Summary from USA Today:
Unhappy with federal prosecutors’ stiff sentencing recommendation for longtime Republican political operative Roger Stone, President Donald Trump took aim at his own Justice Department.
Soon after, the DOJ backtracked.
More than a week later, and after a cascade of disclosures, virtually every corner of the federal criminal justice system has been shaken. Prosecutors, former prosecutors, even judges have expressed concern about the appearance of political intervention in criminal cases.
Nick Ackerman, a former Watergate prosecutor who served under four presidents at the Justice Department, said Trump is undertaking the most concerted effort to politicize the department in at least 50 years.
"It makes Watergate look like child's play," Ackerman said. "I can't think of anything that comes even close."
Attorney General William Barr asserted he changed course on Stone's sentence before Trump's angry tweet, but the public disagreement about the appropriate punishment for a close friend of the president has set off alarms inside and outside the government.
Hours after the Justice Department announced it would rescind the sentencing recommendation, the entire prosecution team quit in protest, sending a shiver from Washington to some of the Justice Department’s most far-flung outposts.
More than 2,000 former Justice officials, whose collective service spans more than five presidents, called for the attorney general’s resignation.
The anxiety has seeped into the traditionally impenetrable chambers of federal judges, some of whom have been called out by Trump for their handling of politically sensitive cases. That includes U.S. District Judge Amy Berman Jackson, who sentenced Stone on Thursday to just more than three years in prison.
Trump has not let up. He said he has the "legal right" to intervene in cases. Tuesday, he issued pardons and commuted sentences of high-profile people whose crimes are similar to the ones his allies were convicted of. Wednesday, Trump returned to his grievance that the DOJ targeted his presidential campaign.
