Barr could stop this farce tomorrow before breakfast if he wanted to.

I would love to know how he could do this. This case is completely in the hands of the judge for the moment. She has the authority to decide on the motions that are in front of her and can decide when and if Mr. Stone goes to prison. She is a Federal District Court Judge, a member of the Judiciary and Mr. Barr has no authority over her or of the case.

Of course, Stone can appeal, but again it is in the hands of the Judiciary, not the Justice Department. The only person who can do anything outside the Judiciary is the President, who can pardon or commute at his discretion.

That ship sailed weeks ago while Barr was playing the bagpipes.

Stone has been convicted and sentenced.

Bagpipes are a priority. In all honesty it occurred to me long ago the deal Barr made was Mueller goes away if everybody skates. Barr is doing his best to uphold his end of the deal..

How? Trial already held and verdict given...what can Barr do to undo that?

How? The Attorney General has no say over what the Judiciary Branch does.
