The prosecutors can't go to court, argue for a sentence only to have the POTUS say they can't ask for that sentence. He has NO AUTHORITY. This is not how the DOJ works. There is no position to "clarify". The court shouldn't even accept a "clarification".

I'm just shaking my head. "The Department" is who issued the recommendation, FFS.

House Democrats messed up royally. I'm sorry. They did.
