Stone—a long-time adviser to President Donald Trump and a veteran GOP operative—is due to be sentenced later this month for crimes uncovered during the investigation of Russian meddling in the 2016 presidential election.
Last week, prosecutors recommended a jail term of seven to nine years for Stone. But after Trump condemned the proposal, the DOJ said it would issue a more lenient sentencing memo. The four prosecutors that worked on the Stone case subsequently resigned in protest. Though Barr publicly complained about the president's tweets on the issue, critics have accused the attorney general of undermining the rule of law to protect the president and his allies.signed by former DOJ staff claims that Barr"openly and repeatedly flouted" the principle of equal justice under the rule of law.
The letter also warned it was"unheard of for the Department's top leaders to overrule line prosecutors, who are following established policies, in order to give preferential treatment to a close associate of the President, as Attorney General Barr did in the Stone case."that Barr"has no business in that job" and called on DOJ officials to"do the job right.
