Schumer calling for DoJ IG investigation of Roger Stone sentencing guidelines change



Chuck Schumer ✔@SenSchumer

To the DOJ Inspector General:

I’m calling for an immediate investigation of why the Roger Stone sentencing recommendations by career prosecutors were countermanded.

The American people must have confidence that justice in this country is dispensed impartially.


Senator Schumer sent this letter to Department of Justice Inspector General Michael E. Horowitz formally requesting an investigation into the reduced sentencing recommendation for Roger Stone who was convicted in federal court in November for obstructing Congress and witness tampering.

Open as many investigations as can be opened. Convicted felons are sentenced by JUDGES. Not fascist hacks.
