These things always only seem to go just the one direction.

The Office of the Inspector General that independently oversees the Justice Department is examining the sentencing recommendation for GOP operative Roger Stone, a DOJ source confirmed to Fox News.
The inspector general's investigation, which was first reported by NBC News, comes after Assistant U.S. Attorney Aaron Zelinsky testified before Congress in June that a DOJ decision to recommend a lighter sentence than originally suggested was politically motivated.
Zelinsky, a member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller's team, resigned from the Stone case after being overruled by DOJ superiors.

The Obama appointed judge thought the Mueller prosecutor’s recommendation was excessive.
Wow. up is down and down is up. The ridiculously large sentence was politically motivated and the reduction was simply bringing it back in line with reality. The inspector general is looking like yet another orange man bad kind of guy.
So instead of investigating the prosecutorial misconduct and evidence destruction of the coupists the “Barr” DOJ IG is supporting them? Lovely.
Agree 100%. Just more evidence here that everybody inside Main DOJ hates POTUS and wants him gone. Good luck to the sunshine pumpers trying to spin this one.
America was the exception but the monarchy* remains too stupid to know when to quit stealing.
Beware the Return of the Guillotine!
*Deep State
Will this be done by the same IG that wrote a 500 page report on the DOJ and forgot to mention that 31 phones had been wiped by the Muller team.
Notice how the leftists don’t wait years to act.
Notice how the leftists don’t wait years to act.
And notice the nothing we get from the do-nothing GOP Senate. They all hate POTUS and those who elected him.
“Zelinsky, a member of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s team,” That is all one needs to know about the validity of the charge. Remember too he is probably one of those who “accidentally wiped his phone so they couldn’t be investigated. One has to wonder about the reasoning of the IG to investigate such an accusation by someone with his history. More deep state crap.
Horowitz? Isn’t he the one that can’t find anything wrong?
The only political decision was the decisions to prosecute Roger Stone, and to conduct a no-knock raid with dozens of law enforcement officers to arrest him.
Exactly. The left has judges that are on stuff in 5 minutes after Trump does something.
During the Clinton and Obama years, whatever they wanted the law to do, their DOJ’s did EXACTLY as ordered and rapidly. Even stuff that was brazenly illegal, corrupt, politically motivated. They weaponized their departments against their enemies very effectively.
Meanwhile, a coup that was busted with all the evidence you could ever ask for? 4 years have now gone by with crickets chirping. IT’s so bad, that we’ve emboldened our enemies into massive monsters that are taking over cities and openly murdering, harassing us. All this while we hold the WH and the Senate. Some call this winning?? My fingers are crossed, but there comes a point when you realize that the Lone Ranger ain’t coming.
And yet, when you re-read the to be of the article, you (deliberately! ) fed the exact opposite : Trump-Barr are manipulating the DOJ and the prosecution illegally DESPITE the “oh so patriotic” internal DOJ recommendations to prosecute Trumps associates fairly and rigorously !
This single hate-filled persecutor is presented as the honest one, when he is the corrupt liar.
