Sentences within the guidelines are what DOJ is supposed to recommend
Only extraordinary circumstances warrant a departure upwards or downwards. That was part of AG Jeff Sessions' policymaking, design to overturn what he felt were too much deviation during the Obama era DOJ.
Literally Trump (through his hand picked AG) implemented the new policy forcing the original sentence recommendation for Stone. And now DOJ is backtracking since it's a friend of Trump's.
Bill Barr continues to shred his credibility every day. He's an embarrassment to the profession.
