Looks like Attorney General Barr is still recommending jail time for Roger Stone, just not 7-9 years.
The government respectfully submits that a sentence of incarceration far less than 87 to 108 months’ imprisonment would be reasonable under the circumstances,” DOJ wrote.
The department said it would ultimately defer to the court as to the specific sentence to be imposed, but that the previous recommendation “does not accurately reflect the Department of Justice’s position on what would be a reasonable sentence in this matter.”
“While it remains the position of the United States that a sentence of incarceration is warranted here, the government respectfully submits that the range of 87 to 108 months presented as the applicable advisory Guidelines range would not be appropriate or serve the interests of justice in this case.”

the long sentences these lawyer were asking for was bait to get Trump to react and maybe pardon and then schumer would yell “Trump is a king dictating justice from his chair.”
