The most serious charge against Stone was witness tampering. That witness, Randy Credico, says he never felt intimidated by what Stone said, that it was typical Stone bluster, that Stone didn't really mean it. He wrote a letter to the Judge explaining that, and he was not asked by the prosecutors if he felt intimidated. Stone's lying to Congress bit was no worse than Brennan's, or Comey's, or Hillary's lies for which they have yet to serve any prison time. And in the committing of these process crimes which would never have occurred if Stone had not been investigated on bogus pretenses which turned out to be unproven, he was a first time non-violent offender. And Barr was right to object to the overly harsh sentence.
Barr is doing a good job. He doesn't "needs to go." You're just being a partisan hack. And it appears to many others that Stone was being set up. Who knows? But it is not baseless or conspiratorial to think that or to object the sentence of 7 to 9 years.
