While many Democratic leaders decried President Donald Trump making his feelings known about the Roger Stone case, there was no such uproar when former President Barack Obama weighed in on the Justice Department’s investigation into Hillary Clinton.
Stone was convicted in November of lying to Congress and witness tampering in a criminal case stemming from Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s probe.
On Wednesday, the president told reporters he had not communicated directly with Attorney General William Barr regarding the case but felt Stone “was treated horribly,†adding the original nine-year-sentence recommendation by the DOJ prosecutors was a “disgrace.â€
The DOJ pulled the recommendation following public comments by Trump, leaving the matter completely in the judge’s hands.
