to nine years in prison. A source told Fox that the sentence recommendation was “extreme, excessive, and grossly disproportionate” to Stone’s crimes.

“The Department was shocked to see the sentencing recommendation in the filing in the Stone case last night,” the DOJ official reportedly told Fox. “The sentencing recommendation was not what had been briefed to the Department.”

The report from Fox News suggested that DOJ was in the process of rescinding the rogue prosecutors’ recommendation.

Sources told The Federalist that Timothy Shea, who was recently appointed to take over as the top federal prosecutor in D.C. earlier this month, was bullied into agreeing to the sentence recommendation by Adam Jed and Aaron Zelinsky, who were originally tapped by Mueller to investigate whether Donald Trump treasonously colluded with the Russian government to steal the 2016 election from Hillary Clinton. A full investigative report released by Mueller last year revealed that the Mueller investigation found zero evidence for any of the claims of collusion between Trump and the Russians. According to a separate report on serial abuses committed by the Department of Justice (DOJ) during its investigation of Trump, the DOJ inspector general found that the government knew long before Mueller was even appointed that there was no evidence of any collusion.

That's a funny article. It's pure nonsense.

He didn't investigate collusion.

The Federalist is not a reliable news source, and apparently, neither is Fox "News" - find a different source.

The bottom line, the president was upset that his co-conspirator was being recommended for a 7-9 year jail term and intervened, publicly, on twitter. At least 3 career prosecutors resigned in protest.

If you are a Fed you better have a Plan B. It’s only a matter of time before this administration will ask you to do something unethical, illegal, or immoral.
