This is unprecedented, as far as my mostly limited recent legal knowledge goes? I am not saying it is an all out conspiracy, from Trump, or just a reflection of the climate of the senior Justice Department positions, all whom are Barr people, like O Callagan, a hard right winger. Either way, what a mess.

Edit: apparently O' Callagan resigned in December 2019

Liu withdrew from conformation for the #3 at the Justice Department last year too, is #3 solicitor general, Noel Francisco's old spot?

edit: Rachel Brand's former spot, deputy associate attorney general

“Ultimately, the government defers to the court as to what specific sentence is appropriate under the facts and circumstances of this case,” the filing said, which was signed by John Crabb Jr., a federal prosecutor who joined the case earlier in the day. None of the four prosecutors on Monday’s memo signed it"

To not even offer a sentencing recommendation is again, very unusual. The judge is not going to go for this, she's a veteran, now of the special counsel trials and sentencing. She will give Stone 60 months is my guess, if this even makes it to sentencing, what a disgrace.

Actually, the prosecutors usually did this in the SC cases, which is a somewhat of a punt from Justice Department on this one.
