7-9 years is the guideline sentence. Barr’s stooge was forced to concede this.
It would’ve been significantly lower if he didn’t threaten a witness in his effort to protect Trump.
9 is surprisingly high. And prosecutors can recommend sentences lower than the guidelines, or on the low in of the range.
Pretending like 9 years wasn't a surprisingly high recommendation is disingenuous.
