NEW: Barr's intervention in Roger Stone's sentencing wasn't the first time he took control of a Trump ally's case.

Senior DOJ officials also stepped in last month to lower the government's sentencing recommendation for former Trump NSA Michael Flynn.nbcnews.com/politics/justi…
The revised sentencing recommendation for Flynn came on the same day Jessie Liu stepped down as DC US Atty [because Trump was to nominate her for a Treasury post]. She was replaced the next day by a Barr ally.

Trump has now rescinded his nomination of Liu.
“Four prosecutors abruptly withdrew from the case of President Trump’s longtime friend Roger Stone after senior DOJ officials intervened to recommend a more lenient sentence for crimes he committed in a bid to protect the president.”

Great lede, @ktbenner.nyti.ms/2uAGbsk
