A second Department of Justice (DOJ) prosecutor who recommended Roger Stone be sentenced to seven to nine years in prison left the case Tuesday after reports that officials would seek to reduce the sentencing request.

Devin Nunes in Wolverine Mode: This is Only The Beginning of Sunlight on The Mueller Team
Devin Nunes appears with Lou Dobbs and breaks the news on national media the nomination of former DC Attorney Jessie Liu was withdrawn. Mr. Nunes went on to discuss the issues around the DOJ and Deep State resistance effort and then contrasts the sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone against the 30-day sentence for SSCI Security Director James Wolfe.

Gonna be Article 1 of the next impeachment fiasco....

At least one of them has resigned as an attorney for DC altogether, by the footnote on the filing with the court, where he withdraws from the case.
A reasonable guess is the others have as well, but I have not verified such.
James 4:7
I gave some money to Stone’s legal defense and I am glad I did.
The 7-9 year recommendation was exactly what the Federal Sentencing Guidelines call for. What bumped it up was his threat to harm a witness; without that, the Guidelines would have been 4 years.
9 years for McCabe, probation for Stone.
