AG Barr and his lieutenants have increasingly exerted authority in politically sensitive probes at DOJ, fraying relationships with prosecutors at the US attorney's office in DC, and leading to a walkout of the career attorneys handling the Roger Stone case
People familiar with the situation at the DC US attorney's office said other prosecutors have discussed resigning in the coming days following the Justice Department leadership's decision to disavow and claw back a sentencing recommendation that prosecutors had made in the case of Stone, a longtime friend of President Donald Trump.
Flynn, the retired Army lieutenant general who was the first to helm Trump's national security council, pleaded guilty in 2017 to lying to the FBI about his contact with the then Russian ambassador to the US, but has in recent months waged a campaign to portray himself as a victim of malicious prosecution.
