Major fireworks at William Barr's Department of Justice. It was announced yesterday that a sentence of seven to nine years would be recommended by Federal prosecutors for Roger Stone, former Trump advisor and associate.
That was then, this is now. After Mr. Trump complained (via Twitter, of course, at about 2 AM today), that such a sentence would be horrible (Trump's word), the Justice Department, one would assume at the direction of the Attorney General, announced that the sentence would be greatly reduced, if not even rescinded.
That in turn caused three Federal prosecutors involved with the Stone case to resign in protest.
Mr. Trump's pursuit of autocracy may yet decimate the government.
