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